I can see that what he was trying to do but he's cocked up

if wants to have a pop at the RFL then he should just rip into them instead of a stupid bubble that can be interpreted both ways

yey a day out in dewsbury and batley i shall put that those in my diary

.

I have had a quick flick through RL express today as i expected to see an apology for you guys this week however couldn't find anything. Has anyone spotted anything I may just have missed it?

I know an expanation has been given to you however it would be nice to see a full apology in the paper just to make the whole RL Express readership aware of their error

I couldn't see anything either.

Nothing!!!!

I'd forgotten all about this. Maybe the paranoid amongst us should do the same too. It was a joke, one which obviously some didn't find funny, but nothing worth getting so upset about.

for gawwwds sake , a lot worse get posted on these very boards ...

sadler should not of apologised and why as the k f c kid got an issue with batley n dewsbury now?

Totally, if we loose our franchise, games against Batley and Dewsbury will be great games for us

As much as I thought this caption was a PI$$ take out of the RFL and the franchise "carry on", and to a fair extent, can see the funny side, I still think the Lge Exp should have made this clear to a lot more of it's readers that the irony was lost on.
To some it could definitely be interpreted as media exeptence of our plight, and that goes against everything we are fighting against.

It appears he thinks those clubs are below him and not worth his time or money to go support your club watching them against such "lowly" clubs as Batley & Dewsbury.

As for the picture, it was a general swipe at the whole license process and in the bit on the front inside page today about Cas they have another go at the process. So at a guess I'd say the RL Express doesn't like the franchise process in its current guise.

Just don't buy it if you don't like it.

Not a case of that really, just expect Lge Exp to right a wrong publicly, I think they have already explained (to the club) it was an editorial error.
So this weeks issue should have carried the correction.

alright Mr misery pants

I don't get why they should apologise for a joke. If readers missed the point behind it, it's their fault.

....... Tim Roby, who handled the occasion quite well - Gareth Walker LRE

Where was he sat???????????

BAN!

Yes - read it in the newsagent and if you see anything you don't like, don't buy it.

That'll work.

Probably judging it impartially and not with red, white and blue glasses, perhaps?

If you are not happy with the content in previous editions then don't continue to buy it. Works for me with the Wakey Express.

... and as someone who obviously witnessed this impartial (but not inept perhaps?) what was your opinion of his performance Fully?

exactly , at least when you travel to the batleys your surrounded by 100 % fans

I agree with this.

I like jokes, everyones offended about something these days especially on the tinterweb.

The fact that the chap is a wakey fan makes it even more OTT

I wouldn't know, as I was watching my side storm to the top of the league.

On the other hand, a journalist with no ties to either club......well, I trust his judgement, that's all I'll say.

So you are simply trolling as per then.

Thanks for admitting it. Your honesty is refreshing.
