Thaler did the controversial Batley draw. Hmm, that'll do this time!

I'm sure he did another game recently but I actually can't remember which it was.

I believe they're actually both on the same side. They added a second stand to the same side as the previous one. (To the left of where our fans were stood last year, and opposite side to where you enter).

I don't believe it means behind the sticks where we were last season.

Not 100% sure on that though, I'm sure a friendly Fev fan will confirm one way or t'other.

Thaler was ref in mpg last year and at home this year to Sheffield. We don't have a good win rate recently when he's in charge

Re: Fev Game : Tue Jul 19, 2016 12:05 pm  

Ref win rate?

Probably more to do with the Bulls playing poorly that day. That includes the Batley game.

Thaler is a good ref - he'll do for me.

As mentioned up the board he's a regular SL ref, so hopefully will ref it to SL specifications, whilst I know the rules are the same in every division, we all know they're not. Let's hope we haven't 'gone native' and give him any excuses to 'ping' us for anything daft. Which, I know, is a bit like expecting nice weather in summer..

Re: Fev Game : Tue Jul 19, 2016 12:38 pm  

Happy with the appointment of Thaler, regardless of previous win rates while he's been in charge. This match is hugely important for both clubs and so I'm happy a Super League ref is taking the game.

I'm unsure about Gaskell. He and Chisholm as a partnership could be devastating, but Gaskell hasn't played for a long time now and I'm not sure if he'd be fit enough and sharp enough for a game that is likely to be very intense right from the start.

Re: Fev Game : Tue Jul 19, 2016 12:49 pm  

If Gaskell is fit then we must play him at some point to try and get him fit again.
If we make it to the play offs we need to beat the three Ch. teams to get into the MPG.
If we did that and we ended up playing say HKR I would like a fully fit Gaskell and Chisholm at halves. He needs to play at some point. We would have beaten Leigh each time with Gaskell and Chisholm so for me he needs to be picked if fit.

Yes it's the new stands, and all I'd say is given the cost will still only be £20 I think Bradford fans would be on very slippery ground if they start trying to lecture other teams on "cashing in" given Bradford themselves have been happy to charge SL prices for Championship rugby.

Does that include the one behind the sticks that we were in last year then?

Incidentally, I won't argue with people criticising Bradford's prices. I myself have done it on more than one occasion this year (as an away fan, I wouldn't pay our prices). But charging people £2 extra because it's a bumper crowd is still taking the wee wee, even if our club also charges too much. Two wrongs do not make a right. It's also cheeky to put this out AFTER many people have bought tickets expecting to sit there.
