jroyales Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Won't sleep thinking about next week's game. The Oldham lads from last season will have a point to prove, we have got to have a top referee for safety reasons. Score forecast Yhe Yeds 66 Hairnets 12.

If losing 66-12 is proving a point, the point proved must be that we were right to move them on!

Anita, at first glance, I read that as the 58th of June, 1988. I thought 'she's' finally lost the plot !!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anita Bath Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Yes, how many of that team where internationals at some point in their career. Those were the days when you didnt have to raid Hornets for your playing squad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anita Bath Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Not for me…a sad day for many reasons. It was ‘Good’ Friday and we were the last supper. Some would argue we havent risen from the dead since leaving the AG. But we will be up for it on Sunday….not sure Ill get a visa given that outstanding parking fine from Whitebank. I might have to leave the Bentley at home and cross in darkness through Tandle Hill. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wozzeryedhead Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 They might not chance o'keefe with that cut above his eye on Sunday, a skull cap wouldn't cover that, but he might be eager to play against his former team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course this should be a better team unless someone has spent stupidly which i don't think they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wozzeryedhead Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 And with sponsorship up seven fold on last year its probably paid for most of the contracts if not all of them, and with the sale on season tickets probably up as well, they're probably a lot better off than last year.

philipw Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 O'Keefe able to play on Sunday but then a 2 match ban kicks in (will miss Swinton and Workington by my reckoning - or maybe a potential 1895 Cup QF if we qualify). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy DoNut Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I have a hunch the club will be appealing O'Keefe's ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anita Bath Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Just two more sleeps…though I dont expect you yeds fans will be getting much given the task ahead. You will be able to see the long trail of hornets fans heading through Royton from space on sunday. Float like a butterfly…sting like a hornet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedford Roughyed Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
