Aye nothing a good bar of soap wouldn't fix.

And it's well worn and over-crowded.

This is a must win game - hopefully the distraction of the CC semi will not get in the way

You'll be lucky

Now that's more like it ..I could live with that.

Can someone tell me the best way to get to Salford's ground if going by train / buses please?

The only time Leeds visited the Willows in the 1987-88 season was for the run of the mill League game (6th March 198icon_cool.gif which ended in a 10-14 loss. Quite a reversal of fortunes given Leeds had won the corresponding fixture at Headingley 60-6 some thirteen rounds earlier.

For the game from 88-89 where Gibson bagged a brace, no mention of an intercept score in either the YP or YEP match reports but the game was notable as the venue for the 1st grade RL debut of John Bentley and Sam Backo playing the full seventy minutes - could have been the full eighty but for his spell in the sin-bin..

Carl Gibson has one claim to fame at the Willows as the only points scorer in a Challenge Cup 1st round tie from February '87.

Flying Scotty
If you arrive at Victoria rail station get the Metrolink going towards Eccles and get off at the Weaste stop.If you arrive at Piccadilly again it's the Metrolink to Eccles get off at Weaste
wouldn't bother with the bus if you are intending to return to Manchester after the game tram is much quicker

4-0? I seem to remember being there.

Bloomin' heck, it must have been that one. Thinking about it now, we did go to that one, our only away game that year, and then we went to every one from the next season on.

The game you mention where Bentley made his debut was on Scrumdown I think. I recall Ray Ashton getting picked out by David Watkins before the game for his 'coach's notes' as one to watch. Oddly, Ray got MoM (IIRC). How lucky was it that David picked him out?

Webb
Jones-Bishop
Smith
Watkins
Hall

Buderus
Peacock

Ablett

Leuluai

Clarkson

get the train to Piccadilly - there is no direct Metrolink to Weaste from Victoria.

Should be a close game this evening, your lads might have one eye on next weeks CC semi final game. And with the Reds having a new coach and all that. Should be a good game.

Fixed idiotic typo.

BTW, here is the response I received from the ticket office when I queried the ticket priceThank you for getting in touch.



The tickets that we have been sent through by Salford were all at full price (£20), your e-mail was the first we knew of Salford over-charging our fans. We have since been in touch with Salford, and the RFL are also involved regarding this issue – as you can imagine we are pretty upset/disgusted with this as it does not seem fair to offer an advance price for one set of supporters but not the other.



We are hoping that once the issue has been resolved that we will be able to honour the £2 refund on your tickets.[/i

I'll keep you abreast of any developments.

Haha,

Breast.
