2016 Fixtures : Thu Oct 15, 2015 8:39 pm  

I think these are releasing on Monday? It also looks like we're playing Leigh at the summer bash this year if this is anything to go by: http://rugbyleaguetickets.co.uk/summer_bash

Apart from the fact it says 2015 on the title, thats probably about right. As always we have, we get the hardest fixture for the extra game.

4 games against Leigh next year then

4 games minimum. Could rise to 6 if we get them in cup and we both reach million pound game too.

The clubs themselves probably don't mind - our home game against Leigh last season was our biggest home attendance by some distance - but they are taking a risk by doing this in my opinion. Over saturation of certain fixtures can detract from the event itself, fans will soon get sick of playing the same teams so many times and as a result the ties will lose their appeal.

Thats good news then!

Last thing needed are low intensity games as the last season just proved..

Either way - if we don't improve the squad or the current squad doesn't improve within - then we are going nowhere..

If true, I think the clubs will be delighted. Not too sure I can stand too much of that big fat belly dancer at Leigh though.... Can we start as we mean to go on and ban him from attending Odsal You know, family audience and all that....

Bit of a blooper from the RFL on this one I think.

Bradford and Leigh had by far the greatest travelling support and without them the stadium would have been pretty much empty.

Sunday is going to be mighty quiet!!!

I tend to agree with your comments.But to be honest I think its the correct fixture for summerbash.Not sure about the 7-00pm kick off.Possibly the RFL striving to keep us all there for Sunday.
