Me too!

There are some definite advantages to life in the Championship and re-visiting these grounds and destinations is one of them...

My son was born on 1996, he only remembers the glory years and the subsequent crash. So he absolutely loves this stuff and all the old stories of bricks through windows, coach getting lost after the 73 Wembley disaster etc...

We must be a similar age but young at heart of course

You must be very young. Can I assure you that you missed a lot. Back in the day, when there was no such things by and large as motorways, pretty much any away fixture was a bit of an expedition, and a whole day job, and it made matchday a fantastic adventure for a young kid. Setting off at crack of dawn for such exotic locations, sarnies and flasks packed. Then, once I was old enough to drive, it was a trip I looked forward to a lot, it's a fantastic drive, up through the Dales and Lakes, and some great stop-offs, such as the Watermill at Ing. Or if you're fearless, return via the Hard Knott and Wry Nose passes. Steep? There were goats turning back! Those were the days, and I'm not even kidding a bit. Eeeh bah gum, kids today, don't know they're born.

Haha mate, that's a pretty good guess (I'm 21). Don't forget the cost of fuel these days is pretty ridiculous!
However, your post has persuaded me to book a coach seat from the Top House. See you all there. Coach sets off at 9am so might even be able to get a decent walk in, depending on the weather. COYB.

Now [ithat's[/i the spirit!

Don't forget a decent sized hipflask. Capn Morgan Spiced Rum is always a good un or else JD

Yeah if you're a tart.

19 Man for Sunday

Adam Henry, Adam O’Brien, Adrian Purtell, Adam Sidlow, Alex Mellor, Dale Ferguson, Dan Fleming, Danny Addy, Danny Williams, Epalahame Lauaki, Etu Uaisele, Jay Pitts, Jean-Philippe Baile, Lee Gaskell, Paul Clough, Ryan Shaw, Steve Crossley, Tom Olbison, Vila Halafihi.

So it's likely Shaw back to FB then

FB: Shaw
RW: Williams
RC: Purtell
LC: Henry
LW: Uaisele
SO: Gaskell
SH: Addy
PR: Sidlow
HK: O'Brien
PR: Clough
SR: Ferguson
SR: Olbison
LF: Pitts

Subs: Lauaki, Fleming, Baile and Crossley, but the last two I'd imagine would be based on their fitness following injury

Shaw
Williams
Purtell
Henry
Uaisele
Gaskell
Addy
Sidlow
AoB
Clough
Olbison
Ferguson
Pitts

Mellor
Halafihi
Fleming
Lauaki

Not risking Crossley and not playing Baile because the current centres deserve to keep their places.

Wouldn't bother risking Crossley or JPB. Let them have a other week, send the entire squad on a weeks break/holiday, come back a week on Monday 100% fir, fresh, energized ready for the second part of the season.

Also wouldn't change the team after last weeks superb performance, think that will be the first time this year we've played the same 17 back to back.

I agree with this... Plus I think Mellor deserves to keep his spot... He is becoming a real prospect IMO

Slightly pedantic, but the 17 is different (no Mullaney)

Some think I am a tart, but I couldn't possibly comment ...
