In his benefit ,year after recovering from his broken ankle ,not leg as I first stated ,the club sent him to another club in a swop deal with one of their players.No money exchanged hands between the clubs or the players.No benefit season awarded after 10 years service and over 150 games ……just shown the door. Anyways after 6 or 7 games at his new club he decided he had had enough and just took off down country to work . Effectively doing what you said. Just didn’t turn up for training or any games. Walked away. Disapeared of the radar for a few years.

They may as well have done. Player bought for 1000 pounds from the local amateur ranks, Few years later same player was offered the chance to sign for Fulham till his “ owners” asked a crazy transfer fee. Fulham rightly refused to pay the asking price. Same player decided he wanted to join the RAF . The club “players owner “ told the RAF he was under contract and they wanted 25,000 pounds to release him “ set him free” Benefit year player broke his leg pre season.Once he was no good to the club they dropped him like a ton of bricks. If the club didn’t “own him “ they had control in a lot of aspects of his everyday life, in this case for over 10 years. Slaves ??? Your contract had no expiry date ,and it was up to the club when you became a “Free Man” Era 1977/1987

Xativa Roosters 0 RAF 48 Abandoned after 35 minutes due to a bad injury to a Spanish player. Madrid Osos 10 RAF Women 38 Both games took place in Valencia on 6th June.

Forgot to mention the tip on playing the blackjack or slots. Just keep tipping the waitress as you stare at your 5 dollars sitting in the machine. Cash out when you have had enough 2 dollar ( tips) double rums

In February we had booked a hotel in Freemont Street but a couple of week before we flew I was checking prices and the Hilton Resorts ..a few fans events took place there and Newcastle stayed there… came up at under 500 pound for our seven days. We used Booking dot com and choose the right to cancel within a week before travel .. no extra cost.. and pay at the hotel. This gave us the security of having a confirmed booking but with the flexibility to change at the last minute. will be doing the same this year Flights from Heathrow…I’m midlands based now… and a top top hotel came out at just over 1800 for two for seven days. Vegas can be as cheap or as expensive as you want it to be. 7 dollars for 3 large cans at the supermarkets or 68 dollars for two rum colas and a bottle of beer on the strip. When booking a hotel check the extra tourist fees they can be as high as 3/400 pound. Booking dot com included these in our price but we did have 600 dollars held for 10 days as a security / damage deposit when we checked in.Bit of a shock. Tips are expected everywhere and 13% is average on any purchase . Go with your eyes open and it’s a bloody fantastic experience and me and her are heading out for the 27 edition. Bring it on

Give up trying to watch.. The stream is aweful. Buffering every 20 seconds.

Sitting in the air ready to land in an hour at Mineapolis on the way to Vegas Seen the post on here about 2 for 1 and since I hadnt bought my match tickets yet I took a look. Two tickets purchased in the air for 68 dollars / 50 pound. Thank you Bargain Savings will be donated to the slots Ok arrived at heathrow hotel last night and it was bouncing with supporters. Flight im on also ran out of beer within 2 hours but no one is intoxicated so i reckon they dont carry a lot of stock on board Plane must be 60/70 % League fans. Never mind the doom mongers on here ,us guys and gals on the way to Vegas are loving it and the buzz is amazing. Ps Forcast 27/30 ° which is unusual for Vegas this time of year

Workington v Saints is on The Sportsman YouTube channel LIVE from 7:15 on FRIDAY evening. Just a heads up

Standing on the hill and turn 180 degrees and you have a great view of the Pacific Ocean. WIN stadium may not be the biggest but it sure has some great atmosphere. Collegians and Steelers League clubs are worth a visit..Fraternity Club at Fairy Meadow is brilliant and an eye opener of how clubs Downunder are run. Innercity locals bar?? You cant go wrong for a great night at The Harp hotel.

Born in Singapore so went back to my roots for 3 days the first time I visited Aus. After that we flew China Southern three times and everytime they put us up in a Beijing hotel overnight. Not the quickest maybe but it broke the journey up and made a difference rather than sitting 4 or 5 hours in an airport waiting for a connection. I suppose it all depends how many days you can plan.

Guess the price of the Southern Hotel rooms will double once they realise England have two games on their doorstep. Thought I would get in early

One think people have to remember.You may book Quantas , Emirates ,BA, Singapore Airlines and all end up on the same plane.. I suppose it depends what "group" they are all afiliated to. Going to Vegas in february with Virgin Atlantic.Talking to a mate from Hull and he is on the same flights in and out of Heathrow via Salt Lake ,but booked Air France.!!! Last time I went down under (when I was living in the Netherlands) we flew China Southern, yet the outbound and return from Beijing was KLM.

66 and off on another Down Under adventure. Just booked 10 nights in The Great Southern Hotel Perth (within spitting distance of the stadium) for 1468 dollars...722 quid. Going to head up to Cairns for 3 nights Carvella Packpackers...great hostel...186 quid single room. All via booking.com Then down to The Southern Highlands for the game at WIN Stadium.Staying with mates. Now it gets tricky...Newcastle/Sydney and Brisbane or am I on the next flight home . London/ Perth/ Cairns/Sydney/London With Emirates,Air North , Quantas and Cathy Pacific currently 1865 pound multi city via Skyscanner. Will keep looking at all options. Bring it on

Was in there pre game myself very mixed crowd.
