£16 for pensioners to watch a friendly, not very customer savvy ☹☹☹☹

Weather looking fair for the “friendly” and all the best for our new look team.  Hope we shall have good spectator turn-out to silence some of the ‘enemy’, particularly if we can continue our Law Cup victories!

Anyone know which club is booked in for our third pre-season friendly referred to in the twitter above?

The Law Cup is never a friendly. What score are we predicting?  

Tomorrow is a close game. But my gut says we will win, Hornets by 8.

Sadly, 18-14 loss after leading with sound defence for most of the game - hope it was a good game, with good support and with much promise for the season.

Well your gut was right for a fifty minute game. But I think it needs some pro-biotics to get it lasting the full eighty.

Great game well played by both sides. Goal kicking was the difference Hornets missed two, and Riddy had his usual reliable kicking boots on. The Hornets seem to have pulled together a good squad on a much reduced budget.

A good run out. Great defence in mid field. i do not remember Oldham breaking our middle line. We did not deserve to loose in the last few minutes.

Our coach is very positive on our performance and looking to our next hit out versus Salford, no venue or date?

Sorry to learn of Sheridan’s injury today and having to go to hospital - good luck to the lad.

Lewis has a broken and dislocated kneecap. Having op tonight. Incident on report by ref as a cannonball tackle.

[Big Doug]

 It looked a strong, fair one on one tackle

[sheddingswasus]

Just saying what was said after the game. We were in line with play but countn’t see the incident. The ref appeared to put it on report after Sheridan had left the field.

Our game with the neighbours on 7 April may be a noisy one:

"We also hope to see as many as you as possible at the Good Friday game against Rochdale.

"Great Friday – as we have called it – marks the start of a new era for this 147-year-old institution and we want you to celebrate a momentous day with us.
