Brilliant. That's me getting lifted over the turnstyle then.

that reminds me my old man's early season tickets being both cricket & rugby entry.

It was 20p to transfer to the southstand i think

I told you after the Hull Kr game I wasn't doing that for you again,

Grand Final wouldn't be much of an occasion if it got the same crowds as all the other games though would it?

Not expecting a big crowd but 3 of us are going with 3 corresponding IF forms already sent in. So no bandwagoners here!!

Those 'nicknames' are genuinely sh*te.

Seriously, I hope Leeds get a good turnout in tribute to John Holmes.

Friday could be the proving night . The real 'supporters' will be there . The 'fans' and the lightweight t bandwagoners who had never heard of the legend that was John Holmes until his unfortunate and untimely death will be sat at home watching the event on their big flat screen tellys .

RIP Mr Holmes .

bit harsh on many who follow the team.WE ALL have to start our support and knowledge at some time.Does sound like a form of inverted snobbery to me.Genuine comment NOT a snide remark.

anyone know how buderus is coming along ?

Yeah he'se doing well, getting into Walkabout to make himself feel more at home. He told me he loved those VB's with his Kangaroo burger but wasnt too keen on the cheesy chips.

HTH

Very nicely.

Not having to travel to training every day is saving him a fortune in petrol. He'll make the Sunday Times Rich List once his bank interest comes through.

If everyone had the same attitude of

oh its going to be a boring game...
If it was Saints ill probs go....
Leeds will walk it...
the ruck will be slow, the intensity will be low'

Then the Catalan fans will out number us. When the going gets tough and the lads need a shout, we wont be there. And if we dont win the game everyone sat in their armchairs can give themselves a huge pat on the back coz were not going to Old Trafford.

But as a true fan...whether its Bramley Buffaloes or Saints up against us, ill be there to cheer my team to the GF.

Will Bird be playing?

Can we not get a Leeds fan on Passport Control for the dat???

Let him play, i heard Kylie wants a few words with him

I’m with you on this one mate. After all rugby league wouldn’t survive on forth generation fans who have their great granddads Leeds RLFC memorabilia from 1910 on the mantel piece at home.

I don’t come from a massive rugby league supporting family and if it wasn’t for my uncle I would of never got into Leeds Rhinos. Obviously I played rugby league when I was younger but I was probably one of the first and probably the last to do that in my genepool.

If anything I’ve got my parents and sister into the sport only my sister less interested these days.

Who said any of those things? Nobody on this thread.

I won't be going, nor will I be going to Old Trafford, nor will I be watching on a flat screen TV from my sofa. Apologies to the lads and I accept full responsibility if we finish without the title, obviously. If we get to Old Trafford I will try and find a pub down here which will show it, otherwise it'll be 5 Live Sports Extra or Radio Leeds through the internet as usual.

Nobody has said those things as such, but you know thats is the attitude...a few of my mates that usually attend have this attitude also and i have told them what i think too.

I think it will be shame that the crowd is going to be nearer the 10k mark as opposed to the 17/18k mark a semi final should bring.
At the end of the day Catalans are in the semi on merit beating Saints (in the league) away, Wakefield and Huddersfield.
From what I saw of them against Huddersfield they looked to be a big strong unit in the forwards and a pretty decent back line.
Whilst we should win, it could be a pretty decent game and our fans should make the effort for the last home game of the season.

As I've posted elsewhere, unless people are ill or otherwise not able to get to the game I cannot comprehend why you'd support your team by attending games at home & then not go the most important game of the season so far.

Its all in the forwards is this one. Hopefully Kylie, Burgess and Bailey will be on form ( you just know JP will be ) and take the wind out of the Dragons. If our forwards get on top you just know our outside backs will rip it up.

You're one of the worst ones for it.

Because you have other priorities for your time and finances across the rest of your life than watching sport?
