They are there.

when you click on the 3 lines top RH corner - which opens the other pages squad etc, the FB an twitter logos are right below Hall of Fame

Ah you're right completely missed it. Still ,maybe a text link ie "FB Workington Town RLFC News and Updates" instead of just FB logo might be more useful?

Gales and heavy rain are forecast  what a shame.

[pmac]

If the game is called off due to the weather and most of February is already taken with fixtures, it may be March to play the game. 

[Neutralfan7]

Could play for it in the 1895 cup game if it gets called off this weekend. Isn't looking good with the weather

[pmac]

That ain't a bad idea I was not sure if that could have been the case tbf.

[The Voodooguru]

It's just a bit of wind & rain, it would never have been called off back in the day but not so sure nowadays. 

At least if it's cold the jameaters might keep their hands in their own pockets!

It's more the freezing ground than the wind and rain

Potentially 60mph winds and heavy rain sounds a bit more than “just a bit of wind & rain” to me??

would it not be better to rearrange and get a decent crowd rather than the hardy few watching one side kicking the ball down field to force an error while the other side trying to make ground into driving rain and 60 mph wind, or watching for the roof blowing off the stand??
Just remember what one side does in the first half the other side will do in the 2nd half ( sorry didn’t mean to give away havens game plan)

Since when as the weather forecast been correct - probably sunny?

But if cancelled playing during summer on a challenge cup week [after we both out] would be better

[townie88]

On a selfish note. I need my rugby league 'fix'. Get it on

I think there will be a new structure next year once the RFL finally see's that league 1 doesn't work with how it is this year. Hopefully not to the detriment of any clubs. 

[TOWN TILL I DIE]

Looking at the squad on the RFL site if thats correct some surprises in it & some notable left out

Think it only lets you put 21 on that site so Thompson and Walker have probably just been missed off

[Rex3]

If storm conditions as predicted, how can game go ahead with wind strong enough to blow trees down? If goes ahead, could end up being abandoned ?

[donald]

Only 18 man squads on Sunday was agreed by both coaches

[Peter Winthorpe]

70mph winds are dangerous for older fans getting in and out.

The club has a duty of care, so hard as it would be to postpone given all the work done, they must lput back till a free weekend later.

Well CH dont want one big league and one suggestion before this years fixtures came out was Ch and L1 back to 1 x 12 and 1 x 11

So that could mean 4 teams coming down - because Promotion [2 up]  already planned for this year?

100% agreed 

[Haven 123]

Game off….! Right Decision on all counts. 

[The Voodooguru]

So it's postponed. Gutted, as I've been looking forward to it for weeks. But I understand the reasons. Reds is on today, might be have to give it a shot.....

[bobg]

Very sensible decision,
