Will Big Eddy and Degsy be able to remember the game come Sunday morning ? Will both results fall the right way ? Could this upset the Blackpool based power house ???? Only Saturday night will we know the answers !

They're from Lytham St Annes ! That's like saying that Caldy are Liverpool based  (Perish the thought) 1. Understood 2. Hostile comment was based on the conditions ...... last time I went, you could not have a fire on in fear of setting fire to the wooden club house ...... brrrrrrrrrrrr (the company and Degsy's hip flask kept me warm) 3. Can you please explain the last time Caldy came to play Tigers, the lack of hub caps left on vehicles in our car park ....... surely Caldy is in Liverpool ??????????????????? TD2

 

Ps wirral is in Merseyside, however please do not call them scousers the corect term is wirral wools. Thanks for your cooperation in this matter.

Nick Royle's record is even more amazing if you add the number of tries he has scored . He has played in 336 National league and EDF Cup games and scored 282 tries, with 21 hat tricks or more the most tries in one game was 7. He is already by far the leading try scorer of all time in National leagues and with just 18 more tries to make 300 I believe that his record will never be broken.

Some of these games have been terrific and very close. 2017-18 Caldy 37-19 Fylde  Fylde 9-34 Caldy  2010-11 Caldy 20-25 Fylde  Fylde 55-29 Caldy 2009-10 Caldy 21-27 Fylde  Fylde 25-28 Caldy  2008-9 Caldy 33-23 Fylde  Fylde 23-22 Caldy  2007-8 Fylde 11-9 Caldy  Caldy 22-7 Fylde  Only one player has played extensively for both clubs, the amazing Nick Royle. He's made 325 National League appearances including 7 seasons at Fylde, in his 6th at Caldy (plus 2 seasons in North Premier at Vale of Lune), numerous representative games for Lancashire, England Counties, Widnes RL and, of course many appearances for England 7s. And throughout these 17 seasons he's scored heavily at every level. His durability is extraordinary and I see that he's missed just four games in 5 and a bit campaigns at Paton Field.    I'm sure a decent number of Fylde supporters will make the trip to the windy hill and I hope the game lives up to the billing. Likely to be close once again.

 

Be interesting to know how much Nick Royle has earned over his 336 games!!  Probably more than playing 5 seasons in the Championship as a full time pro!
