Batley are ready for this! Even if we get hammered the Dogs fans will cheered em all the way to the end.

The only folk I've ever found that had heard of TOXIII were the staff in Pub O'Clock and The Melting Pot, no taxi drivers, no bus drivers, no hotel staff - no one.

Not even a Wire fan I was chatting to in Pub O'Clock that was living there, working for Airbus.

 

First time we went in 08/09 we were literally round the corner from the stadium and nobody had a clue who we were talking about , " To Olympic non " , with a gallic shrug

Can't see it happening but it will be fantastic if Batley won, if only to hear Derek's rant after it!!!!

Providing Leigh do not succumb to the weight of the pressure, it won't be a problem. Sadly, I can't see a repeat of the 2013 game at your place.

Regardless, it's been a season of great attacking rugby by both sides. I've never seen a Batley team play a better brand of football. 

Today feels like an end of season party, another opportunity to see the lads off that have entertained us so much this year.

Play with freedom, no pressure, just enjoy the day Bulldogs!

I'll be unable to watch or listen to the game. Whoever wins will have done so on merit. Despite the negative effect of all the jabbering from one or two of their fanatics on the forum, may the better team win. It's open to any other club to do what Leigh has done to get this far.

I certainly won't miss em but will look out for their results with interest . I can't even blame them for us not going up or even Batley,that was down to a rubbish coach.

[graveyard johnny]

is the game also on BT sports?

[Bedfordshire Bronco]

 I'm out of the loop 

Is this effectively a dead rubber? 

Leigh lose they are still in SL right ?

Featherstone Rovers 83, i know i could go on but  Leigh are far and away the best team,full time for a start and already beat Batley twice quite easily. Batley will give it their best shot and good luck to them but Leigh are at home as well,best Championship team in years.

Nowt changes in Toulouse. 
 

Remember when I went in 2018. I counted 800 and they announced the crowd as 3500. Trees were nice !
 

Only in France !

 

Must have been a poor game.

Seriously to all supporters of both teams and all viewers on Premier enjoy the game wherever you are, and although I do not expect Leigh to lose if they do I will be the first to congratulate and applaud Batley, it will take a super human effort from them to get the result.

Again....I am behind 

Let's say by a miracle they beat Leigh. What happens? Is it a definite no to SL entry to Batley?

Why should it be, unless like you I have missed some announcement, but that is not the way Rugby League works, they would let Batley win it first then tell them they can't go up for whatever reason.
