Goole Vikings

[Cumberland Sausage]

So this weekend will see us welcome another new Club to the Fibrus Stadium.

Considering the players they brought in and going dual reg with both Hull and Hull KR I think they will be disappointed with the start they have made.

Really looking forward to this game and I was planning to do the VIP lounge with some friends but have had to book it for the Dewsbury game as it was already fully booked which is fantastic to hear as these are the additional cash streams that keep the club alive.The work Graeme and our amazing team of volunteers put in to make sure the match day experience is more than just on the field is one of the major improvements we have seen over the last couple of seasons.

If everyone could just drag along a friend to this match and they can see what an exciting team we have put together I would hope they would return for more of the same against Dewsbury.We need to build the fanbase if we are to improve the squad even further and really push on for Championship Rugby next season.

[WTRLFC WEBSITE]

Thank you for the kind words, everything we do is as a team, from the boards vision to the functionality of a matchday. 

We still have many things to improve on, we are aiming to do everything with sustainability and consistency and we are going well, but we must keep the mindset of every day, wake up and try and make the club better. 

We hope our progress under Jonty is reflected in 2 strong home crowds v Goole and Dewsbury, early bird savings are available now at www.townrlfc.com TICKETS section and we continue to let children come in for free as we aim to solidify our top 4 position and grow a fanbase to support those aspirations. 

We need the wider fanbase who attended v Leigh and Whitehaven to consider getting behind everything this club is doing and back our vision to make this club one you can all be proud of, unfortunately I've spoke to a few saying they're not coming as they're watching an already won Premier League fixture and celebrations, that's disappointing for us, we've a great product, on people's doorstep and a locally based team in the top 2 and as a club we're on the up on and off the pitch. The future is a very bright blue and white. 

We thank those who are coming, you are our best advertising, please keep banging the drum - bring a mate or 6 and let's keep it rolling.

You gotta roll with it.

..... if you mean they're watching it on TV I really feel for you but I'm sure with the brilliant work you're putting in on and off the pitch people will appreciate more the value of a local club and the support will grow UTT

I'll be there, I came from Kendal by bus for the Haven game. As I have bus pass it's a no trainer.

[Unicorn 106]

I doubt any true fan will miss the Town game to watch the last PL games, unfortunately some not so staunch fans will. Just our luck, if it’s not Mother’s Day it’s something else. Hopefully we still get a decent crowd. UTT.

What was the issue exactly? 

I've used the system and don't have any issues, but if there's a way of improving it, then we'll speak to the platform provider.

It shows people know where we are when there's a big game on its just a case of convincing them its what they want to do with their Sunday afternoons. Being at the sharp end of the table and playing great rugby is a good start but there needs to be more attractive fixtures like a top of the table clash you can really promote. 

Keep doing what you're doing on and off the pitch. Some Might Say it's a Supersonic Masterplan. 

[town2018]

This is a game I've looked forward to all year to be honest because it's sort off going into the unknown with them been a new club etc and the team they have on paper are struggling same as Keighley but they have recruited well this week with the signings of tali and savelio but I still think if we're on our day we have far to much for them 

Il go with 

Zarrin

Dave 

Rio

Spencer

Levi

Dom if fit / jammer

Carter

Stevie 

Phillips if fit / jammer 

Ainley 

Cooper 

Jake 

Jack

Guy

Lucas

Jammer / Cole

Goole have strengthen their side today with Savilio and Tali coming on loan from Doncaster.

Savellio by his own admission isn’t as fit as he could be and Tali is 37 and hasn’t played much at Doncaster. 
 

Great players in their own right but coming up against a side riding high on momentum despite the lack of continuity within the league (stop/start) I think Town have too much. 
 

The typical BH weather forecast may be a leveller in areas but shouldn’t be a deterrent for supporters. UTT 

[wonky]

Can't see anything than a comfortable win for town. Confidence is high, keep jammer at 7 with dom on the bench. We have 2 of the best attacking players in the league in zarrin and Levi, and a pack that's dominating, so anything other that a town win is unthinkable 

[WTRLFC WEBSITE]

Supporters ticket reminder. 

Club shop is open 1030-430pm today for ticket sales and early bird savings of £3 

Online early bird sales will run until 6pm Saturday. 

Kids go free.

It's exciting every time Jonty says "we're nowhere near the finished article ,there's a lot more improvement to come".

[WTRLFC WEBSITE]

We'll be announcing a couple of bits of cracking club news in the Northern Competitions marquee after the game. 

So we've got some great Oasis Britpop music with Lee M Gallagher lined up and 'some might say', in fact we think all will say that some great news has come your way by Sunday evening!!

Ciaran Walker playing for Seaton today - has he been released ? 

[Hate the rec]

Goole have all their big guns playing tomorrow plus there two new loan players, won't be an easy game this , will be happy for a one point win , UTT  

[Unicorn 106]

Weather could be a leveller today but I would like to think we can put on a solid professional performance like the last few games and take the points. Get down to DP and get behind this very promising Town team. UTT.

[Hate the rec]

I wonder what the. 2 announcements are after the match today any idea Donald

[Peter Winthorpe]

Nervous second half that.

Glad that banana skin is out of the way before Dewsbury and my annual visit.

No idea marra as in the sun in gran canaria now

[Limmertime]

Scrappy at times but decent win, a match we would have lost last season!

Fulton, well deserved man of match....outstanding in defence, thought Doran and Bradley had solid games also. 

Goole never gave up and got some fortunate tries....the red ended their hopes however. 

 

[Sticklebricks]

On the red card, how do they get a man sent off then get the penalty 

[townie88]

Was always going to be difficult to maintain such high standards after the keighly game. Thought we left plenty of points out there, especially in the 1st half. We were guilty of being a little soft in the middle compared to recent weeks. But a wins a win. Well done.

Fulton never misses does he. Deserved m.o.m. Galea with a superb try at the end never put a foot wrong all game as well.

Referee made some questionable decisions both ways.

Very ordinary performance, Fulton and Bradley, very solid, a good one to get out of the way, don’t think Jonty will be too happy with some of our defence particularly in midfield, however goal line spot on again.

we will need to be better next week v Dewsbury.
