getting hte train from newcastle, first of the day at about 6 in the morning, woooo

One things for sure.. The financial problems which prevented half our fans from attending against Saints and Hull at home in the playoffs will simply melt away this week. Amazing.

Me and the missus are flying in from Brussels Friday night, coming back Sunday afternoon.

Had the flights booked for a while, wondered if I hadn't tempted fate after the first Saints game.

My husband and daughter (Mick & Joel's father & sister) are flying from Australia Thursday and returning Tuesday. A win will make the long trip worth while.. .

Good luck team and boys. (Mick & Joel's mum Mary)

He's racking up the air miles this year.

So pleased that their Dad & Sister are coming over. Hope they can make the trip exceptional as the last trip in August. Your husband must be getting used to coming over here. You must be so proud of your boys, we are.

Yep, that's me. Getting flights on a week-by-week basis is a bit much in terms of effort and cost, but I will be going to this one.

I will hand my 'true fan' badge in.

Was saying to my mate last night it would be brilliant for the Monaghan family for both brothers to win a championship together. Growing up obviously they would have wanted to win the NRL final, and Joel may well do it in future as sadly I doubt he'll spend the rest of his career with us, but what an opportunity for both to do it together in Super League.

Fingers crossed.

I will be driving up to wire on Friday night...nerves will kick in on Saturday morning! Will catch the train in to Manchester in the afternoon.

I'll be getting the train over from Hull on Friday night. It feels like my life is spent travelling at First Transpennine 'Express's pleasure!

Will be back Saturday afternoon. Supposed to be heavy on the ale Friday night so could be interesting.
