Yes, it would be nice to know if we intend to fulfill this fixture before I drive halfway across the country.

Is there really a risk that a national league 3 club will not be able to raise a side to fulfil the first league fixture of the season?

I think there's no doubt Loo will put a team together. What I don't get, and this will probably be the frustration of members and players of the club, is the turnaround from recent seasons. From the outside JLO has done a great job over the last few seasons to turn with respect a club clinging on to life at level 5 to one knocking on the door of level 4. It seems a crazy reverse of a situation from the end of last season to a few months later Loo trawling the north west this week for second/third XV players. Does not seem like a great plan or strategy to move things on from JLOs teams performances. I hope I'm wrong and Mr Turner has a cunning plan. It would be a great shame if Loo end up at level 6 out of the national leagues at the end of the season just 30 seasons on from being in the very top structure.

Good luck to all at Loo and here's to a great season ahead.

The Jlo thing has been flogged to death. Rightly or wrongly, he's gone, let's get on & support the new man, new team, new circumstances...we'll be OK. Just to pull up "the shadow" regarding second XV players....nothing has changed there, for the most part Jlo found players from 2nds & lower leagues & helped them show others what exactly they could do, one man's trash etc... I expect a strong performance on Sat afternoon, I think the lack of game time together will be their only problem...oh & phoenix of course. COYGB

£75 a game?

Loo F - appreciate the JLo thing has been flogged to death and the club has to move on but what exactly is the ambition? It appears the club will simply saitisfied with survival this season. Going into yesterday's game, there was discussion that we may not be able to field a team at Doncaster. I understand that the third team also had to concede their first fixture of the season this follows the 4th team being disbanded over the summer. From a 3rd place finish last season with a strong squad for the league, the club appear to be lacking any ambition. How the once mighty have fallen - we are now recruiting 6th choice props from Caldy!!
