Bradford Bulls wesbite
Could this be the season ticket launch?

Suspect so.

A host of signings. should be at least: one scrum half, two props, three centres that can play 2nd row or wing as a second position, another wing ideally that can also play full back. That leaves a couple of front line players and a couple of juniors to finish off the squad.

All the talk about 'fastrack' entry makes it sound a little like you may need a ticket to get in, which I find a tad implausible - maybe I've added two and two and got five?

Not really sure I want to give my contact details to a third party to be honest, but it won't accept my booking if I don't. Though, as it happens, my wife, who doesn't have a ticket this year, wants to to go as well, so maybe it's just as well.. Hopefully we can take pot luck on the night.

The email sent by Bradford gives a link via EventBrite which is used by many groups and organisations particularly for free entry events.

Don't think anyone will get your details other than those who set it up I.e Bulls.

I'm not surprised it's being a ticketed event, especially after the last turnout. I'd rather know I was going to get in than stood outside in the lobby.

It's actually in a big tent, or if you're posh, 'marquee', in the stadium. Not sure if marquees have a lobby..

I'll take that rather than miss to be honest, seeing as the wife can't pre-book anyway.

Lobby = outside the tent.

A big tent is much more inclusive.

I plan on being on the inside pi$$ing out.

a lobby is one of several large rooms in the Houses of Parliament where Members can meet the public. dont give a Shhh what it means in the States.

So very apposite Bullenemainthenetherlands, a place where (oops....ex) Members (<- yes me taking the micky out of myself) of Superleague can meet and greet (with promises of food), the prospective season ticket holders.

I've also been alerted to the fact that "Lobby" is the name of a thick stew made in Leigh, Greater Manchester and North Staffordshire, not unlike Lancashire Hotpot. Perhaps this is what's being served at the forthcoming 'do'?

Jeeezzzz... what have I started here???

I was more referring to the last event where people had to stand in the hotel lobby area. However, I now fully appreciate that there cannot be a lobby for a tent/marquee.

All I can say is it must be a quite week in news if people are google searching the meanings of Lobby

But for a single consonant, Lobby was also of course the nickname of one of our greatest coaches, Brian Loble.

Indeed, hence the reason why the good citizens of Leigh are known as 'lobbygobblers'.

As I'm not sure whether it it's one of those quirky local names the people are happy to hang on to, or whether it may be a a bit of a pejorative, I'll hang off asking our new business and corporate chap, Mr Parker, as he's bigger than me.

Coming past Odsal this morning on my way to work and it looks like the tent is already set up behind the Coral stand. Certainly looks large enough. Seems the club learns quickly under Marc Green

Confirmed that next weeks event is the season ticket launch.

He's camping?

He might be a little feminine, but I wouldn't go that far

This week I'll be mostly thinking about how to broach the subject of defence with Jimmy without getting a slap...

Send him a letter.

Signed by someone else

Anyone else remember the time a fan told Peter Fox the team were rubbish and asked for his brass back?

I bet he was pretty shocked when Foxy put his hand in his pocket and gave him the money.

Excellent customer service!

he would merely be demonstrating his answer: attack is the best form of defence...

Didn't know that story but typical Foxy.

What a guy
