After 19 long days we are back (in a fashion). There will be continued work to do in the background and will keep you updated over the coming days. There are definitely still lots of gremlins but we will gradually get on top of them. All member logins have been rescued.

Big thanks to Steve Bott for recreating the board format and a huge thanks to the Ops manager at Silver Royd for working, for hours, on the database reconstruction in the latest format. We had some input from developers in the USA, UK and India but most of it was the hard work of the Ops manager and AI.

Hopefully we will iron out any issues over the coming weeks but for now:

Have fun...

Thanks

Great to be back. Thanks for the hard work BRB, I was starting to get withdrawal symptoms.

Well, we have had one hell of a period away from the forum in Regional 1 NE.
From a Driffield perspective we had a very tight game with Huddersfield, yet another game that they have let the victory slip them by.

Scunthorpe with a couple of slip ups but bouncing back away at Ilkley to keep a grip on 1st place.
Huddersfield with a couple of tight victories at home to maintain pressure.

York showing signs of a squad with nothing to play for, whilst Heath who are arguably the inform side in the league waiting to pounce if Huddersfield and Scunthorpe completely fall apart.

At the bottom...

Well, let's start with Blaydon, transfer deadline day must have been a very busy period in Newcastle, with the new names on the team sheet over the last couple of games getting them a vital win against Ilkley.

Percy Park with a bonus point loss away at York and a dominant performance against a collapsing Sandal gives them hope, but will it be enough to battle the big spending Blaydon?

Selby with a good victory against Sandal and a tough loss against Heath are showing signs they have got to grips with the league, but to little to late?

We have a massive final 4 games of the season to come. Blaydon to play both Percy Park and Selby, Selby with an incredibly tough final 4 games, and Percy Park to travel with Cleckheaton and Driffield, with Huddersfield at home its also not an easy run. This weekend will tell us if Sandal, Ilkley and Driffield really need to start to worry.
 
With Scunthorpe arguably having the easier run to promotion they must be favourites, but baring Heath I'm not sure Huddersfield have any big tests left so will maintain pressure.
 
Finally seen that Tom Hainsworth at Cleckheaton has picked up an injury (assuming serious from the Cleckheaton socials) would like to wish a speedy recovery to arguably the best centre in the league.

For some reason I am still having difficulty accessing the forum from my mobile, keeps bringing up maintenance news page and nothing else. Without doubt will be user incapable or similar...

Are you googling or clicking on a saved link? I had the site link saved as a favourite/bookmark and it would still come up with the maintenance page. I deleted the old one and put a new one in, that sorted it. Had to do it on phone and laptop.
