That was me Maurice I was using a cash machine at Barclays and supping a bottle of wine. Someone must have thought it was a trumpet in my mouth.

Well the full fixtures are out. Salford away Gf and Hull Fc easter Monday.

Sky ruined some derby's. Warrington on A Thursday night!

Let's hope we have something to play for when the Crustmunchers come to Town!

Bongser has had his head (h)in his hands for around 30 hours. What a baptism of fire that fixture list presents. The Dream has become a reality, sadly the reality ain't gonna be a dream. Jukesy has to get the team up for the first four matches (if matches they prove to be!) If Leythe pick up a point or two, great. If not, NJ needs to keep heads up, belief up - and start picking the odd couple of points up.

This is a different coach from the one that couldn't do the above in the 2015 Middle 8s. The fans have to do their bit too, be there an early season trammelling.

Go Leythe!

I could be wrong but I seem to recall a press release saying we had chosen Saturdays to minimise disruption if fixtures are changed for TV, although that wouldn't really help if they are changed to Thursday or Friday.

Personally I prefer Saturday fixtures anyway

Cheers Leyther.

Not bad season ticket prices as well looking at that article.

Cheers. Only three home games on Saturdays though. I guess that's a welcome to the world of Sky, for us! Looking forward to our games against 'Classy Cas' next season.
