Always seeing the negatives in a positive story. Vintage.

it would not be RL fans without it.

Thats pretty much what I'm doing.

It just smacks of a bit of a publicity stunt to me, or just another example of 'lets give free stuff to the blokes in the Army because they are...ummm... well ..in the Army'

And of course the cynic in me might think that it's because there are rather a lot of tickets left over anyway.

...nah, you're just being a c()nt

How many members of the Armed forces have gave there lives for this country since the start of the year and how many have all the other emergency services in the whole of the previous year? Phipps your being a d11ck.

It has always gone on I got a ticket for an FA cup final involving spurs once and gave them away to a spurs fan, made his day.

I remember Wimbledon seats being touted around the barrack blocks once or twice and of course RU used to host games at Twickers for the forces with thousands in attendance.

The annual Army and Navy match still goes on at Twickers and is rammed with members of the armed forces. Fantastic day out and my whole ship would get involved and we'd take 2 or 3 coach loads.

Next year make it an Army v Navy opener on the Saturday.

Allows the 14 SL clubs to play as normal but evens up the number
of matches each day.

Massive publicity, and it becomes RL version of the forces game at Twickenham.

A pritty decent shout that
