RogerT Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 So onto Whitehaven Batley go at the weekend, now I never know whether there nickname is Jam Eaters or Marra's. I understand the old Woodman away bus isn't going so it looks like the support for the lads will be a bit lacking. I particularly don't want to listen to the very biased radio commentary.

Jordan Weir and David Seeds, the guys who cover Haven for BBC Cumbria, are two of the best local commentators out there. Call it as they see it, knowledgable and not afraid to give praise to the non-Cumbrian team. 1 Usually in Sunderland, sometimes in Sheffield.

Glad to see you think so, I was going to say the same thing but didn't want to seem biased I suppose if you don't want to listen to the radio you'll have no choice but to attend the game Hope to see a few of you guys at the game on Sunday, remember to come inside the ground for a pre-game beverage rather than the club on the way to the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can’t be the same Jordan Weir I listen to, he’s worse than John Cox, the most biased commentator in RL history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF, I'm not sure how easier it will be for you, the few games he did play he was a bit of a liability in defence for penalties, didn't carry the ball well and didn't last long minutes. We've brought in the current reserves player of the year from St Helens who is a young lad but I'd imagine he will offer us a lot more than DDW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
