Not been on for a while but that has nothing to do with Saints playing like some schoolboy team in the last couple of months. I had the dis-pleasure of watching Catalan doing to us what we did to Bradford in the GF way back when. Thank fook Simmons has gone, despite injuries we have a top 6 team but recently no passion. Things are looking up now, hang on, Leeds on Sunday, ace

Shocking News - RIP Gary. A true professional and a true footballing gent. Thoughts to family and friends.

Been on here for just over 5 years after spending a year or so lurking. If you see a post of mine after 11pm at weekends then you can be sure l've broken rule one of forum posting - DO NOT POST WHEN INTOXICATED - so apologies to anyone l have/will offend after that time I'm Simon, l'm 37 and l grew up in Clitheroe but only really started going on Ewood in the mid to late 80's mainly due to my parents not having any interest in football and l was too young to go on my own. I now live in Mill Hill and so l am close enough and old enough to go by myself, although l have my 11 year old son to look after me on match days I can be found in the Darwen End singing section on match days trying to get my son to experience as close to the atmosphere l grew up with, stood in the middle at the right at the back of the old BBE. Those days are long gone unfortunately. "You are my sunshine....." EDIT: Whatever happened to the lasses who stood on the BBE with knitted brfc jumpers in the 80's, l remember they had 3 on the back and were massive Chris Sulley fans. Funny the things you remember.

I thought the video ref was there for a reason - USE HIM

I wouldn't say l'm anti Rhino's (although l should be with all the GF losses to them) what l can categorically state is that l despise Jamie Jones-Buchanan and Ryan Bailey, horrible excuses for professional players.

I've finally got over what was in effect probably the worst GF in years. And l'm sick to death of Burrow the nippy little midget And was it only me that nearly threw up when it showed Shentons dislocation in slo-mo? As for the whole League v Union debate, anyone in any confusion about the more entertaining of the two codes just watch the England - France WC game again. Yes it pays more but it's a middle class southerner dominated game but then l'm preaching to the converted on here

On the site they say you can pick them up from the ticket office at Old Trafford My link Not sure how much help this is but if they haven't turned up tomorrow l'd be taking proof of purchase with me to Old Trafford and heading for the ticket office. Hope it turns out well for you and you get in ok (unless you're cheering on Leeds of course) COME ON YOU SAINTS

I'm getting my car fixed.

Was due to be going but an unforseen financial circumstance meant l had to cancel. Need a car more than a day out . I wouldn't take the risk LeftWinger, l have heard it done for Utd games but l'm not sure of the set up for RL. Did you get your tickets through Saints/Leeds or the offical RLFC site?

On the subject of Chorley didn't they change their name to Lancashire Lynx at one point too? Isn't there an amateur club in Blackburn - someone told me they play at the back of the Hare & Hounds on Lammack Road?

... Leyland - the last suburb of St.Helens

Anyone else on this thread going Old Trafford next week? I didn't think so Joking aside, what happened to your lot 2nd half? S.Tomkins did his usual prancing about but with little end product, Leuluai, was he playing? That wasn't the Wigan side l was expecting, they caved in. I'd have Graham as MOM with Moore not far behind. Roby had a v.quite game and Price didn't even play (neither did 25% of the usual 1st team). In all a very enjoyable day. Bring on the Rhinos.
