Quote: Catalancs "fair enough. i still say it depends on the game.
when the union press come out saying its a global game and then the all blacks put towards 100 points on a 'strong' union nation like samoa you have to say that its a bit of an exagerated claim.
as far as i know the vast majority of folk esxpected england to easily beat the young, largely inexperienced wales team on friday.
i certainly did. that's why i had 20 quid on england -36
Rugby Union is not a global game by any stretch of imagination, still at least they are increasing the amount of games for the smaller nations against the giants of world rugby. They can only get better that way. League is very shoddy when it comes to this, take PNG for example, how many tests have they played since WC 2000, about 6/7 at most. They should have made the 4 Nations tournament scuedled for 2009 a 5 Nations tournament. PNG is the only country in the world where Rugby League is the national sport, at least the RU bodies look after the smaller nations.

Oh absolutely, but in the words of a former Stoke City manager (Alan Durban?) whose side were berated for shutting up shop and grinding out a goalless draw at Highbury, "if you want entertainment, go watch the circus".

Sport at the elite level is a results business.

True and union internationals at Twickers etc are always going to sell out or go close.
I'd have been worried if I were a club chairman.

LFC, I'm not going, and I too have received the offer of a freebie.

I got a freebie once before and last about 20 minutes before the bar and the football results became more interesting.

That bad is it icon_lol.gif
I think its open to all season ticket hoders from both last year and next so they must be desperate.
Do you reckon we can sit/stand wherever we want?

I will give it a go anyway unless its raining when I set off or something else better comes up icon_wink.gif
