they haven't got a home they are squatters

I would be happy with that tbh but i reckon its Widnes away.

Did anyone listen Brian mac interview On radio Leeds tonight sure I heard mention one of their fixtures can anyone confirm?

It was this one....... news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 835984.stm

That link has just GH on it what I heard was the coach

Yeah, but Brian Mac was also on Look North I think, talking about the World Club Challenge being at Shedingley.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh happy days

Poor old SKY have some tough decisions to make don't they?

Opening weekend SKY fixtures:

Saints at Home (to show off their shiny new stadium)
Salford at home (to show off Sale's shiny new stadium)
Widnes at home to some sacrificial lamb (to show the public they can compete)

Perm any 2 from 3

I hope it's us and we smash their back doors in.

Me too.

I can see us and Cas getting the away fixtures at Saints and Salford though, just so that Eddie and Stevo can slag off our grounds in comparison.

Aye, they do like to compare and contrast don't they?

I go back to what I said towards the end of last season - we ought to do a media day down at BV, with a big presentation on our plans for NM; some proper images of the stadium (not drawings in crayon) and an overview of what will actually be there - a bit like the one that Francis Stephenson delivered at a fans forum what seems like ages ago. Get YorkCourt, Sir Rodney and anyone else with credibility involved, and invite as many media bods as possible - wine, dine and hopefully, send them away with some positive impressions of our progress towards improvement.

That gives at least a fighting chance that when we're referred to in the media throughout next season, it won't always be in the scathing, patronising or negative tone that we were subjected to last season.

Does that mean that we'll be getting Cas on opening day soon then?

Great idea, the club have used a number of the ideas posted on here by supporters, hopefully this will be another one.

No, I still don't think despite the diggers being on site 3 years ago that there will be a new stadium to play in at GH anytime soon.

Ridiculously predictable if this turns out to be the case.

Must be the case then. Lets hope we see a different result to the last time the club were the sacrificial lambs, although I would take a similar season.

Whether it's this idea or another one, we certainly need to do something to get the media talking us up a bit, or at least not sticking the boot in.

Timing is key however - it would need to be close to the start of the season; journalists are lazy bleeders, so if it's not on the radar when the season starts, they'll forget all about it and revert to type.

check out their league www.widnesvikings.co.uk/ need to pin a copy of that up in the changing room

At the minute, you have week three off.

So I presume we have got Leeds early but this date clashed with WCC? So we'll have to squeeze a game in during summer?

Only as your playing Manly ! Allegedly

Don't think they could broadcast that before the watershed, imagine the Appologies wiggy would feel obliged to blurt out.

away v widnes is first game, on tv aswell!!
