I'm glad we are playing the 2 favs first 2 matches. When we play them later in the season, I feel we would really struggle. On top of that, I fancy us by 12. Tight game, but think our pack might be able to hold then ( to a degree) and think our half backs could make the difference! Come on Solly, can't wait!

Judging by the game that's on right now we'll see some diabolical refereeing and the game is not likely to finish 13 V 13.

Silverplank is Ref

I would guess we will be on the end of a serious penalty count.

even money on Hock being yellow carded in an effort by Silverwood to ' try out ' all his new rules

Can't beat getting your excuses in early mate but Childs was a disgrace tonight.

Predictions for tomorrow:



10 ejections, 3 arrests and 8 pint pots in the in goal area.

People piling into Eccles Wetherspoons at 9am, they'll be definitely a few ejections...probably the mob who I over heard are going from my local who don't normally go. The more the merrier anyway!

I shouldn't laugh, but me and Walshy we're just saying the same thing.

Sad when a few of thing there will be an outbreak of extreme numptyness.



I say introduce a 5 miles wide alcohol ban around the stadium and introduce a you must be this height or more to gain access to the stadium policy, that should get rid of plenty of the trouble causers

Wire by plenty!

Its a shame when a few who can't hold their ale spoil it for the rest. Every team have a few.

Tell me about it. I soberly and magnanimously offered a handshake of congratulation to a Cas' fan in the aftermath of last year's last minute victory for Cas' at Wheldon Road. Sadly he took this as some kind of challenge and bellowed something loud and inaudible in my face prior to loading a punch that to my relief, being about 4 stones lighter, he didn't throw. To be fair and I suspect after a quiet word from his friend he apologised and wished me well. Like you say, every club's got them.

Thought your fans did you proud today. Great banter from the terraces, exactly what we need.
