merely reporting the score of the game ?

and what are you speaking about ? whos days since a major ?

i havent had a social account in years its all dross

Wire need to do something proper research and get a decent aussie coach.  They've blown huge amounts of money on 2nd rate coaches and under performing players.  Imagine if they'd signed peters or cartwright instead of burgess

Are Rovers on track for the most successful season in SL history? Treble win apart (assuming, quite reasonably, they could achieve it) they've only lost one game going into June....

The Dobbins will win at Wembley for 2 reasons.  First we paved the way for them by beating the team who would have denied them, and secondly because it's the year all underperformers are ending their trophy droughts. Spurs, Newcastle, palace. 


I have plenty of family and friends who support them so will no doubt get some friendly banter but I don't mind as I've given them plenty in the past.


I'm  ore bothered about our continued upwards progress

I stand to be corrected on this but recall Bradford one year (possibly 2003?) won their opening twenty SL games, as well as winning the C.Cup versus Leeds, enroute to a dominant treble.


Saints, in 2006, I think only lost four games all year, all by margins of less than six points. We were one of the four victors over them that year, but lost at Old Trafford to them.


Going back even further, Wigan in 1986/87 only lost three times all season (in a far more congested fixture season), although bizarrely one of those defeats cost them a Wembley appearance.


rovers still have potentially another eighteen games still to play this season. That's an awful lot of rugby to play before anyone has the right to start comparing them to some of the truly dominant sides from the past. rovers play a very high intensity brand of rugby and I wonder if they can maintain it all the way to the end. They've essentially been at this level since last May but it wouldn't take too much of a drop off in performance level to make them vulnerable.


I also get the feeling Wigan are now just quietly stalking rovers waiting for the one slip up to let them in. Wigan can't stop rovers at Wembley, thanks to our good selves, but they will be lying in wait for them as the SL season draws to a close. I still feel Wigan at their best would beat rovers at their best. Wigan are the masters of finding their top performance level when it matters most and rovers may still need to confront that before they are anointed as the kings of all known universes!!!


It remains to be seen which comes first, the end of rovers winning run or your weekly obsessive posts about them, we shall see!!!      

Good to hear from you bob. We don't see that much of you these days.

On the new council estate development, can you maybe answer me a few questions as I'm not sure of the specifics which it seems you are.


Who owns the land?  I think the club maybe now own the stadium but who owns the land around it?


Who paid for the purchase of the land and the stadium and how was it financed?


Who will be paying for the development of the land and how will it be financed?


Who will own the newly developed land and who will benefit financially?


I'm sure you'll appreciate that building things isn't free, and no longer cheap.  I'm interested to know who and how this will all be funded and who is benefitting financially in the long term?


I'd heard a rumour that the land was owned by a company owned by some of the clubs directors, not the club but it seems from what you're saying that's not the case so maybe you can clearly it up for me
