Re: Derby Day!

Great to read some very honest and realistic comments on here. I sometimes switch off at the "blame the ref" and "the end is nigh" sort of stuff.

We lost but we can do much better. THE END (© Medlocke.)

Re: Derby Day!

We didn't offer much against their line speed in the first half. We were a man shot for 1/3rd of the match, but Saints have shown that they are still capable of matching us on their day. Can they do it over a season - I doubt it.

Re: Bill Francis

Thanks to both of you. Great memories stirred by a great player. We are lucky to have seen so many wearing cherry and white.

Re: Bill Francis

Was Bill at Gullick Dobson when you were MPE? By the way, he got a terrific send off irrespective of the Club's failure to attend. Many former players attended, including the great Billy B, Phil and Andy Clarke were coffin bearers, and his daughter gave a fitting eulogy. I didn't work for Gullicks,...

Re: Bill Francis

I missed this thread for some reason. Very sad news. Bill Francis was a hero of mine. Though I started attending matches aged 12 in the 63/64 season, I guess it took a while for me to start to understand the finer points of the game. It was watching Bill in the late 60s and early 70s, especially whe...

Re: LEAGUE. Joint Super League and NRL decision set to be made

Stupidity. It didn't work when we played Warrintion in Minneapolis in the middle ages. So you expected a single exhibition match to do what exactly? You need a multi-year plan, fully financed and thought through, with measurable and realistic targets at multiple points over the plan's timescale. Do...

Re: Ticket Info: Castleford (H)

Could I just point out for those who may be as old or as daft as me, that this thread refers to the home League fixture against Cas on 19th April, and not the away cup match which is the weekend before that, possibly 13th?

:D
