It’s the Championship’s big weekend.
That’s because it is of course the Summer Bash.
The event that started at Blackpool some years ago moved over to Leeds Rhinos’ Headingley last year and is now set to be held at York RLFC’s LNER Stadium today and tomorrow.
Barrow Raiders are taking on Cumbrian rivals Whitehaven.
However, as Barrow made their way over to York they had a problem with their tyre.

The squad and coaches have subsequently been left stranded on the roadside.
Not ideal by any means but it has resulted in some hilarious content from the Barrow media team as the players get board on the road side.

The Raiders will hope to get to the ground as soon as possible and hope to put one over on Whitehaven in York later today.
The game is scheduled to kick off at 15:00 this afternoon.
As of yet there has been no suggestion of postponement.
