Have we done that before? We didn't do it for the Princess of Wales or Prince Philip or King George VI. "We'll sell you a seat .... but you'll only need the edge of it!"

Diana and Philip weren't head of state. I wasn't alive in 1952, so I've no idea. I know that some cricket and Rugby Union games were suspended, but can't find any information about RL.

The Table shows that the Bulls are now the 12th best team in Yorkshire. Both teams playing with Kear's gameplan. Playing on a tennis court with concrete bollards running alongside the touchline. I tip the Bulls to win and I will buy advance 2023 season tickets this week. Yes, obviously, I'm stupid. The very definition of a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Stottle Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Not seen any squad published for Leigh v Batley but I should imagine with next week off it will be as full strength as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from Edward VII, who died in the summer. It's a myth that there was some lengthy mourning period in the past. "We'll sell you a seat .... but you'll only need the edge of it!"

The Blues Ox Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Just a thought with the Queens funeral next Monday this will throw a spanner in the works of Premier showing a playoff game on that Monday as I can't imagine any games will be played.

No games will be played out of respect. Also it wouldn't feel right going to the game on the same day. It should be possible to re-arrange the game. I thought the Saturday play off game was the one on tv though? I haven't checked so I may be wrong. My club will be playing, though not sure if home or away or on tv yet.

If it's the Fax game that's selected, I'd suggest pushing it back 3 or 4 days to the Thursday or Friday evening to give them more time to recover from today's Fev game. See, us Fev fans are really considerate. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickmike wilson Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Barrow are winning 20-30 in the final few mins so HUGE CONGRATULATIONS in finishing the season an astonishing 4th Batley won’t fancy the away game in Barradise as much as we do but it’s anyones game on the day. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarc Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Probably the biggest win of Barrows season! Doing it with only 2 props - one playing 77 mins and the other the full 80 - is mightily impressive. Hopefully we will get another couple of bodies back before the play off semi. Should be a belter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also had 1 forward on the bench and our starting second rower got injured after 5 mins and didn't come back on. Got absolutely dominated in that game. We just won with nothing more than determination. London I think are 3 or 4 top players off being challenging for play offs. Should be a great occasion playing Batley at home, first championship play off game in the best part of a decade. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
