Batley have a great set up, one of a decreasing number of clubs who have their own ground. Great place to watch rugby league.

The Willows was not in a state. No doubt it would have needed some investment but when we left it was certainly fit for purpose.

We are extremely lucky to have a new ground. So lucky that if we had have finished 4th we wouldn't have been able to play the game at home!!

Think a few people are going slightly OTT over this! That song is sung at almost every ground by every set of fans. Far less offensive than that the majority of the drum accompanied garbage churned out at most SL grounds!

It's my age but I get fed up with this. Irony? It's not what you use on your shirty.

I did enjoy my visit to Batley and have always. It's always good to visit a place that makes Rochdale look inhabitable.
AND that's an ironical statement.

I enjoyed your visit and found the fans I spoke to convivial and complimentary. Sadly, one particular Batley supporter did his best to tarnish our reputation by launching a disgusting and seemingly unprovoked display of aggression towards a Salford fan on the stroke of half-time. Thankfully he was restrained. The whole incident was very distressing for all those stood in the vicinity - particularly my 5 year old grandson who was absolutely terrified. I'd like to extend my apologies to the Salford fan who was targeted. I don't know the name of the supporter in question, but I hope his embarrassing behaviour is dealt with by our club.

I agree it is a song everyone sings. Not massively offensive. Just naff and I don't like it. As I say I don't remember it being a favourite in the Salford Canon so was surprised it got such and airing at Batley. Might just have not noticed us singing in the past

Won't somebody please think of the children! Give it a rest.

Anyway give me Mount Pleasant or The Willows over new stadiums any day.
