Batley @ Wembley. : Tue Aug 08, 2023 9:46 am  

Onto Wembley we go after a decent win last weekend. Who's going? What's your plans? What team would you pick? After Sunday evening i think i might change my mind about JWH. After saying all season we should put him, as the Championships best fullback, in that position the Fev game has possibly changed my mind. He was absolutely outstanding against Fev at half back and deservedly won the MOM award. The reason for changing that though, has got to be Pickersgill. After a couple of very good displays he was fantastic at fullback on Sunday. It would be a bit strange to change after displays like that, perhaps SG knows better than me lol! Whatever team Simon picks I'm confident they will do theirselves and Fax proud. We are setting off early as on Saturday and getting to London to meet up with a few Fax fans for a wander around some classic London pubs. Onto Wembley and hopefully a few celebratory drinks after the match before staying in Borehamwood on Saturday night. Cannot wait. Up The Fax!

5 from my side, 4 on the coach and 1 linking up from London with his other half and kids going to Harry Potter land.

Hope a few Leigh and KR fans stay behind to watch our game. Will be quite embarrassing to see an empty stadium. Also hope we do make quite a bit of money. How much are the sponsors paying into this cup? Never heard of AB Sundecks. But I'd like to think Fax will receive a slice of the total gate receipts which "should" make us a few grand on the day?

And so it is! Should have checked it out. Not doing too badly either. Last accounts on Companies House show its assets nearly £9 million making nearly £3 million profit for the year.

Can you record a programme if it's on BBC iPlayer?

Re: Batley @ Wembley. : Tue Aug 08, 2023 3:22 pm  

Going on the day and i wish i could sit through all the games but i will just be watching the fax game saving the best while last. Team wise for me Fairbank would come in for Larroyer and Mcomb for Crooks other then that stick with the team from last week. I can see this being a close back and forth game and just as long as we are the winners i do not care how.
