That's more like it.

Absolutely yes, well I think so, maybe, could have done weeks ago, or definately next week, unless he doesn't or hasn't and will or won't or can or can't.

That should have cleared it up.

Oh, the Keighley game you mean? OK, so we occasionally give the attendance as being less than it actually is but we are only trying to minimise FCHT's humiliation.

I was actually on about the 4,500 one the other season. Was that to try and maximise FCHT's humiliation?

Re: Penkywicz denies penning Leigh deal : Wed Sep 12, 2012 5:12 pm  

there were more than 1200 there vs Keighley - fact.

Re: Penkywicz denies penning Leigh deal : Wed Sep 12, 2012 5:38 pm  

Unless you counted us all, stating "fact" is a little rash! I was a little surprised at the number, but it was a very poor crowd for a play-off game.

Surely, being on TV doesn't have the same effect now? I've subscribed to Premier, but I think there'll only be a handful of Fax fans that wouldn't have turned up and watched it on TV instead? You have to be a real RL fan to subscribe to Premier (unless Conference footie or NHL is for you!), and why would you miss a live game if you could make it? TV is a poor alternative, but great for watching the match again (usually only if we've won!), or for away games that you can't make. Plus, looking at the "incidents" to see if the ref got it right (which he did more against Keighley than certainly I thought he did watching at the Shay!).

I would say that 1200 against Keighley was a pretty fair assessment and i certainly dont think there was anything sinister in that figure. Its a quick turn around from the previous Sunday and people might well have already made plans. I think originally it was gonna be the Sheffield v Batley game for the Thursday night but that was obviously changed, maybe some fans anticipated at that time that we were gonna play Keighley on the Sunday should we beat Batley . Plus Keighley only brought about 30 fans which doesnt help.

Back to Penky. I am not taking side on the ongoing debate but I do not think Penky has signed anything at Leigh. That's not to say he hasn't told Leigh he will go, but, why would he want to announce he is leaving to a team we may play next week. As soon as either us or Leigh are out, Penky will announce.
Lets not forget, only weeks ago we were told that Sam was going elsewhere and that his sponsor knew. Didn't happen and talking to a director we are still hopeful Penky will stay.

His sponsor was always fully aware of where he was at with the club and outside offers!

Not falling out, someone posted, look back, that his sponsor knew he was going.
Don't shout at me either.
