Shame they are in Championship 1 and if you look online you can see their shirts from the 2022 season, whilst looking I suggest you also look at every other club in that division and tell me how many have BOTH squad number and player's name on the back? I await your answer on that front. BTW they may be a newcomer to watching TGG but would hope they had some knowledge of other sports they can relate to such as soccer to give them an idea of the role of positions in a team sport.

The flip side being trying to explain to a newcomer why the fullback is in number 22, a prop in 1 and a winger in 11. Much easier if players are in the number for the position they occupy! BTW, L1 club I go to have squad numbers but no player names on shirts so how does that square with your contention? Some of the visiting sides have not had players names on shirts either.

With costs an ever important item in League One, why do we bother with squad numbers? Seems an unnecessary expense to me. How many shirts in the division do clubs sell with a players name and squad number on? Makes more sense to me that clubs just have 1-17 on the pitch rather than a variety almost like a bingo game. Can anybody tell me how much a plain 1-17 set of shirts* would save over having say 30 playing shirts with numbers and/or names on them? * I appreciate every player has more than one matchday shirt. Seems more sensible to just have a generic set with blanks that can have number affixed as and when needed.

Apologies as just been told by my L1 club they'd 'messed up' on the dates and been grovelling to stadium management to change their provisional booking to Feb 25th!

Better tell my League One club as they have provisional booking for stadium for 11 Feb dependant on draw.

Very poor Villeneuve side today. Couple of times players missed tackles and looked to blame somebody else. Have the wheels come off their wagon?

Earlier than that as been told League One clubs enter in Round 3 due to be played weekend 11th February 2023.

Or he also fell for the hype about how big the other code was going to be at attracting paying punters and that maybe he could attract some RFU international games to use Headingley? Like any businessman he'd want his asset used as often as possible and with as many as possible using the hospitality and corporate facilities? Plus is the hotel at Headingley part of his 'empire'?

Announced at France v Australia test in 1994 (IIRC Beziers) and ran in 1995 but was effectively killed by SL arrival. Fouroux was then involved with first season of PSG but will refrain from further comment on why he left, how RFL messed up the club and other stories.

And there I was thinking you'd claim you came out of it smelling of roses!

Wrote a monthly page (or so) for Harry at OR in the late 80s/early 90s as he was great advocate for the game in London. They would also publish articles from others in and around the LARL. Change of job and move of office meant I had to stop.

Looking on telly, I'd have said 5500-6000

Not a dig, have a bet on with somebody about the number there. I've gone for 7500-8000.

Anybody want to estimate the crowd?

Does anybody know if I can pay on the day for the Australia v Scotland game at Coventry? At event in Dudley so will go on way home if time permits. Don't want to buy tickets then not go. Have also posted this in RLWC thread so if admin want to delete feel free.

In the 1990s London Broncos shirts on sale in Windsor as they had the word LONDON on them and most tourists hadn't a clue who they were! Oh and vintage RL shirts on sale at a clothes shop in Slough market. Caribbean gent who ran it again had no idea what they were, he just liked the design! Now as for the Hull KR away (explosion in a paint factory) shirt on sale at Bluewater . . . . . . . . .

Friends' son on holiday in Paris and said he was going to ra ra game today. Switched it on via Premiers Sports to see if I could spot them in crowd only to be greeted by Dewsbury v Batley game from Championship! Wonder how many complaints they'll get as ra ra watchers are greeted by a proper game?

Posted twice for some reason!

High tackle. Player admitted he'd got it wrong but Skolars player didn't dwell on it. Watching it again on video, was bad technique and whilst sending off according to letter of the law, doubt anybody would have protested had he got 10 minutes in sin bin.

Very encouraging given their previous tteatment.

Perhaps he did but the only names I heard him use were from members of the Wigan squad.
