Can someone explain why both Leigh and Keighley have to play midweek games when both Sheffield and Rochdale have a game outstanding and have had for weeks and weeks.

Since the first week of the season in fact

Sheffield can't play night games, the lighting at Owlerton is inadequate.

It is what it is Jim - lets get behind these lads on Wednesday in huge numbers after the weekends heroics and ensure we overcome the handicap that has been set by the fixtures

Life is what you make it, no time to worry about things outside your control, lets focus on us and maintaining the wonderful start against the odds on Wednesday night

Yet meets Championship standards(!)

Should be switched to Rochdale. Or even to Mount St Mary's(?) where they played Dewsbury the other year.

Aristotle , Plato , Socrates , and NOW Maurice the Philosopher .

No explaination but with the whole of the town buzzing after Friday, and although it’s a tough ask, I think playing so soon afterwards could be a great decision hopefully we’ll attract loads of ‘glory hunters’.

I know there’s often is a downer after a big game but I think us the fans will help to nullify that epecially if theres an increase in numbers, our squad is good enough to hold its own regardless of whom Rowley selects and Fax will be more than a little concerned about playing us whilst we’re riding high.

Up to us to raise the roof on Wednesday - the players have said themselves in the past that the fans can give them a huge lift when they need it most at times like this.

stand ovation for them on wed

Leigh made an appeal for the game to be put back to the Challenge Cup weekend but Halifax objected thats why it is being played Wednesday.

Can't blame 'Fax for trying to use every advantage possible, I suppose!

I'll be shouting, whistling and banging my hands together when those lads come to the field on Wednesday.

Banging your hands together



Tony clapping is better .

.

Nowt wrong with a good old hand banging

It's the same thing isn't it Ian. You can do dainty clapping like a lady at the opera or you can enthusiastically bang your hands together.

You know how refined I try to be Tony

.

I suppose shouts of "Bravo" are out of the question.

Certainly out of the question in the West Stand - we don't want any 'yobbish' behaviour there, thank you!

You'll think so when I get my confetti canons.
