That is what I hate about big games . I dont drink before a game . Hate having to stand up and let them go to relieve themselves every few minutes and then doing that silly Mexican wave instead of watching the game . I love a few beers after a game . I dont think that will change much ,but 3pm KO would help

Well it has become a tradition going to Old Trafford just like Wembley when the Challenge Cup was big . It is quite Central for Rugby league fans .yes I know we get many fans nation wide for the event . We should think carefully before this change is decided. Our sport developed a good relationship with Manchester United too . We do need to have aspirations for for a capacity of over 70K otherwise I would say move it permanently to ??? Elland Road ! SORRY SORRY JOKE JOKE . Seriously seriously until there is a stadium other than Wembley with that capacity I would stick with Old Trafford. I like the KO time of 6pm ,but moving it to Wembley would it be better having it start at 2pm or 3pm ?

Wigan up to the Maurice Lindsay era were going through a bit of a low patch even relegation. Then they had a great rebirth Leeds tried to follow suit and hit the Buffers which almost had us relocating the 4 miles os so to south Leeds ER .I think Wigan also had financial problems too. Wigan and StHelens are two towns that are rightly called RL towns Leeds since the 1960s the advent of Revie era could not be regarded as RL town and the demise of Hunslet and Bramley . We used to get a lot of our young talent from Hunslet area too. And the mining community. I think had it on their own doorstep, Wigan built a great side in 80s 90s ,but it was mainly bought

They have kept their powder dry and start of this season it was " he's now got the nucleus of the squad he wanted, no excuses now "

But that wouldn't do your club any good .nice of you to honour the great Bramley legend by adopting his name by the way .Although Bramley did help you out on one of the other times you went bust

Broken Time Payment Question
fieldofclothofgold replied to SouthBedfordshireFan's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
I wonder if " rugby" had gone down the road of broken time payments leading to professionalism would it be competing with association football as the most popular sport ? The class system in 19th century Britain wouldn't have allowed that I dont think .the ruling classes didn't want working men on their level especially on the sporting field . Take Cricket " Gentlemen and Players " -
Strange ,but I will be very interested to see what job he will bvb e doing in 2026 . What is the main reason the club have brought him back ? To play o e season or to do a valuable job in the commercial dept ? Cards being held close to chest by the Sleeve

GH wouldn't offer him length of deal he wanted after he returned from NRL which he wanted to do

Looks like he'll be taking a similar role to the one Kevin Sinfield was doing . Maybe if it works out take over from GH when he eventually decides to step down
