YOU REALLY CANT WIN... Well done Bulls for doing what you did yesterday. I know people around me were moaning about not hearing scorers and sub changes, however surely we all know our players by now dont we. I would like to give Bulls a proper big up for not booking that bloke steve bailey to announce anything either because what he knows about our club and players most of us have forgotten and i can see he didnt give up his time to do it for nothing, the cheerleaders have done well above thier duties for the last few weeks so why not have a day off. Finally most of the entertaintment before the game is dross anyway, however I cant see why an up and coming band or singer wasnt invited to play there free of charge to showcase thier talents. But overall well done bulls for saving some money especially when 50% of gate receipts has to go to opposing team.

I understand the Bullette get £50 each per game. There are around 10 of them 10 x 50 = £500. If you had just pledged £400 fo a family of four would you be happy with any of it going to pay the bullettes for an early round challenge cup game. I for one would not.

It was ace like being back in the late 80's/early 90's. We even got a bit of snow while the sun was shining - it felt about 5 degrees colder in the bowl than it did at ground level as it should do.

The missus said the same, (all be it through chattering teeth), and proper banter with the Donny faithful too

I didn't realise those Tannoys still worked. Stick with them I say it reminded me of being in a foreign airport on an 80's package holiday when you haven't got a clue what the announcements are.

<CLICK> Northern! Northern! Northern! <CLICK> silence.

It almost felt as if the reason we go to Odsal is to watch rugby league. That can't be right.

Can the RFL buy us some new permanent speakers?



Other than not being able to hear announcements, I quite enjoyed the atmosphere yesterday!

I would have liked someone to have a quiet word with the poor lass reading her shopping list out (I believe she said the crowd was 3 flounders, 2 herberts and a tent) to stop saying anything.

It sounded like someone practising the banjo in next doors garage.

Actually pre-match was an improvement; I even got to speak to the guy in the next seat without screaming at each other (and [istill[/i not actually being able to hear what he was saying). I for one would be happy if this continued.....as if!!
