townie88 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Big Derby game at the weekend and with all that's going on its hardly been discussed. Just listened to Jonty on radio. Haven do not have a single half back for this weekend. Is this the best opportunity we will have to get one over on the old enemy? Hoping the adversity of this week can galvanise us. Will the club be showing the game at the ground for those unable to travel? Opportunity to get some much needed cash in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am going leeds, but not over enthusiastic about the Derby tbh. Your right about showing the game at the club. Maybe open the fans zone? But too late now. Shame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derwent Park SC Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 The club doesn’t have sky in the bar so won’t have access to premier sports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I can’t think of a Derby game I’ve been less interested in tbh . I don’t know if optimistic is the right word but I was very enthused and excited about going back into the Championship but it’s been a demoralising experience on the field and now off it . I knew it would be tough but I expected us to be more competitive . Whatever resources we had were spent poorly and it never ever looked like we had anything like enough quality . But whatever the standard the returns and performances have been pitiful . I’ll go to the Dewsbury game and give what I can as ever but it’s just been a sustained beatdown all year until we’ve had the stuffing knocked out . The danger is that it’s to much of one to get back up anytime soon 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unicorn 106 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Is the game not on Premier sports ? Hoping it is so not many people will be watching it. Never been so pleased to be away this weekend and miss the game. Probably over half the posters on here at the moment are haven fans, will probably be 90% by Sunday night. Just as well haven are playing us twice, could have been an interesting run in with Dewsbury otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unicorn 106 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Not sure If we are taking many fans to this game, I was amazed we took a bus to Sheffield last week. These fans who still travel evert other week to watch Town have my utmost respect, they are amazing. For those who are going, I just hope it isn't a total embarrassment and we at least show some fighting spirit and pride in the shirt. Good luck to the team and those incredible loyal fans.UTT. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unicorn 106 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I know it won't be well attended today but I'm due there will be more than the London v Sheffield game yesterday. I'm sure the ground was completely empty. I'm not sure why this was moved from Blackpool ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death to the Rah Rah's Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) I reckon given all the well documented money troubles that Town will win today. All part of a plot by Haven to hammer that final nail in the coffin by making the club pay out winning pay!! (I’m obviously joking before the usual suspects pen their response!) ….but I do think Town will win !

It’s only a one-off at Leeds, Blackpool ground was unavailable due to the football season starting yesterday earlier than usual cos of the World Cup.

dkw Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Christ, all over them, pathetically soft penalty and were behind. That was a shocking penalty call. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derwent Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 That sums our season up, dominate play but can’t score then concede 2 tries in 2 minutes. I’m not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Voodooguru Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 1st try was especially harsh with the penalty, then looked like they lost the ball in the tackle. But we just can't catch a break can we? Need to try keeping the ball alive as its the only way we will break their line.
