Batley Bulldogs

A great initiative by the board, they were buoyed by the number of fans travelling away in the playoffs last season. Knowing its going to be a financially tough year for fans this will be a big help, hope its a real success, I'll use my extra tenner to bring someone new to the game each week, hopefully a few Superleage neutrals might head along and see what a great sumners day out Mount Pleasant is.

Hope it's a success for them and that (like Bradford City in soccer) they keep a decent percentage of those paying lower prices now when they have to raise them gradually in the future.

[Jughead]

Wow, that’s a great offer. 

They’re a really likeable club, who do things the right way and go about their business quietly doing so. Many in the sport could learn a lot from the Dogs.

Great stuff.

Who are the sponsors? He doesn't say.

You'd hope they can fill the £30k with more attendances, concession spend etc.

[Chris_T]

It was announced on an earlier video. A few existing sponsors have upped their investment to offset the shortfall.  I really hope it works out, any championship fans who have been on a warm summers day will vouch for what a great afternoon out it is, when the bouncy castle and other activities is on for the kids and a live band behind the Glen Tomlinson stand, and Batley playing good rugby as the last 2 seasons. The board deserve backing, it's a big gamble.

Thing with the Turkish barbers is they are open 7 days a week , probably 14/15 hours a day 

Be surprised if some are not open this Sunday 

Different culture

A scandalous and bigoted remark. You forgot to add the hand carwashes

I apologise.

Male grooming from shows like TOWIE has clearly had a huge impact in Fev.

[Guest]

This was a recent favourite.

unemployment is no joke you know - the number of young men that have nothing to do but hang around on the streets bored (sat in 100k bmws and audis  amongst other luxury cars i have never been able to afford ) is heartbreaking - is there any chance of them been able to find good old fashioned employment?

was thinking of starting an urgent appeal with it been christmas - there are young men on the back streets of ravensthorpe without jobs and no income who have to run luxury cars like mercs audis lexus and bmws - with the price of fuel and everything else these days how can they possibly survive?

Not since we exported everything abroad. Men prefer jobs which are hands on but now it seems like everything is office based. I'm sure tge jobs are there because we have a shortage but the pathways are very poor.
