if I lived in Wigan I'm sure I'd go. But with the long round trip plus hotel bills, I'll be waiting until the season proper starts. Will be there for the Broncos, natch.

My word there are some real miserable folk knocking around on here, some people just miss stepping out and watching a reasonable game of Rubgy League after not seeing any live for circa 3 months.

Get down, watch the game, have a beer, chat with friends, boo the ref, shout "forward" for 80 mins and have some fun.

Your a long time dead.

Well I've just had a 20 quid bet with Wiganers Mick Dean ,I've give him Wigan with 10 start,easy money for Charlie. .

After three and a half weeks of visiting my mam in hospital who fell and broke her hip on Christmas Eve I'm looking forward to an afternoon off and a game of rugby. Four of us going to the game, we'll be in the Legends Bar from about 1 p.m. Come and have a chat, we don't bite.

I am assuming of course that the bar will be open, could anyone on here confirm please?

Rogues, I will be in Legends Bar before the game and will try to recognise you ,I don't wear my red nose and Bowler Hat to games though, I hope your Mum is feeling better, they can work wonders these days, I myself have had BOTH my hips replaced.I hope to see you Sunday.

I will be doing the 320 mile round trip from Wiltshire to see this meaningless friendly, fool that I am.

If the cap fits

At some point on my way home, in the darkness somewhere near junction eight on the M6 I will be solemnly nodding in agreement with you and reaching for that very cap.
