(Used to stand on the East terracing, or the scoreboard end as it was then called, back in those violent times.) 1 Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

meast Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) Heading to Manchester for around 12, head to OT for most of the womens hopefully, we said if Australia are winning comfortably we would head back into Manchester for a bite to eat, a few drinks and train back to Huddersfield. Tickets in the NW quadrant I think. Edited November 15, 2022 by meast Huddersfield Giants Supporters Association Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelic Upstart Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Getting train from York, lad jumping on at Leeds. Into Manchester just before 12, bit of dinner and then on to Old Trafford.

bratman Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 We're in the East stand. Train to Deansgate at 12ish, hopefully get there in time for the womens final, few drinks in Manchester after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh1 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Flying over from Gran Canaria on Friday. Behind the posts in the Stretford End. Back to the sunshine on Monday. Can't wait. Come on the Ferns and Samoa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Train from Huddersfield then some sort of public transport depending upon the state of the trams etc. Hoping for either side to beat the Aussies but especially hoping for a close game in the men's match. East Stand isn't the Stretford End, reckon you'll be ok Edited November 15, 2022 by philipw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjhrads93 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Live about 20 minute walk away, think I’ll head to the quays for a bite and walk over the bridge catching all or at least the majority of the womens game dependent on time taken to get into the stadium. In the stretford end, lower tier. Gutted that England aren’t there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Eel Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 East stand for the wife, kids and I. Top tier, so up in the gods somewhere! But, not before we race from work on Friday over to Manchester for the wheelchair final, which, quite frankly, I am wetting myself with excitement about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I think publishing his schedule displays a strong planning discipline and attention to detail that all of us might reflect on.🖒🖒🖒 Edited November 16, 2022 by JohnM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
