IIRC, it is not 'that' far and Newport is not the 'biggest' place I've ever been to ....

And none of them worth going into!

When you get to the station on the way turn left as you come out of the station and follow the road , cross the roundabout (by the castle) and keep walking, taking the right turn at the Cenetaph (sp?). the ground is about 100 yards on the right.

The supporters club in the ground used to be ok in the old days. Other than that, for drinking it's the usual Lloyds, Weatherspoons etc just ouside the train station.

If you are taking the car it's a bit like Headingley - no bloody parking!

When we went on the club trips to Wembley it was always our rule we wouldn't drink until the YP building!

These days, on the train, we always leave it until Wakefield. Getting old and all that!

Ablett is definately out for this match but bailey may return.

Can anyone tell me why Kallum Watkins hasn't played for the first team in a while? Saw him playing for the academy last week (he was named in the squad but obviously dropped).

Probably because Leeds have more consistent performers available in his position at the moment.

Watkins needs to be patient and keep developing physically and mentally. His time will come.

Look at Ratu, he's had to wait until he's 22 to get a run of games and he's taking his opportunity now.

Spot on TVOC!

He is young and learning. Players in the squad are more consistant and more experienced than he is. Had alot of game time this season imo, and played really well. I think he could be in the squad this weekend.

Correct TVOC.

Ratu has deserved the chance that he is getting now, and last weekend his try was the best part of the game imo, due to the fact that hes been waiting along time to break into the squad and now showing that he deserves a place.
