Official Match Thread - Swinton v Eagles : Thu Feb 20, 2014 11:55 am  

This Sunday, 3pm at Leigh Sports Village.

Hopefully the weather is kind and we finally get to see some rugby on Sunday. Swinton will struggle this season but once again the whole of the Warrington squad has been dual-registered, so you never quite know who you'll be up against.

Swinton 16-32 Eagles

Att: 450

Except those with work permit issues, I hope.

The pitch at the LSV is in perfect state , Charlie thinks you will win the game around a score of Swinton 16 v Seagulls 40 , I have been known to be wrong at times , but I think its going to be a long hard season for the Lions .

You never know who you may face
but you will be playing a Swinton team this season built on miracles and shoe strings
maybe we could bang on about your plethora of exotic players signed on using money from where?
We get decent players signed on and they end up at Sheffield like Armstrong or Leigh like Sarsfield or Warrington like Penny
we simply cannot win

anyway have a safe journey and heres to a great game
lets hope your three"season long loanees" do ok......

Anyone know what admission price is likely to be and whether there's a student rate? I might go,

I wasn't banging on about anything but I'm more than happy to. Your club is continuing to be taken for a ride, and as a loyal Swinton fan of many years, it must pain you to see it. Just hope you don't have the farce of the likes of Briers/Morley turning out for one game and the players that do represent you do it for the right reasons and are readily available most weeks.

Tom Armstrong hasn't "ended up" at Sheffield.

Just saying.

£15 I think, not sure if there is a student rate though

We put up a very good performance at Halifax with our " shoe string" team adversity sometimes brings the best out in people and teams.
