Any Leigh fan that fancies a drink in cue gardens before the game I shall gladly have a drink with you

Mines a Guinness by the way

Very unlikely to see 2000, team not on top form, the Rowley leaving fiasco & a cold February day at Odsal will limit numbers travelling. Maybe we will see 1200 > 1500 travel for this one.

Looking forward to it, even should we lose I will console myself with the fact that The Sparrow seems to have a mighty fine selection of beers to offer .....

I will be drinking reshponshibly.

Not just the sparrow, there's the whole indi quarter(that's how the cool kids are saying it) to experience. If you're after food before or after the game, might I suggest the pies in the Bradford Brewery?

Pies have been discontinued I'm sorry to say Roofaldo. Replaced by a more generic menu. I'll be in there on Saturday to berate the owners.

Are you going to berate them by drinking their ale by any chance?

Well, it probably passes for Summer conditions over your side of the Hill.

4-5 degrees probably means Rangi won't be playing. I believe his contract says (although for the benefit of our owner, I'm not telling who divulged this! ) that he has to have the under-pitch heating on at LSV, for anything under 10C!

Haha, yes - we don't actually expect the usual [in your neck of the woods..] rain, in summer, on this side of the pennines ..

Reference to Summer rugby though was my usual ironic reference to starting the, 'Summer', season in in Feb! If Rangi's lucky we may put the covers on.......

Yes that'll teach 'em.

Real shame about the pies. The replacement menu is underwhelming.

Clough not back yet, but should be soon, according to Chev in today's T&A article....

I would assume Cloughie would be back in the next couple of weeks – but we have plenty of front-rowers so there is no need to rush him back like we might have had to last year.
