It'll be like "Little Big Horn", only one winner, and sadly it won't be the one I'm supporting. UTK

York 26-24 Batley

[Harry Stottle]

After last week York showing their League position is cuertosy of having the 'easy' fixtures early doors, both players and coach getting plaudits that they are not deserving, It is now up to York to show what they are made of, lose this and their season is over.

[silverback]

You still have play-off hopes?

[The Blues Ox]

Can't see anything but a Batley win by about 10 points. Its a big game for Batley as they can really only afford the slip up against Leigh to keep 3rd place in their hands so if they can can through this one then it likely gives them the Fax game as the decider for 3rd.

Our faintest of faint hopes of the playoffs will be ended by London on Saturday

They will have to concentrate on their attacking strategies on both nights training this week (that is if  they have two training nights with playing on Monday) if they are to improve on the Fax game.

Yeah they are inproving. If London do win then I would like to see us blood anyone we can and tell a few lads that if you are still carrying the same amount of timber then we cant offer a new contract. 

Can you please tell me how Steve Crossley has managed to persuade recent coaches that he us still worth a place on the field?

How very melodramatic. 

After playing everyone once in the league this year we lost against Leigh, Fev & Halifax and beat everyone else - including Batley, Barrow, Bradford and Sheffield on their own patch. Easy fixtures early doors is a complete myth.

Ok fair enough Gav, I was looking at what York have remaining and it is against the top teams.

[Harry Stottle]

Never mind Toulouse, what is the expected temp in York on Monday Night, it is in the red zone of the severe weather warning for the UK isn't it?

[JonT]

Just a tad on the warm side by the looks of things.

 

[georgeb1]

Good to see the south stand also open on Mon night as the club reports strong ticket sales.

Around 36-37C in York tomorrow, and probably around 33-34C at kick off. Hopefully the players are given plenty of water breaks.

I should imagine it will effect those who are part time in that they have jobs away from their Rugby moreso than Full time player's.
