Sounds like attention to detail could do with improving.

Very true.

It's dead easy to do on-line, but it does depend on the details being accurate. I couldn't understand why the form was telling me the bank account I was trying to send money to didn't exist, and in truth I don't understand the 'Lotto' and 'Loto' business at all; it's called Bulls Lotto, so why not Lotto on the account name

Any advice on where to park when (if) the stadium car park fills up?
That press statement makes it sound like the traffic wardens will be watching the roads around the ground like hawks, and makes no mention of using the school car park like somebody suggested earlier in the thread.

first away game I'm gonna manage to get to this year. Could be a double blessing if what I was told last night about who the guest commentator on BCB is going to be for this game

.

Anyone got any thoughts as to what squad we should put out on Sunday. In general I'd say you always put out strongest squad available, but we only have a small squad this year so I think we need to take this opportunity to give a few key players a break. Assuming foster,Blythe,Bateman and Evans all return then I'd think along lines of following. Foster or kear at full back with Kearney rested. Addy to partner gale with sammut rested. Evans in for scruton and Bateman in for whitehead. I'd like obrien to get a game too. Probably at l'estranges expense given diskin has already been rested at Easter. Probably too many changes to make at once buth think we need to look at making at least a couple of them to rotate squad a little.

I think Evans will almost certainly play. I'd expect Gale to get a full 80 minutes under his belt too.
The rest we can only guess until the official squad is released, but if Foster and Blythe are included then I would expect them to come in to get some match fitness.
I'd be surprised if Bateman featured.

Agree with Nothus, Gale full 80 as i expect him to play vs wire, evans to get a run and if foster and blythe are fit give them some game time.

Not sure about bateman, does he play or do we give him another week off for wire.

Would hope we could rest a couple of players who could be carrying knocks but with our small squad may not be possible.

Bulls Squad:
James Donaldson, Adam Sidlow, Jamie Langley, Manase Manuokafoa, Luke Gale, Adam O’Brien, Sam Wood, John Bateman, Heath L’Estrange, C, Adrian Purtell, Keith Lulia, Elliott Whitehead, Jamie Foster, Jarrod Sammut, Danny Addy, Tom Olbison, Chev Walker, Ben Evans, Michael Plat

Seems like FC doesn't agree

Going to be an interesting team selection. Bit surprised Kear has been left out as he seemed obvious one to play fullback in Kearney's absence. Wouldn't have thought we'd want to put Foster there as he's returning from an ankle injury and I'd imagine FBs a more stressful position in terms of sudden changes of direction than wing.

Wonder if we'll start with Sammut at FB, Addy and Gale in halves. With Addy going to loose and Sammut into halves to accommodate giving Wood a run at centre later in game. One of Platt/Addy dropping back to FB at that stage.

Would like to see Addy/Gale pairing given a bit of game time, afaik they haven't had much game time together and should Sammut get injured they'd be obvious pairing, so give it a try now where there isn't as much pressure.

Be interesting to see how FC lines us up.

11. Bateman
12. Olbison
13. Donaldson
14. O'Brien
15. Langley
16. Evans
17. Walker

Rest Sammut & Whitehead who have played every game this season.

IS jobe murphy injured?

Why hasnt he been included so we can at least rest another player.

I'm surprised Murphy's not included.

Don't think we'll expect Wood to play full 80 on his senior debut and don't think Walker is upto playing centre anymore to allow us to spell him. Maybe include Whitehead at Olbisons expense ( given Olbison had a knock recently) to allow us option of spelling Wood?.

Surprised no-one wants to rest one of the players vital to our great form.....Manuokafoa, for me this guy needs a rest and come back buzzing to rip into the Wolves.

There's limited street parking,follow the signs for the stadium from Junction 20,drive past the stadium and through the traffic lights you can park up there.Also when there's a big football match on they allow parking at Oulder Hill school just before the stadium signposted Gracie Fields Theatre.
The streets you CAN NOT park on are clearly signed with cones or street markings.

If we weren't already resting scruton then giving manase the week off would have been an option. As it is we need 4 props as Evans won't be fully fit yet.

Langley
Sidlow
Evans
and Walker (who has played prop numerous times against better opponents).

There's our 4 props.

Cheers bud.

Bateman and either Addy or Donaldson not used.
No point risking Bateman. I'm not buying this 'Sam Wood can't play 80 minutes' rubbish, he's been playing the full 80 every week this season for the U19's. Sunday's game will not have the intensity of a SL match, and his fitness levels will be fine.
I would also play Sammut and Gale for the full 80. This will be the first week where we can play our first choice pairing of half backs for an entire game - give them as much time to gel as possible.

The only other possible change would be to play both Addy AND Donaldson and give Chev a rest instead. We need him fit for as much of the season as possible, he's one of the more injury prone players in the squad and it might not really be worth the risk playing him.

It's frightening how small our squad is. We'd have been struggling to put a team out at this stage of the season with the injuries.

Suspect it may be played like the pre-season games with Dewsbury and we start with a strong side and finish up with some of the younger players. Without wanting to be disrespectful we need to crack on early doors and put the result to bed and then we can rest some of the regular guys, who quite frankly, with the injuries and small squad situation, could do with some time off the pitch.

I'd definitely rest two out of Manuokafoa, Sammut and Whitehead. I also see no problem with Wood doing 80 minutes.
