On the biggest change after returning to the Union code: "It's the first time I've been cold for seven years. I was never cold playing rugby league." - Jonathan Davis, A Question of Sport BBC TV (1995):d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_34208.jpg



Quote: cravenpark1 "Rubbish the best number 7 was Gordon smith followed by Paul harking Maybe so,but i meant favorite,not best.And i only saw Smith and Harkin a few times cos i was too young.Only started going regular when they moved to Preston Rd.He was just an unpredictable character.(on and off the pitch!)
It would be interesting to have seen how players of that era would fair today,the likes of Greg Austin and Antony Sullivan.

Bishop was never fit enough but had bags of skill, one of my favourite players too.

I remember going to the old Runcorn ground,Canal Street,in the early 90's and Bishop wasn't playing for some reason.Me and a mate was queing for the food van when we noticed about 3 people ahead in the queue was David Bishop who bought himself a burger!
So much for your Herbalife..

I would hazard a guess, this wasn't an isolated instance of burger consumption!

Lol,probably not! I miss those weird old grounds.I remember going to Fulham where the seats in the "best" stand were wooden planks bolted to the terrace steps! Think it was an old athletics stadium in Chiswick.

I'm fairly sure that sold figure doesn't include the South Stand promotion, so if a good chunk of them turn up we could be push 11k.

Well, apart from the other time's we have exceeded 10k (2008 was 10,197 v Hull, 2010 was 10,089 v Hull & 2011 was 10,250 v Hull).

I would have thought it was clear I was referring to a HKR Vs Leeds clash seeing as that was the point they made in the piece.

If I could read your mind I would be saving up for many years of therapy.

einstien said insanity is when a person does the same thing over and over again but expects a different result:



To be fair you didn't make it clear you meant the Leeds game

I reckon that the 9400 figure will include the South Stand promotion. Otherwise it would mean that we are at 10900 already and only about 600 short of capacity. Given that there are still tickets available in all areas of the ground I find this unlikely.
The club are also having a big final push marketing the game. If they only had 600 tickets to shift they wouldn't bother because they would sell themselves over the next 6 days and final walk ups.
A sell out is still a possibility though because it looks like the Leeds fans are buying tickets in big numbers and I reckon there will be a late push at the back end of the week when the anticipation grows.

Ok, look at that the other way. If the 9400 includes the 1500 (1600?) givaway, then we have only "sold" 7900. That would include more than 1000 Leeds fans, leaving only approx 6700-6900 sales to Rovers fans. Subtracting passholders would leave about 1000 actual ticket sales. I don't buy that for 1 minute, so I think my presumption is better than yours.
