I am there.

Me. Best way to spend valentines day tbh. Its all overrated.

At the moment me + 1 but if my car repair bill increases it's in doubt
I missed far too many away games last year including the usual trips to Wakey and Huddersfield so hopefully i'll be able to get to more this season because i do like a good away trip especially when we are as welcome John Terry at a wedding!

Pfft Valentines day, I prefer Steak and Blowjob day.

Luckily for you i'm sure loz can oblige on both!!

My thoughts also on the matter but I knew you'd express them more eloquently and without a hint of bitterness.

At least they have a recognised panel of seven now for the seven fixtures each weekend, albeit at varying levels of experience with Alibert and Child the recent additions after the loss of Klein.

I like the look of Child (what I have seen so far, which is limited) and like the fact that he has been ref'ing from a young age and not come to it after finishing a playing career at any level (and the baggage that sometimes brings). I think he is very much like Ben Thaler, likes to let the game run and often I think the players respond better if that is the case. Too much involvement can lead to the problems that Smith had with both sides getting frustrated with him and the decisions on Friday night.

I know what you mean about the back-track and of course it most certainly is by the RFL, but the part-time route (and real part time, of a couple of full days a week plus weekend game time) might be the way to go, given the fact that I don't see how we can not move to the Aussies system of 2 ref's in the next few years!

Can't. Going to New York aren't I?

Ill be going...[i'right love theres ya roses, theres a £5 for a takeaway, dont worry ill be back in time for trouser kisses'[/i.
