Same difference I agree, but they will argue different.

Of course they will but the bottom line is that by giving it a different name we still have to pay to cross.
Sneaky, that’s what it is. Shows you can’t trust any of their promises.
No doubt same will be said if the other Thames crossing gets built. And we’ll still be paying to use it forever.

I agree entirely.

As a relatively frequent user of the crossing it's generally easier using the bridge from Essex to Kent. The northbound route through the tunnels is more likely to be congested. We are heading off down the North Kent coast after the match to avoid the congestion and travelling back after 10pm when the crossing is free

Looks as if the Broncos coach didn't get over the crossing 25 gone 22 down!

Probably as well not playing at PL as would just be another nail in the Broncos coffin.

Seems as though the team may have turned up. Bit late but hey ho.

Re: Sheffield away-in essence : Sun Jul 03, 2022 3:38 pm  

Taken the lead 30-28 !!

Re: Sheffield away-in essence : Sun Jul 03, 2022 3:42 pm  

That is some comeback, let's hope they can hang on.

Must have been one hell of a half time team talk. Well done!

Re: Sheffield away-in essence : Sun Jul 03, 2022 3:46 pm  

Well, we are certainly improving. Well done to Eccles and the team.
