Come on, some people like their punditry on the pitch disrupting the players warm up, rather than in a studio from a sensible distance.
I really enjoy watching Robbie Paul running backwards to see if he'll collide with a player.

My other half and I are veterans of the extended French RL trip. In the early to late 2000s we had maybe 5 or 6 trips in our camper at the start of end of the season, generally 6 to 10 weeks, taking in as many clubs and games as we could. In those days there was also a published Route du Vin XIII, which was great fun!

Probably does the graveyard shift......

You might get better response using local terminology. Midday is dinner time, early evening is tea time and late night is supper.

Not sure using the average rate of consumer price inflation gives the best result
The players are consumers. They will only take so much real terms pay cuts before they look for another career path. They owe that to their families.

It's a huge cut in real terms. £24m in 2020 is the equivalent of £28.3m now.

As a secondary school kid, I used to try to get the 26 from Victoria Park Swinton to Broad Street Salford (between 1957 and 1962)
De la Salle?

My favourite other ground is Station Road, Swinton. A very sad loss to the game.
My lasting memory is the urinal under the main stand, which consisted of a continuous wooden trough going right around the room and emptying into a grid in the corner. At half time the flow to the grid rivalled Niagara. And the atmosphere was unforgettable.

According to some reports there was a complication, he had another heart attack when he got the bill.

I have no idea where 9's came from and why it is a thing suddenly.
Nobody has ever called for it or wanted it - but it seems to have grown some mythological relevance in the last 12 months that some in positions of power are convinced of.
It's been around for years. I used to go to the Leeds 9s while they lasted and I thought it was a good day out. It was hardly publicised at all and got a crowd of 3 to 4 thousand. I think the last one was around 2010 or 11. It was the first time I saw a Jamaica team play (and they did well), and once they had a friendly between a local schools team and a public schools side.

Do any of these leagues post fixture lists, results and league tables?

The Aussies changed to metric in 1970, yet the commentators still say things like "Dominic Young is six foot seven."

It was dug by the club. Searching for gold.

Might dust off my view that we would get 'proper halfbacks' again if we went back to a 5m rule.
I agree. Today's halfbacks are all at sixes and sevens.

I saw him play v Swinton in their heyday. He was bald even then, and I thought he was an old man. I was soon disabused of that! Brilliant true centre.

The irony being I've played against skolars and they HAD to step up for the food of them and the amateur clubs..
What food? Pies or lobbies?

Headingley pitch

Just a thought because of the weather, does Headingley's under pitch heating still work? And when was the last time it was used?
