The Rugby League Heritage Centre will be worth visiting for many fans before kick off. It is quite close to the railway station in the George Hotel and admission is now free.

It is a myth that we always perform badly at the Girlyfarm. In most matches I've been to we've been out of sight by half-time. It's only the last couple of seasons were we've 'wobbled', but the Gaints are improving.
Got my tickets this morning and am looking forward to the game.
Will the Ropewalk definitely be shut? If so, can someone recommend an alternative within walking distance?

There's a small working mens club (Bradley Mills?) on the corner (opposite Ricks bar) Cheap ale and a friendly rugby discussion.

Definitely worth a visit if you get there early and if it's free you can't say no.

As for the game I'm not expecting us to win. I think Hudds are the real deal this year and we won't be able to give them a fourteen point start.

Try the Syngenta Recreation Club on Leeds Road next to Macdonalds and KFC. Usually free parking and good beer, about 5/10 minute walk to the ground, all welcome.
