Keith , the weather is fine , im currently sat in a deckchair ,on the Northern Beach at Walney Island , its not yet Factor 10 time , but it will be come kickoff .

I'm sure you're gutted

Didn't see you today Charlie did you make it ?

Hope you payed for it, did you have a donkey ride?
Well done to my friends at Leigh, no Penky? am I right, how did Snarling Sam go?
Looked like you took a lot with you.

...apart from that 'tackle' he slightly misjudged

The lad had slipped and was on his way down. No where near as bad as the Wigan players on Saturday morning.

Back on topic for a moment - Junction 36 Northbound was closed ALL DAY, and there weren't any roadworks at Newby Bridge, at least on the way back!

Other than a slight congestion on the way back around the M55 junction we made it there in under 1.5hrs and back in just over 2.0 hrs

If it had been summer rugby I would have been on the
Then it would have been under a hour each way

I can confirm that charlie was at the game,you were probably trying to spot him in the hospitality boxes!!He was stood with the working classes on the terrace,deck chair under his arm

Yes Lynda , I was there , under cover opposite the entrance were the players come out , I went with Roman Officer ,as the Captain said , watch the game with the enlisted men , instead of sitting down , had Salfordlad mythiring me most of the game .

You will get your reward in heaven Chazza, and it saved some other poor sod getting stuck with him

It was bloody freezing on the terrace behind the sticks in the first half but we toughed it out for the lads. Far better and warmer in the second half though.
