You're kidding....right?

even i've been invited.

We also staying Saturday night. Booked in anticipation of a boozy night after match. We'll just go a bit later now. Fifi, did you stay at the Herald House in Edinburgh last year. We were the other giant family at Breakfast.

Yes we did but have booked a 2 bedroom apartment on Grassmarket this time with our best mates....Rhinos fans

Looks to me like the HHH caught on as their prices seem to be a lot more than we paid last year. It was just a bit too far out of the centre for us.

Will we see some changes for this game. their are bigger games coming up ( no disrespect to Crusaders ) but with wigan at Murrayfield , wire in CC, wigan, wire in the next 4 weeks we need to rest some players.

Drew should play instead of Robbo. You do not want him coming back for a first game against the Ws


Lawrence for Jammer


Patrick for Griffin / Raleigh


Grix for B Hodgo/ Leroy



And before anyone mentions Salford

a team with the above changes should not weaken us and we need fresh players. The next two games after sunday are big must win games for us

I think they should play the strongest team possible. Crusdaers are playing very well and this is a difficult game.
As much as i like Brad Drew i cannot see him getting in the team before Robinson or Lunt for the big games coming up.

Only a fool makes the same mistake twice. As The Stella Kid says - strongest team possible.

Don't really see Drew getting a go unless there are injuries.

Strongest side please.

Anyone wouldn't believe we were playing Celtic this weekend with all this rumour mill doing the round.

Anyway something positive from Millward.



So that means we will lose. Thanks Ian

looks quite a decent bet that actually +8

not sure if anyone knows about this but i've just been on the crusaders official site and there is the option to pre buy a family ticket (1+1) for the Mold road stand for £10 !! might be of use to those with kids.
Does anyone know what stand the tickets our fans have bought from the club are for ?

No Raleigh, or Aspinwall. Maybe NB is resting them for the Wigan game. I think we will see Drew for Robinson this week as well.

Good decision in my opinion.

patrick in for raleigh

horne in for aspinwall

lawrence to drop out along with??? cant see drew being 18th man, so poss in for lunt/robbo.. lunt maybe because robbo needs more time playing in his new position! (playing well though!)

great to have the options, this is why we have the bigger squad this year, dont do another salford lads

Agreed don't do another Salford, but think he'll have learnt we can not leave too many forwards out and expect the backs to produce, a basis has to be laid.

Got my ticket from the club, its for the Eric Roberts upper tier. Cant wait!!!!

So we are behind the Posts in that upper tier. Whereas if we decide on the £10 tickets we're down the sides! I think I know where we'll be going!!

Exactly

Although just trying to get these tickets and it won't allow for just one ticket so it could be miselling. Its states a adult + Child ticket at £10 yet you need two so your charged £20. Anyone else having similar problems?

We're in Wetherspoons now. Half mile from ground. 1 hour to closing. Open from 9am. See you all for brekky. Its called Elihu Yale.

If you read this thread pre-match, where's that, please?

Wetherspoons is half mile past ground on same road. In middle of 1st row of shops as you reach town centre.

is it a 15.00 kick off?

Yes it is

time for a few more beers then lol..public holiday mon
