That's what big clubs like yours usually do for their lesser neighbours to offer a helping hand. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.
phildog Posted November 24, 2022 Posted November 24, 2022 Doubt it'll be a lot down in the ice bowl BSJ! I was perished at Widnes last pre'season and Kingstone Park but I reckon South Leeds in January will beat both. BTW both clubs quiet over Boxing Day...

I am told on good authority that the Boxing Day game is being planned for your place at 12.00. Clubs in general will be making plans for pre-season friendlies so I guess that most would want to announce them as a whole rather than in dribs and drabs.

phildog Posted November 28, 2022 Posted November 28, 2022 BISSA have posted as such today BSJ. The actual club doesn't seem to know...
RogerT Posted November 29, 2022 Posted November 29, 2022 I'm not too bothered about friendlies, I only went to Huddersfield last year as I had never been there and won't be going again what cold soulless stadium.
toffeedog Posted December 6, 2022 Posted December 6, 2022 No mention of dews game is it still happening

It's one ground i can't stand been for RL and football. Give me Batley, Dewsbury, Barrow, Haven and Town any day.
RogerT Posted December 21, 2022 Posted December 21, 2022 What no other details, like date and time for those interested in friendlies.

phildog Posted December 21, 2022 Posted December 21, 2022 We're obviously avoiding any lousy weather damage to The Mount pre-season....
RogerT Posted December 27, 2022 Posted December 27, 2022 Just reflecting on the friendlies to come, are they shared gates just like Boxing Day.

RogerT Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 It's 22 days to the next friendly and all is quite on here, have we all hibernated.

Nope I just think the teams are playing aren’t exciting I’d like us to play castleford or Wakefield away teams we don’t exactly visit http://tombatley.wordpress.com/ Give it a read..
toffeedog Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 Cant seem to attract top teams to play us used to get hull castleford and Huddersfield now it's hunslet and york not the most attractive friendlies

The thing is if we play a sl team they play hardly any first teamers, so give me york any day.

It's not really testing for a Championship side. Hull was mainly young lads with cameos from the big boys, which was better i suppose. Hunslet will gives us chance to try most players without travelling far. York v Batley will be good indicator for both sides. Last year's finalist V a contender. SIGNATURE

Everyone would love to see a full strength Saints or Rhinos at Mount but you also need to be realistic of how game plans can pan out against these type of sides in a friendly. It'd be a great tester but you'd probably struggle to try out those new training ground pieces. I'd be more interested in drawing them in the Chaenge Cup where it would be meaningful. SIGNATURE
