I just think basically you need the best chance to get as big a crowd as possible, bear in mind a lot of our junior sides play sunday morning all over yorkshire and im sure the parents will all want to be at the game, I think 3pm is sensible although i do know of a couple of bulls fans who would have attended otherwise but all in all i would imagine it is a minority

As Dudley Hill have been magnaminous in transferring the fixture to Lawkholme then why not allow them to decide the KO time? After all, it's their 'Home' game and they need to obtain some benefit from the fixture!



There's not going to be any need for the lights, so what's the problem?



Will anyone from the Club in an official capacity explain?

I think "thepimp007" has already answered.

Apologies 'Dreamer', but has he? 'thepimp007' said:







That's why I said that it would be nice to hear from someone giving the reasons .....



If there's no-one willing to offer an explanation then let some of the DH supporters air their preferences (please).

The reasons he said i meantioned were most of our numerous junior teams playing sunday morning we need the support of these people, regards the bulls game we have many bulls season ticket holders who are missing the game to come to cougar park so should be a few

I think you'll find that I said that.



I was simply suggesting that he had put forward some valid reasons, from a Dudley Hill perspective, why the game time had been chosen.



I spoke to someone last night who said the Bulls had been approached regards a Friday night game and refused. I don't know how valid that is.

From the Cougars' website - in case anyone has missed it:







Thanks to Dudley Hill for this offer. Let's hope that a decent crowd turns-up to support their team.

Anyone getting nervous yet

I'm bricking it!



Should be alright come half past 2 on Sunday when I've had a pie, sunk 2 pints, and we're 36-0 up.

Ha Ha unless were 10-0 up then panic will set in, only kidding im just really looking forward to the day out, anyone any news on Matt Parata heard he is back in Oz

Salford are taking a interest in him, J.D. says its onley hearsay,, they havnt aproached anyone,,

He went back last week. not sure when he's coming back.



If his performances in the NRC were anything to by I would have stuck a fair few quid on him scoring 4 or 5 tries against you. Really quick and powerful and takes a hell of a lot of stopping as Rochdale found out.
