The official record is "Richard Rodriguez (USA) rode the Pepsi Max Big One and Big Dipper roller coasters at Pleasure Beach, Blackpool, UK for 405 hr 40 min from 27 July to 13 August 2007." Compared to our 8 weeks this is pathetic. I think we should get in touch with Guinness Records

When I was at school and the football team was picked you always got a few left at the end that neither captain wanted and yes, I was one of them. Well, those kids have grown up and will be playing rugby for the Bulls this season. There's always hope if you hang on in there no matter how bad you are.

Talk of having a budget of £400k this year makes me smile. That first season with Ferrett and Jimmy we spent at least that amount on players that couldn't get into the team - some didn't actually get a game as I remember. Oh, times have changed. Happy days when we had (didn't) have money to spend on players we didn't want.

A quick run through this thread to find out what was said at press conference and it appears there hasn't been one and there isn't likely to be one today.

Good start to the new regime, following off where the last one left us, in the dark knowing f all.

Hilarious. I once joined a Shipley training session as a young slip of a lad, tagging along with one of the Whitehead brothers. Got thoroughly battered. Great fun.

As I recall the touch and pass sessions remained just that, for all of one set...As you say great fun, except for the Peel Park runs...

Now come on! Shipley had a smattering of die hards down at Peel Park that still turned up to come come thrashings, dog poop, locel eejits walking across the field whilst the game was on... we need to turn up to protest!

Seem to remember you following home AND away. Glutton for it..... some things don't change obviously

Haha - indeed they did! I was one of em myself for a while. You forgot to mention short tempered coaches who had a tendency to throw things when we lost.

My career was short but included the dizzying heights of beating Windhill on their paddock in THE derby and the lows of being smashed by Dodworth A and getting utterly battered up at Siddal... but the coach was always a proper gent!

First Shipley, and now with no press conference forthcoming, Bradford. I think I'll follow the Rhino's and see if I can jinx them out of existence...

If we all turn up it's a sure thing. Can we go to Halifax and Wakefield too?

Don't know that I want them out of business that much I have to actually go there...
