I went to the Tynecastle game. As I recall we were poor and it was another Sean Edwards masterclass. But I got to spend the day in Edinburgh and then spent the night and following day on the Northumberland coast. Whats not to like about that.

Indeed, Sean showed just how he could play when him and the rest of the team were using the same playbook.

Great memory that Bulliac
I remeber the on the road games where we played at Welford Road and Tyncastle. Both mid week if im not mistaken.
Does anyone remember if they were our 'home' games or were we the away team.
Im i clined to say they were our home games but couldnt be sure.

I'm pretty sure the Welford Rd one was because London couldn't use their then 'home' ground due to reseeding or some such but the Tynecastle game was an 'on the road, fixture via the RFL. Didn't every SL club have to play in some unusual destination over the same weekend? That's what I seem to remember, though obviously I could easily be totally wrong.

That is correct, though I seem to remember going to 2 games at Welford Road? I may be wrong?

I went to Tynecastle as well, not a great game but a great weekend, those were the days.

Yes, my memory is correct - from Wiki, though I don`t remember anything about the games.
