Yeh I did it the other day, I'm not really sure what it sets out to acheive; it doesn't really give you the opportunity to criticise Thursday games - just whether you attend them and what could be done to improve them. Definitely sounds like they're here to stay anyway.

I personally don't mind Thursday games too much. I can still get to home games and local away games but not ones that involve a trip over the Pennines, but that's the same for me on a Friday. My main gripe with them now is when the Super8's stage starts the top 8 will be Thurs and Fri with the Middle 8 game on Sat. Middle on Thurs with Top on Fri and Sat would have been better IMO.

Looking for somewhere to eat in town centre before the game tomorrow night, any suggestions that are not Indian?

For the last few weeks I've watching repeats of the superb Clocking Off series on the CBS Drama channel (it's on Freeview if you dig deep enough! ).

I remember some of them from way back when they first shown. Grown-up and realistic portrayals of working-class people going about their business are so rare on TV, the quality of the scripts and performances from a great ensemble cast put virtually all modern TV drama to shame.

If you haven't seen them before, or even if you have, they are well worth a look. I don't know how much longer they'll be on for, but it appears to be on most weekdays from 9pm till 10.

Hello, this looks interestinghttps://www.nzherald.co.nz/league/news/article.cfm?c_id. Are we about to see someone actually doing something to get the game out of the stagnant quagmire? Can't criticise the ambition, whether it'll come off is another matter, especially if the clubs refuse to release players.

just lifeted from Twitter...

Anybody else having slight issues with the site... slow, occasionally freezing?

Have had for a week or two lately, ads very slow to load I think it is. The fan kicks in on my lap-top, and I find if I try to open another tab on my browser, that usually helps (after a bit) to get things going again. Still very annoying, though, I don't get it on other sites.

Thanks for your reply... Not just me then..

Nice to see Matty Bowen at the Cowboys game last night; his nephew (a centre) was making his debut for the Cowboys, and Matty had presented him with his jersey pre-game.

Did the lad score on his debut? Of course he did!

I’d very much appreciate some feedback from you guys. I’m putting this in here to minimise facetious comments from opposing fans. This is by no means certain, and only at the ‘thinking about it’ stage right, but I am considering moving to Wigan. I have lived where I am for a long time now, but have never liked it that much. Financial constraints made it unfeasible to move in the past, but nowadays I am earning much better money (hence the regular trips to the DW to see games!). My son is settled in London, and has been for some time.

My house is just about bought and paid for, and although it’s not worth much, it’s worth enough, I hope to buy a small flat or house in Wigan, looking on rightmove site, that looks doable. Although I am getting on, I would need to work as long as possible. There is quite a skill shortage in my field (I am a mechanical design engineer), and I reckon I could find work OK. I would have thought that commuting to either Manchester or Liverpool is just about doable (plenty of trains?) if need be, and I still have my bike. Haven’t looked lately, but the last time I did, I found jobs very much in my field in Warrington.

So any comments (downsides welcome!), especially from commuters, would be very welcome. Thanks.

OK, I get the message...
