Hard fought but with French and Field, Wigan always had the edge. Leigh never really looked like scoring a try 2nd half.

CleggHall

Tony you’re a saint writing reports of City matches!

CleggHall

Have watched a lot of rugby league starting off with Rochdale Hornets as a kid. Rugby Union up here first with Gosforth then Newcastle Falcons. Last night’s Leeds v St Helens had an exciting finish but several questionable refereeing decisions. Jake Connor a nasty piece of work!

CleggHall

Yes Bairstow a major disappointment.
All credit to Chilton who dumped Benkenstein who was a poor appointment, they did much better under Croft but both Lancs and Yorks did not perform although international calls took away their best players.

CleggHall

A disgraceful performance 1st half, improvement 2nd, Hannibal and Flemming up for it but not many others.

CleggHall

A strong squad, good idea to remove Pope from vice-captain.

CleggHall

A powerful, passionate piece slamming Liverpool’s entitled fans.Burnley have a right to set up defensively to thwart and contain their expensive opponents. Parker’s men very nearly pulled it off, Liverpool were unimpressive, lacking in ideas and failed to match the hype surrounding them. Mike’s colo...

Losing twice to late penalties, correct decisions but why do we feel so bad?

CleggHall

The ECB has deliberately wrecked County cricket and Test cricket will follow if we are not careful

CleggHall

It’s nice that board members wish to share personal family memories and tributes on uptheclarets, it shows what a caring community we are.

CleggHall

But how did England lose the series?!

CleggHall

A mistake not to pick a 5th bowler like Overson or Sam Curran.

CleggHall

A good base in County cricket is required before tossing into the International arena - Bethell and Baker need another 12 months before selection.

CleggHall

Agree with all this, non-openable packaging is far too common these days but don’t get me started on tinned corn beef!

CleggHall

A hard-hitting, angry broadside against Man Utd and their beneficial treatment by refs, var and the media. We could all see that penalty coming, partly Jaidon’s fault but also a clear dive. C’est la vie!

CleggHall

Will never forget how he took Sunderland apart 2nd half in 4-2 victory away.

CleggHall

Agreed a good one but could do with shipping a few more “non contributors” out.

CleggHall

A good report on a disappointing day but why a game of two halves?

CleggHall

Watched final few overs on youtube, crowd was 3 men and no dogs from camera angle, hopefully many more near pavilion?

CleggHall

It’s amazing the movement of players in and out of the club over the past 4 years, I don’t imagine that we have ever seen such volumes traded at other times in the club’s history.

CleggHall

Many thanks Tony, well worth reading a second time by everybody, a fine tribute to Mac.

CleggHall

Great player, most skilful, strong and tough, lovely man.
Finest Claret I was lucky to watch and cannot forgive Bob Lord for brutally scything him down.
RIP Jimmy Mac.

CleggHall

Well done all 4, most deserved and a pity that 3 seek pastures new!

CleggHall

A balanced, reflective report - many thanks.
Presages a difficult, painful season ahead but keep the faith.

CleggHall

A good detailed report on the whole day’s experience but did the fiancée like it?!

CleggHall

Spotland or Willbutts Lane grand old ground, up the Dale!

CleggHall

An excellent signing, experienced and a very fair price.

CleggHall

The Guardian in its season’s preview has us finishing 20th - what do they know?

CleggHall

Poor selection, Bethell and Overton have not played red ball cricket this year and it shows!

CleggHall

Yes another one caught in Bob Lord’s crossfire.
A tidy player, glad he has reached a ripe old age.

CleggHall

Hat trick at White Hart Lane in 4-3 defeat in the 1960s lives in my memory, RIP Willie.

CleggHall

A bit harsh on Walker, a 90+ England cap man who could prove a very good signing. West Auckland World Cup win is much celebrated in the north east. Agree that we have had a decent transfer session so far but fully agree with your views on the differences between clubs spending over £50 million on on...

CleggHall

Saved a few in the penalty shoot out at SJP in League Cup tie, Charlie Taylor clinched the tie for us.
Hennessey has had a decent career.

CleggHall

Yes a nice turnaround, responsible batting from Smith and Brook, a long way to go though.

CleggHall

No nothing on Langer’s dossier, what did it say about Jimmy?

CleggHall

Yes he obviously likes Broad particularly his blue eyes!
I jest not.

CleggHall

Just read this, outstanding cricketer but riddled with self doubt. Upset with enforced England retirement given to him in Manchester pub by Stokes, Key and Baz, truanting from St Teds, roughing up adult batsmen in Burnley nets, Lancs and England dressing rooms. Much technical stuff on fast bowling, ...

CleggHall

Brook a very lucky boy, caught off a no ball in the last over, irresponsible youth!

CleggHall

…..goodbye, cheerio, see you!

CleggHall

Yes nice analogy Tony, anyone would like Boston and Douglas on their side.

CleggHall

Finally knighted at the palace today, some 40 years too late. Discriminated against in Cardiff so moved to Wigan and rugby league. Prolific try scorer, unstoppable on his day, I saw a linesman break his leg avoiding Billy at Rochdale Hornets. A supreme gentleman arise Sir Billy.

CleggHall

A pity that WIndies always fall short, was at Riverside on Friday where it was a similar story. England bat well down the order but the bowling is average and we are being flattered by the opposition.

CleggHall

A pity, nice guy but after a good 1st year Boro’s results just not good enough.

CleggHall

Clive rattled the roof tiles of a house adjacent to one of Kent’s out grounds in the 70s, occupant woman refused to return the balls until he was out!

CleggHall

Pulled a stump out of the ground and smacked Ces Abrahams over the head with it during a Central Lancs League game and he branded his wife with a hot iron. The stump incident was against Leslie Warburton at Littleboro (I was there) but there may have been others. A fiery little bowler, a firecracke...

CleggHall

This will kill international cricket, first Zimbabwe then the West Indies, glad I didn’t pay.
India should give us a game however.

CleggHall

A good article but a sorry story, cricket is less important at Old Trafford which has seemingly become a concert venue and hotel business.

CleggHall

Wrote 1960s book “The rise of Gerry Logan”, football book loosely based on Gerry Hitchens, a decent read.

CleggHall

Old school in most respects, a fine obituary writer and long time goalie for Corinthian Casuals. RIP

CleggHall

Eddie Howe simply a nice guy, I had pneumonia and was treated in the RVI last year, an excellent hospital.
