Re: Darlington v Buxton

Saw Mark Prudhoe in the bar before the game, his legs look shot. I think he was coming to check up on the Sunderland keeper, as Prud's is involved in goalkeeper coaching at Sunderland. I guess he will have had good things to say about the keeper.

Re: Rugby League

Yes a great game, I think Wigan were a bit lucky with a couple of decisions, but our defence is world class and Bevan French and Jai Field are extra special. We were lucky with a couple of decisions, that could have gone the other way. I thought Penrith were very gracious in defeat and especially Na...

Re: Boston v Darlington 20/02/24

I've spoken to a few Boston fans today and they are all surprised that we are near the bottom of the table. They thought we looked really good until they opened the scoring. Unfortunately it's not getting us points, even when we play well.

Re: Rugby League

Felt sorry for Castleford that the sending off shouldn't have happened. I think RL should adopt the same stance as Rugby Union, were there is a 10 minute period, were there is a revue and the decision is confirmed or the player returns after 10mins. Still Wigan did a professional job and rather worr...

Truro have moved from playing at Plymouth Parkway to Taunton in last couple of weeks.
Ok cheers I didn't know that. Taunton is even further away from Truro than Plymouth, for a home game that's a 240+ mile round trip, which is ridiculous. :crazy:

Looking forward to the start of the season, looks like we will be able to watch most games ? Not confident with Tigers this season and would think mid table will be an achievement, but you can only hope!

Re: Blood on hands/heads must roll

Before the next BTB, I'd like the club to confirm that the money put into the budget from other sources won't be cut. It seems that the more we put in, the money that comes from other sources and the club goes down. If we raise a record BTB, then we should have a record playing budget.

We looked for a second and we looked far more likely to score a second, than they looked to equalise. The defence was superb and TT didn't have much to do. Any neutral at the game would have thought ...

Thanks for this. We've decided to make a rare trip to a home game v Hereford. I accidentally paid for 6 return tickets (I wanted 3) that were £12. I just couldn't remove them so now we're asking our mates to be glory hunters for a day!

There was more fight in the bar, than on the pitch!! Thought we played some decent stuff, as others have said, but no luck in front of goal and we created very few real opportunities. Tamworth were very ordinary, but sometimes you just get the breaks.
