13,028 at Saints a decent crowd with it being so bloody cold, but it was down 400 on last year when we played them.

Talking to my mates coming back from the match and we thought we were fortunate. With the injuries Leigh had picked up during the game we thought they might’ve tired but they kept on coming. They had us stretched out wide a lot of times, Leigh are a great watch when they throw the ball about. I was very very impressed with their No6 (sorry don’t know his name). Thankfully we held firm which is a big positive our defence is really good. Our attack is hit and miss a bit like our kicks in general play, i wish we had someone who could kick a 40/20.
There was a lot of errors throughout the match but it was still entertaining to watch in the stadium, it was a good atmosphere with the Leigh fans backing their side for the full eighty, but by eck it was freezing. Standouts for Saints hmm the Makinson try was a cracker i thought Hardaker (was it Hardaker) had Makinson but he managed to get over.
My MoM was the person who put Buddy Holly on by Wheezer at HT.-

I enjoyed watching Leigh last season (apart from the two games when they deserved to beat us). They move the ball around really well and spread it out quickly.
Id imagine the pitch will be very heavy, roll on summer. I wonder if Saints will go with “whoever scores the try can go for goal”, id rather Makinson didn’t bother. -
I’m dun wiv it.
since 1895 i have told people RL is finished, i won’t stop saying that until i am proven right. I am a massive RL fan but i love telling everyone #TheGameIsDead.-

I don't know who it is that favours the current arrangement, but I'd definitely prefer it if they entered at the round of 32 rather than the last 16.
Yes definitely, i think most fans of SL clubs would like too see their club join in the draws earlier.

5th Round Draw:
Halifax v York Acorn
Widnes v Batley
Featherstone v Wakefield
Swinton/Oldham v Sheffield
Is it the SL clubs who were in favour of entering the CC in the 6th Rd. It would be great if they came in two rounds earlier but i don’t think that will happen.

Oldham’s worst start to a game (ie 30 plus minutes) for a long time. In danger of believing our own publicity? Basic skills very poor. Catching and passing dreadful. Panic in attack. Senior players Poe performance. Sean Long’s first real test as Roughyeds’ coach. Needed that score just before HT. Swinton just patient (mostly) and doing the job. I still think Oldham will win though.
I thought the ref looked about 10 at the start- he’s been outstanding so far though.
Jordan Turner had a nightmare on Elm Street.
-
I don’t know how many fans were on at Swinton, but the Oldham supporters have some of the noisiest in the world.
-
It does seem as if the Broncos have ignored off the field issues in trying to get fans through the gate for years.
Is it because they have moved around so much it would mean starting up again with promotion of the club into another different area of London ??. -
A fantastic victory well done wigan i am pleased they won.

I’ll take the two points, a solid performance by Saints. I can’t fault Fartown for their effort they showed some promising touches, they will be a lot better than 23. The Saints goal kicking is still average, along with some of the PTB’s ie Walmsley & Blake. Full credit to the Fartown fans for backing their side for the full eighty minutes.
My highlight was the Colne Valley Museum what a great place. I would love to visit the Tolson Museum but i think id get outvoted for that because i should be doing “what real men do” drinking ale before the game and continue drinking ale in the freezing cold. All in all a lovely day.-

He really wants the two point drop goal in Super League
I’m surprised he hasn’t demanded that the RFL scrap playing with the ball foot.

Think we gave away around 2,000 tickets or so. We've tended to this against Catalans in recent years, usually for Home Bargains employees. I don't have a problem with it as a one-off over the course of a season, better than an empty stand as it otherwise would have been against London. Probably about 12,000 paying customers, which is still good.
The club would’ve made a nice profit on the bars. They ran out of the pies pretty quickly, i don’t know who runs them but they’re naff. They always seem to have a problem with something not working or not enough stock being ordered.

What a fantastic victory, id imagine it would’ve been a great night for the fartown fans that made the journey.

My MoM from last nights match was the London fans, they put myself to shame as i was complaining about going to the match even though i got picked up and dropped off. Their side put up a good performance as well for a part time team ravaged by injury, they moved the ball around really quickly and could’ve had a couple more tries.
As for Saints it was ok, Bell, Percival, Clarke, Whitley, Welsby had good games but our kicks in general play was average at best.
I can see the goal kicking being a problem yet again for Saints, Makinson & Percy are very hit & miss, miss, hit, miss, miss.
The big positive for Saints was the attendance, it is amazing how many RL fans turn up in the last second.-

I thought Dews were really unlucky, their defence was solid for most of the game.

I love The Breeders.

One of my all time favourite songs, short but very sweet.

I love XTC especially the older stuff. What a fantastic drum pattern, if he put those symbols any higher he’d need stepladders.
