crashmon Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 this is going to get the thread locked. What we all can agree on is that doing the Bash on the cheap in a basic city with nothing to attract the fans other than the games is a disaster. Either scrap it, or put it back in a non RL location so its a day out for the supporters, and not just another away game on the calander 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patx71 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I wasn't going to go initially, as a Leyther who likes Blackpool I was a bit miffed it got moved to Leeds. But decided to go and it was just ok. Hopefully back at Blackpool next year and I'll be there whether were in SL or not. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piggy's mate Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 On 31/07/2022 at 21:34, The Blues Ox said: Its nice to have the event but could they not decide the fixtures after a good number of rounds? I mean what difference would that make if you just decided it were 1v2, 3v4, 4v5 etc after x amount of rounds? At least it would not be stacked in some teams favor then. This for me. You could build from starting with the relegation 4 pointer and end with 1st vs 2nd. The round would have much more impact and fixtures could be set two weeks before the event. I would rather Batley play the next in the league than relegation fodder! 3 1 Touch Rugby W(h)inger and part-time Super Hero (Thursday mornings by appointment) BATLEY BULLDOGS RLFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s systematic of the culture in this country st present - look after yourself and if you are lucky enough to be at the top or inner circle, stay there, don’t make waves and keep taking the spoils! why organise for the club furthest away to play first agains one of the clubs closest to the ground! Shocking planning unless of course no one cares about London - oh that’s right - they don’t! the most sensible choice of opener would have been Fax v Bradford as both local and bring big numbers to get the stands going! Put London 2nd or 3rd! let’s have a open declaration of costs for the weekend and how much Leeds got/RL and how that was broken down! Bet expenses were a high cost factor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent years listening to how expensive the food and beer is in London and then get charged £4.50 for a substandard pint and the same for chips and cheese!!!! Felt I’d been mugged. All pubs close to the ground closed by 11pm unless had music and you were in before a certain time which, having gone for food made it impossible as stayed to watch the Leigh show Edited August 2 by watcherofRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcherofRL Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 23 hours ago, crashmon said: So I would do it based in the following criteria 1) Teams in the playoffs previous season should be matched, teams outside playoffs should be matched 2) Then where possible, teams who have derby's who meet the ciritera above should be matched So looking at the current table (and please do not hate on me here on some assumptions) Fev / Leigh vs Tolouse /Wakefield Fax v Batley Barrow v York Bradford v Keithley (assuming Keithley get promoted) Widnes v Swinton \ NW crusaders \ Haven (if Donny get promoted) Thunder v Haven \ Donny (if Donny Promoted) London v Sheffield I think this would be the most likely scenario to have competitive games in the Bash, while trying to keep some focus on geography.

DemonUK Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 (edited) Any extra game outside of the Home and away format, could skew the league positions. For example soeone could miss out on the play-offs by 2 points. Someone could get relegated due to the results in the extra round. Imagine for example Dewsbury get relegated but if they had won their game at the bash they would have escaped. What would have happened had they played Workington instead of Batley. Also Fev could yet end up third especialy if they lose against Widnes and Fax. That would mean an extra game in the playoffs due to having played Leigh three times.

sweaty craiq Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I was warned off for taking a position on a raised walkway that was empty to find the lads I was with, going round the back of the stand was hundreds of fans from various clubs both vaping and smoking as stewards watched on.
