Does not bother me in the slightest not having a Boxing Day fixture.



If Leeds fans get to see their Academy side (with a smattering of first teamers) play Wakefield good luck to them.

we will struggle to get the 2 friendly fixtures in january played at this rate.

We will be luck to see the season KO on time at this rate

When i need a RL fix I generally turn to the 2005 CC semi against saints followed by the final...........still shout at the ref

I save all the NRL fixtures up through the season and treat myself to them over the winter period.

i must admit that i used to miss the festive games when we 1st went to summer rugby but not anymore, the craven park friendly a few years ago made me wonder how we did it for all those years, i still get my winter rugby by watching my son play and they often provide better entertainment than the pro's

. i have never really been too bothered about friendlies ( glorified training sessions). i think if your going to play rugby there may aswell be something riding on it, i would get rid of the friendlies and replace them with the county cups.

Only teams that have their own ground are able to host a Christmas fixture. Any attempt nowadays by minor tenants such as FC to play one one at a football ground will be vetoed, just as their home preseason friendlies were.

You will be telling us next that Hull City have been allowed to train on the KC pitch during the cold snap but Hull FC havnt...

hmmm... interesting...





Not sure it's feasible though, and clubs that go out in the first round would still want more game time I reckon.

As with all your other posts, complete bollox.

It's the football season.

How come Rovers have one then?
