Yeah sounds like he over heard the same conversation

Quick story from my trip to Vegas. My son overheard some Allegiant Stadium staff talking, by the end of the Wigan vs Warrington game the Stadium had already sold more alcohol than they had ever sold before including all Raiders games and the Super Bowl and this with the stadium only two thirds full at best at this point. With pint cans of beer costing £15 they must have made a mint and I'm sure that they must have seen the day as a great success!

Me and the eldest currently sat in Heathrow waiting for flight 2 of 3 today to LA, already seen about a half dozen people wearing Wigan tops but not seen any Warrington yet.

Yeah it's Summerlin way on the way to Red Rock Canyon, but we've got a car for the weekend so won't be a problem getting out there if we go. Shame the stadium they're building for the Athletic's where the Tropicana used to be on the strip isn't complete till 2028 would have been a lot easier to get to!

Yep ... having a sports weekender with the rugby on Saturday followed by Ice Hockey on the Sunday night with Vegas Golden Knights vs New jersey Devils and the possibility of some Baseball on either the Friday or the Sunday afternoon with the Las Vegas College Baseball Classic on across the weekend.

Printed the tickets for him so he probably is but god knows what else they'll get up to

My eldest and his mate, aren't even Hull KR or York fans, are heading across for it. Jumping on the overnight ferry from North Shields tomorrow then coming back Monday.

Another 2 here as well, me and my eldest heading out. We were actually out in Vegas back in August and were sat in Allegiant watching the Raiders play the 49'ers in a pre-season game. He said to me he'd quite fancy coming back for the Rugby League, I said (as a former Ice Hockey player) if the Golden Knights are playing at home we'll do it. Turns out they're at home on the Sunday against New Jersey Devils so we're heading out for a weekend of sport!

So is this how the numbering is going to appear on the back
