id like us to take a decent following over to leigh, there can't be many excuses not too. Not on TV, playing some of our best rugby in ages, decent kick off time.

Unfortunately the community game is played on Saturday's (hence the reason that most SL KO used to be Friday/Sunday as an agreement to help the community game) with our open age KO at 2:30 the game won't be done until after 4 making it pretty tight to get over there for 6pm so unlikely I'll be there with my lads, but would have love to have gone as I really like the LSV and we have a pretty good record on that pitch (P3 W2 L1)

This is the problem with Saturday matches, anyone who is involved with any community sport will be unable to go, myself included. Sunday 3pm is a far better time!

I have a feeling that Sunday matches are going to be a thing of the past, lots of clubs prefer Fri/Sat games so we're at a disadvantage with a shorter turn around

Thursday night games in particular should be abolished.
I understand that Leeds have very good corporate attendances for Friday games and prefer them rather than Sundays.
Huddersfield have a couple of days extra rest this week after featuring twice on sky. .
The tragic weekend does nothing for the continuity of the game but provides to many fans a get together and a weekend away.
The whole sport needs a shake up and a more even playing field.
While ever the present format exists many games are meaningless.

Re: Leigh away : Thu May 04, 2017 2:44 pm  

2 of us going and looking forward to it.

Having games on different days can be a right pain in the backside, especially games on "the darkside" on Friday evenings.
However, working around the needs of Sky, something we have very little choice with, each club has to decide what is best for them and with most Sky games being on Fridays (with some Thursday games), it's little wonder that most clubs have moved to Friday nights, as it's far less disruptive.
At least that wat, clubs are only playing on Friday or occasional Thursday (not counting Magic weekend and the Easter games) and apparently, Fridays are very good for the corporate stuff.

Moch as we all like a moan, there is no point.
Sky call the tune and we have to dance.

Leigh may have targeted us but, dont you think that they will have been near the top of Chester's list of "must win games"..
I'd rather be a Trinity fan than a Leigh fan
Wakefield have won 6 from 12, Leigh 3 from 12 and they haven't won since 16 march.

Of course they will be up for it but, Trinity will want to do the business and if we get off to anything like a good start, the 2 points should be coming back to Yorkshire.

Come on Trin !

I think this is an important game for us, but I do think Chester will have targetted this one too.

Think if we start well and dont switch off, like we have had a tendency to do so we should be ok.

Strong squad with Toops back, but Arundel kick started the comeback last week with that break. A good position to be in.
