The French turn the lights off and upset Eddie, how many times have I wanted to do the same

Got back a few hours ago from Avignon. A big crowd but virtually no one paid to get in. My mate had ordered tickets in the Jean Ray tribune (the side stand you could see on the tv) only to get to the collection point to be told there was no record of our order. We were then given tickets in the main stand and ended up sat a couple of seats away from McNamara! Another couple of England fans weren't so lucky, they had also ordered tickets but were just told to go round to the other side where any onion johnny and his dog could walk in. Absolutely no stewards inside the ground, I really dread to think what would have happened if another 5000 had turned up.

As for the game, thought Chase look very lively but seemed to be trying a bit too hard, looking for a 'hollywood' pass every time. Was a bit concerned about his defending though. Heighington did some good defensive work.

Heard a couple of comments from McNamara, Tomkins was taken off for protection as they really seemed to be going for him, and JJB was taken off because he'd 'lost his head', this was just after i'd said to mate that he'd made the last three tackles! Daryl Powell was absolutely fuming about the national anthems!! I reckon there were probably about 30 England fans there in total. Hope everyone got home ok, especially the Wakey fan who was going through the entire trip without sleep.

Lol!
Lol!!! Leeds fan by any chance?

Bailey + Ablett should be nowhere near the squad let alone the team!
