Try the Packet House in Eccles, there should plenty of room for your lot in there . You're probably best off in the Con Club next to the ground mate tbh or if you're on the tram nip into the Grey Mare for a couple, it's 100 yards from the Weaste stop. Not sure what time the tavern under the clubhouse opens at but always good for the last hour or so before kick off. Have a safe journey over

Right okay, thanks a lot for info. Not many of us have been to the Willows before, so thought better find out just incase............. Sure we will have a safe journey! see you all tomorrow.

Why change a winning team? I'd go with exactly the same 17 as last week, lets not bring Anderson in just for the sake of it he needs a few U20's to get some sort of match fitness first IMO.

We will prob be in sunny eccles or the quays for a few beers before the game,

Could anyone give me some ideas for parking close to the ground please? Driving up from the south and back after the game so somewhere close would be a help.

Crusaders have their three 'visa' players back in tonight and Tansey ! How do you think those guys will fare ? Will they be lacking match fitness or will they really bolster crusaders ! I'm a little wary about their inclusion . I hate the fact we're favourites for this one ! We don't one ounce of complacency to creep in ! We need to punish the crusaders and send a
Message to the rest of super league !

Come on reds.

Thats a great point. Cos these 3 'visa' players will be very influential to us. Perhaps not straight away tonight because of fitnees, but when they are fully fit, they will be a huge help to us. If they have got their fitness up to normal standard it could be a very interesting game!

I've parked on Gore Ave for years ( just at the side of the ground) you'll be fine there.

Always think that Sammut (sp) is a brilliantly off the cuff player. Wouldn't be surprised if one of the big clubs came in for him at some point.

Think tonight more than any other game this season the forwards will need to lay a solid platform for the skilfull backs to try and weave thier magic. Do though think it will be a good game but an odd choice for SKY, makes me think they like to see a 1/2 empty Willows to add fire to the dislike of Salford.

They're obliged to show every team on TV a certain amount of times per season due to the contract. They basically get to kill two birds with one stone by showing two teams that they don't really want to feature that much.

Re: Crusaders game : Sat Apr 02, 2011 2:02 pm  

Anyone know if the U20's are on tonight?
