Fixtures

[phildog]

Big trumpeting of new fixtures about 8 days ago from the RFL to be in clubs' hands by yesterday. Of course they managed SL's last week....

Please read POR's thread on the 27th of last month.

Tells me absolutely nothing except guessing at Bash fixtures....

Just seen on Facebook Widnes are saying fixtures are out on Sunday 13th November.

I'm sure the RFL has deliberately thought up this machiavellian scheme just to really stick the knife into the championship clubs and especially the peasants of Batley RLFC who deserve some proper moustache twirling treatment after their unacceptable and cunning  march into the championship final last year.....

[RogerT]

They probably had not figured out that there was a quarter final that day, and suddenly realised the mix up and pushed it back another week.

[Batley Bob]

Every season super league is announced a week before Championships , nothing different this year

[phildog]

As I said then, yet another inability on behalf of the RFL to treat the commoners with respect.

Now a rumour of BASH NOT being at Blackpool but LNER Stadium York. RFL  Management Committee.,....totally unfit to serve if this IS the case.

It is and you are right. Should be a neutral venue for all clubs.

Batley would have preferred the bash to be at Fev and against FevTo be serious though I wonder if the Super League magic weekend would have gone down well if that was played at Headingley or Wigan for example? They never surprise me any more.

York is a great city for a day out. I’m looking forward to it.

[redditchbulldog]

so thats ok then ,, one team has home advantage RFL not fit for purpose should be a neutral ground for all teams, i for one won't be going if it's true, love York to go around the city but not on this occassion as much as i not keen on Blackpool as a place , i would go if it was there as no team would have an advantage.

My favourite City but the ground is 3 miles away and not much today round ground area unless you like shopping. Couple of restaurants and a pub about a mile up road so it looks like using park and ride.

There's lots to do around the ground, bowling, mini golf, cinema and a swimming pool plus plenty of places to eat and drink.

Who wants to go swimming or to the cinema when you're coming for the RL ?  How many places are there to eat and drink? I can only think of maybe 3 but i will stand corrected. Better then Headingley area i  will give you that.

Anyone who's family come for the day or weekend and don't want to go to the rugby.

The whole concept of Summer Bash is unfair. We got to play Dewsbury every year whereas Halifax, who we’ve generally been similar to, have had tougher fixtures.

I don’t think it really matters that York have a home fixture.

[phildog]

I had 2 new fans lined up to go over to Blackpool, they'll not be interested in York as we live only 30 miles away. If it's the case that the RFL announced a return to Blackpool without confirming with Blackpool then what does that say about the comedians running the show? They must know by now that fans want that weekend away, they haven't put Magic at the Totally Wicked have they? They daren't treat SL like doggy-doo but hey, Championship fans can be kicked around, they don't count.

You don't think Headingley area had any places to eat or drink?

But it’s your home ground , magic and summer bash have always been at a neutral ground

It's not our fault the R.L. picked York for the Bash weekend, I wanted Blackpool.

[Batley Bob]

The whole principal of the extra game (summer bash) is that it’s held at a neutral venue , there is every super league club ground that could be used , even some of champ one grounds
