Mate you virtually can't move for pubs, you won't have to look far or just follow the other Reds fans.

I think we're getting the 11.42 from Piccadilly although we may get the 11.07 from Oxford Road if we're going to pay homage to the George!

I'm hoping we'll be there in good numbers, Huddersfield is always a great away day, so have a word with your mates everyone and I'm sure they'll have a good time, it's our last away until Cardiff next year.

Red Army!

Save that for another day.

Are the club doing a coach or if the train a better option?

Not sure if the club are running any travel but I'm sure they are but the train is only £10.30 return.

Looking at the squads I'm more than a little worried that we may get a thumping, 12 of our 19 are 23 or under giving the squad an average age of 24!

im not to worried about blooding youngsters i think they play with pride wen the pull on the shirt they have all got to fight for a place in squad next year so they will all know what they have to do

what's up with Fitzy?

Ratchford to play full back?

That's not quite what I was saying, I'm delighted the young lads are getting their chance and besides we have no other option with Holdsworth, Alker, Jewitt, Fitzpatrick, Henry, Sibbit & Adamson all missing.

I'm just not sure how much good a (potential) hammering will do for their confidence in the long run. I know they won't let us down for effort, heart and commitment but up against a side 6th in the league, who, if results go their way could be 5th or if they don't they could be 7th therefore its in Huddersfield best interest to win this and win it well.

All the more reason for a large dose of anaesthetic before the game!

Will Alker, Fitzy and Sibbit all be fit to play the last game?

I hope they are especially Alker with it being there last game at the Willows, cant actually remember the last time Mal was injured! I remember him having somethign wrong with him a few years back and had an operation i think? but was back with in 3 weeks!

Yeah when we signed that hooker on loan from Catalans for a month, forgot his name though.

David Berthezene

David Berthezene

wots happened to him

Weirdly if im correct his 1st game for us was away @ Huddesfield and he played like Andrew Johns turning huddesfield around with some excelent ruck play and dancing around the play of the ball, and we won, i though "wait a sec we might have one here" it all went a bit wrong after that and my last memory of him was at Knowsley Road and him getting ran over by a St Helens prop and being disgarded like road kill

Presumably he went back to france when we released him

He had a mint song too (which i cant remember right now) the old grey matter isnt what it was back in the day.

playing for Palau Broncos,in France. they have just won Elite2 league. playing stand off and running the show.

Oh don't you worry about that

depends what you define as good, there are certainly plenty watering holes around the station and the stadium.
when you come out of the station, there's the kings head to your left ,head of steam to your right ,if you walk across st george's square, (away from the george hotel ) and turn right there's a wetherspoons ( cherry tree) next to paddy power bookies those are the popular ones but plenty more in the centre of town.
towards the stadium there's the gas club which is pretty cheap,look for the big gas holder and its beside that. also as someone has mentioned there is rickys on the main leeds road and bradley mills club across from that, and the ropewalk next to the stadium, but thats likely to be very busy.
hope you enjoy your day and dont forget to pop into the heritage centre at the birthplace of the game, the george hotel

[iWell the odds are certainly stacked against the Reds today at the Galpharm Stadium but with the fear of finishing bottom of the Super League table that should be enough to lift the lads and who knows with a little bit of lady luck and a few dodgy calls by the French man in the middle we may get something from this game today...

not a chance of winning, home crowd shouting for everything and getting it, we can only hope of putting some points on the board....only good outlook is the weather. will be there along with all the usual faces.....
