What Are You Listening To - The Reckoning

Off to see this whirlwind of a band on Thursday at Leeds Brudenell. I unexpectedly have a spare (free to you) ticket if anyone wants it. The support act is a young Manchester lad with a huge future -

This lot have got a new album coming out and are touring the UK in October (got tickets for Leeds). They have gained a fabulous reputation as a live band. -

I remember Wire drawing Chorley away in the Challenge Cup. Doug was MP for Warrington North and his son was MP for Chorley. They innocently wandered around the perimeter of the pitch at half time and got an impromptu standing ovation on all 4 sides of the ground. It was absolutely lovely to see. I really hope there's some footage of it somewhere. -

I couldn't agree more. I'm sure all SL fans have anticipated the cup draw and hoped for a new place to visit. Instead we get Wigan in the draw every year despite playing them at least twice a season. I'm old enough to have watched Wire at York, Batley, Hunslet, Keighley etc in challenge cup (and old 1st div) games. They are all great days out and they are the lifeblood of the sport. We need more of that to keep everyone interested and to keep the sport alive. I've just remembered another game. Chorley away. It must have been a challenge cup fixture. The landlord of the pub we went to said he had no idea what was coming and had sold out of everything except pop and whisky. True story. Do any other Wire fans recall being there? Lindsay Hoyle (Chorley MP) and his Dad Doug (Warrington North MP) walked around the perimeter at half time and got a spontaneous round of applause as they went round.
