In my experience of Haverhill supermarkets, most of the checkouts will be 'manned' by Polish speaking staff. It's a new town where most of the population commute to Cambridge or Stansted for work. Any low paid jobs (waitress, bar & shop staff, factory work etc) round here will have mostly East Europeans doing it - and we'd be stuffed without them. If you want a more extreme example, try some of the back lanes through the Cambridgeshire fens and see the 'slow down' signs for drivers written in 15+ European languages. You don't get too many British workers in the fields picking vegetables.

Back on topic - we've had three enjoyable internationals on tv this weekend, all with 10K+ crowds (Aus v NZ, England v Wales, France v Scotland). Well done to Leigh, Warrington & Perpignan - all the events seem to have gone smoothly. Plenty of England cricket matches won't have 10k in attendance, same for GB Davis Cup tennis & I've been to England or Wales RL games in the past that had half that number in attendance. No way can you call this a 'poor' crowd.

Never a truer word said!

Sounds like it only needed someone to kneel down behind him and trip him up and it would've been perfect

I came for the weekend, attended both games and stayed in the Park Inn at the Leigh Sports Village and must say I thought everything about the LSV was great. Easy access, good traffic flow, fine parking, nice ground etc.

Yes saw that, it was Ryan Bailey.

Thought the crowd was ok for a fixture against Wales, one big plus point was the amount of families in the seated stand behind the sticks.We had no hassle getting to the LSV either, all in all a decent afternoon out.
