I feel like shiite so its a wait and see for me.

After a few days of feeling utterly depressed about the Bulls, I must admit I'm starting to look forward to Fri a little now.

I'm hoping for a response from the players, I think they should throw caution to the wind and just try play some entertaining Rugby League. COYB!

P.S. For those yet to try the 'Pie Shop' I recommend it!

I want to go to the game, but the forcast of snow putting me off the A1/M62.

If I don't go, it isn't cos I'm a die-hard bulls fan, who will go through all of the lows as the highs got me involved with them.

Explain please, is there a Pie emporium that I missed?

I agree

If it's what I think it is. it's one of the vans. It's called the great pie shop or something but the sign above the van has two bulls badges on it.

Proper pies from the oven with peas.

My optimism is starting to return now, getting ready for Friday night.

God knows why.

You've been drinking?

I'm really excited now. What I'm thinking is one of two scenarios:

1. Prematch on Sky about how Bulls are at rock bottom small crowd in crap weather but a stirring back lash from the Bulls says we aint finished yet. Delerium and I take off my shirt in the heavy snow making it onto Sky waving a scarf around my neck topless in a state of ecstasy.

or

2. Mass exodus just after half time and it's another quick get away as everyone else in the car park has gone like last Sunday. Whilst everyone else in the car listens to me talking about how despite having a season ticket I'm not bothering to go again.

I'm willing to gamble with my time (and my life if the wind chill factor turns out to be as bad as forecast) on scenraio one. Although in the back of my mind I know it'll probably be scenario 2.

Not going to the match but instead watching it in the comfort of my own home

Haven't decided whether i'm going to be in the travelling amber and black army tbh, think it'l be a tough and rough game with both sides having the quality to run away with it. I do however think it will be close, we did extremely well last week against Wire and a few silly mistakes gifted them the game, and i don't think i need to repeat who you already know we beat the week before on their own patch (icon_biggrin.gif).

However going to Odsal is something as a kid i really didn't enjoy as we always used to get plastered and the place doesn't hold very good memories, of course however the Bulls have had a downturn on fortune since then and we look a lot better with young quality players coming through such as Chase, Westerman, Owen, Shenny etc etc etc.

Bulls 12 Tigers 26

Well....i can hope

If shiite is what you're feeling like - get to Odsal. You'll probably find some there.

Funnily enough, many years ago, we always got Cas, at home, every new years day and the one thing you could guarantee was that on the way home we all said, "ah well, that's got the first home defeat of the year out of the way".......

I remember the good old days when classy Cas were great to watch and had some top players like Ward, the Beardmores and usually a few decent Aussies. Our only hope used to be to get our big lads amongst them and beat them off the park with brawn. We never out-footballed that Cas side of the 80s.

The conversions were always iffy with jumpers for goal posts.

I can't remember this because I'm not 30 yet. Ha ha.

Jumpers for goalposts? You were lucky. We had to use a couple dog turds.



Fogeydom comes to us all! You'll be boring the ar5e of us all in a few years.

Going to the Running with the Bulls exhibition has got me all excited for tomorrow now

See? All you need to do is listen to your old uncle Aardy.

AND that last excellent try made my winning margin bet a winner too! Result!

Who wishes they'd gone now!!!

I'm so glad I wasn't in the doom monger club

I do, but it wasn't because I'd given up that I didn't attend. I'd never do that. Simply coz I couldnt get there.

Yep I bet the 8000 turns into 16000 by Monday.

Highly likely, seeing as the 6000 turned into 8000 by the end of the match...
