I can't see us getting anything from any of these games. Assuming we lose the above fixtures, I think we have to win the rest of our games, starting on Sunday against Wakefield.

Lets make sure we win on Sunday against Wakefield guys, because if we don't then the other fixtures look irrelevant IMO as we will have too many points to make up

Re: A quest for survival??? The remaining fixtures... : Fri May 30, 2014 6:31 pm  

IMHO i can only see us getting 2 wins, Wakey and London...maybe a 3rd win if Salford have a bad day,

Cant see us beating any of the other teams.
However, i have come to terms with the fact we will more than likely be relegated and am looking forward to the away days at Batley, Dewsbury, Keighley, Halifax etc

It's the miserable 2k in our cavernous stadium that really gets the mouth watering though right?

Our hardcore support in SL seems to be 5k. If we can be competitive, there's probably another 5k floating around that could be interested in watching some games.

I've no idea what our support would be like in the championship.

At the end of the kids training day yesterday, our chairman was trying to convince all the adults there to come along on Sunday.

Would the pop stand close all season?

I would have thought by default they only open the seats but for bigger games standing areas can be opened.

But you have to question just how viable odsal is going to be in sl2 at all.

It's a funny situation at the moment. I think most of us deep down know that we are going to be relegated, yet somewhere cling onto some hope that we may not be. Somehow.
At what point do we have to accept that it's all over and start thinking about next year? I suppose by the end of this next week, it may well be all over.

well you will have gathered I personally know we are relegated. I don't say that smugly, it's just for me it's not worth the heartache from pretending otherwise.

So I think about the practicalities of staying at odsal etc. I respect anyone who wants to cling on to hope for a while yet but it's not for me.

On reflection, when we were not in Super League we had crowds of about 2000, the ground was owned by the Council and therefore they did the upkeep. We are in a very different position now. Our landlords, as far as I am aware do not upkeep the ground and the charges are £72000 per year rent. In essence the Club would be saddled with large debts without doing anything. All very depressing - just hope we can keep in SL -
