Following a re-read, I see your point. Some evenings, Charles, when the muse is with me (last night in the form of eight bottles of Abbot Reserve), I have been known to stretch the bootyful girdle of our Mother tongue beyond its knicker-elastic limit. Deep joy, messmate.

I'm sure you were probably going to be at them anyway Frank, but give the lads an extra cheer for me. I will be yelling at the tele as usual but despite what my wife says I doubt it will be quite loud enough to be heard on the pitch

Agreed, and I'm sure the lads are focused on winning this weekend and making it 4 from 4 before we beat Hudds

| Wish that I had your confidence, VL. This fortnight break has been a killer. Roll on Saturday, after which we'll be better placed to judge where we stand. Then and only then can the topic of Hudds be discussed with any real zeal. First things first. KR will be a real tester.

| We have 3 possibly 4 million pound games. Hopefully we will be well rested and ready to go this weekend and deliver the goods.

Have to agree with that.

In truth I'm not confident that we will beat HKR or Hudds, but I am confident that the lads/coaches and club are aiming for nothing less than that. As a fan I can ask no more.

Saying that, we've taken good numbers to both Salford and Batley so we might scrape 400 after all.
And your backing might well be large, but it won't be noisy once we start rattling the points up
There are some fans who just don't bother and others who genuinely cannot attend away games. Myself, I cannot wait for this game now and really want to visit the LSV but I may fall into the latter category next week. Going into hospital at 7am next Saturday for a knee clean up op and will be in a queue to have the op done. If I can possibly get the op done and out of hospital I will be getting a lift there so fingers crossed my op is early!! May the best team triumph and not have any ref decisions have an affect on the score line.

That was kind of my point, some people genuinely can't go and others, much as they want to go, can't because of other commitments. I have no axe to grind with people who don't go, apart from the ones who then complain the club don't sign top players/coaches/spend XX amount, but it would be good for the players and fellow supporters to have a good turnout of fans.
Perfect example, last night, i asked 3 regulars how they are getting to Leigh, "we're not going, we're gonna watch it in the pub" when i asked why surely your money would be better spent buying a ticket through the club and going to support the team, "ah but it's man utd v man city as well"
Hope it all goes well and you make it, sounds like it's gonna be like a scene from '300' with 150,000 lobbygobblers baying for blood

Sincerely hope not but it's actually 3out of 4 we have had him so hopefully seen the last of his one eyed performances for this season. Keep Cobb away as well

| Giants have a little band- just a drum, a trumpet, and the most important instrument of them all -a cowbell! Is it likely that the powers that be at Leigh will allow these into the ground- or will they be miserable gits like the stewards at Hull KR who confiscated them as you aren't allowed to enjoy yourself. (Hilarious watching them in vain trying to spot who had the cowbell that had managed to be "smuggled" in though- sadly the drum up the jumper and the trumpet down the trousers didn't work)

What I'd like to know is who the hell smuggled Aled flaming Jones into the CC Final last weekend? Low point of the whole day IMO.

There's your answer.
Perhaps worth contacting the club a few days before the game. The club is often quite accommodating with things like these, however the stewards are often quite uncooperative.
