Whitehaven away

[RogerT]

So onto Whitehaven Batley go at the weekend, now I never know whether there nickname is Jam Eaters or Marra's.

I understand the old Woodman away bus isn't going so it looks like the support for the lads will be a bit lacking. I particularly don't want to listen to the very biased radio commentary.

Aren’t they running buses from the Victoria pub Carlinghow now?

Jordan Weir and David Seeds, the guys who cover Haven for BBC Cumbria, are two of the best local commentators out there.

Call it as they see it, knowledgable and not afraid to give praise to the non-Cumbrian team.

Glad to see you think so, I was going to say the same thing but didn't want to seem biased I suppose if you don't want to listen to the radio you'll have no choice but to attend the game

Hope to see a few of you guys at the game on Sunday, remember to come inside the ground for a pre-game beverage rather than the club on the way to the ground

I thought he was quite the opposite of biased after listening to the commentary of Haven vs Eagles at the weekend!

Yes but enough not booked on it to make it cost effective.

TBF I'm not surprised, you guys played some great stuff

[phildog]

No bus this week, not enough. OK for me cos from N Yorks it's straight along the A66. Room for 4 if anyone can get to Thirsk area by 10!

It can’t be the same Jordan Weir I listen to, he’s worse than John Cox, the most biased commentator in RL history.

Trip made a little easier; Dalton Desmond Walker has been sacked by 'Haven for -a breach of operating rules'.

TBF, I'm not sure how easier it will be for you, the few games he did play he was a bit of a liability in defence for penalties, didn't carry the ball well and didn't last long minutes. We've brought in the current reserves player of the year from St Helens who is a young lad but I'd imagine he will offer us a lot more than DDW.

Why does it? If our halves don’t turn up and play we could be in for another long afternoon

Looking on the bright side!!

It's going to be another heavy slog according to the weather it's to rain up there tomorrow and Sunday.

Al Bowlly was the original you will recall.

Who

According to Wikipedia, he was popular in the 1930s, which may be why BSJ recalls him...

Sorry, BSJ, before my time.

And if you recall him, you're even older than I thought!

A lovely sunny (for now!) day up here in Cumbria, safe travels to any fans making the trip, remember to call in the clubhouse for pre/post match drinks
