I just hope the pitch holds up, no roof seven games in two days, Scotland in May pray there is no rain the week before.

Have to wonder how they managed in the good old days when pitches weren't as well kept as they are now

I’ll hopefully be going this year! I know someone up Edinburgh so I wont have to pay for an expensive hotel.

I’ll take my best mate down with me hopefully who has no interest in rugby league (He’s never watched it and please don’t curse me for not getting him into the game) what’s so ever, drop him off at her digs. Then I can watch all the matches in peace. I’ll be in my element.

Oh for those who come looking for me. My sister isn’t coming with me for the weekend.

Has anyone bought reserved seating tickets from their club yet? Which blocks have been allocated to which clubs? Quite interested in this - isn't one side of the stadium much further away from the pitch than the other?

I'll kick and answer on behalf of Salford fans, as they have put the info on their website: http://reds.originalreddevils.com/2009/ ... -sale-now/ Salford City Reds have been allocated seats in block 20 of the West Stand Block 20 is almost in the middle of the stand furthest away from the pitch.

Not well kept.



The posts have been sawn off level with the upright.

East stand is the side without a 100m running track in front of it.



The one furthest from the camera here.

I can't wait! I wish RL was bigger so I had a reason to go to Murrayfield, Millennium, Wembley, etc. every year for club or international games. We'll get there eventually! I have faith!

Posts? Posts?! Well in my day we didn't have posts, we used have to take the drainpipes off the side of the terrace housing and stick them into the ground. The cross bar used to be the washing line, with washing still on it!

And thats if we had a house!
