that's one way of looking at it I guess!

If I can't spunk all my dosh on rugby, boozing, gambling and lap-dancing clubs how the hell else am I meant to get rid of it?

What is interesting is that some posters have used the word [iunacceptable[/i if their expectations aren't met.
Will they -:
a) jump off the Humber Bridge?
b) chain themselves naked to a tree stump in West Park?
c) be the first to regurgitate the [iRadford Out[/i thread?

It's a tough call.

There's no doubting your dedication!

I hope it's b and on flying ant day. We'll be having oppo fans on here again calling out the Entitled Brigade for their arrogance. I mean, we nearly made the play offs last year, we should deffo have a collective aneurysm if we don't meet these arbitrary criteria.

Robert is a good lad going by those 2 quotes, some wise life philosophy in there with no requirement for macho posturing or personalised number plates.

St John's ambulance staff will need extra back-up if the alates decide to kick-off.



Yes, but didn't you know it's our god given right to be better than the rest?



Pitchfork sharpening and torches looking for an ignition source are lurking just around the corner.



I'm that hard I was in the front line at the Battle of the Boulevard but please don't get me started on the pnp brigade.

Leeds saying "fewer than 500 tickets left" for this Sunday's game.

Weather forecast looking worse than a couple of days ago.

In view of that I think that crap pitch will be even heavier now after Castleford play and will alter our team selection.
I cant see Fadford now considering playing a not 100% fit Fonua,Houghton or Swift.
he is likely now to go with the bigger Faraimo and Griffin in the backs.
In these conditions i would have gone with four forwards on the bench but depending who he chooses at 6 will leave either Connor or kelly on the bench.
Unlikely he would leave either one of them out of the starting 17.
Whist i understand size and power may be better on the day i still think we are better balanced having Connor at centre,Albo at 6 and Josh Griffin on the bench

The pitch is in ok condition and won't be particularly heavy.

Why are posters concerned about heavy pitch. There’s a bit of light rain forecast on Sunday that’s all.
Stop worrying guys..

because there is little grass on the pitch and there is a match between Castleford and Toronto being played before our match.

Along with a game of rugby union being played on it tomorrow night also.

That being said, Ryan is a great groundsman and I'm sure they'll be doing their best to minimise the damage.

All we need now is a squash tournament on Saturday, followed by a pop concert in the evening.

You're slipping, what about the Polo and Monster Trucks?

They've been booked for halftime.

well from the photos last week of the pitch sanded and possibly reseeded he cant be that good for it to be in that condition before S/L starts

TBH, I'm not sure it's ever been the same since it was relaid the other year

Will the match eclipse Wire Wigan ?

Not really true, it's generally immaculate in the peak of summer and was pretty poor before the new pitch was put in. But there's not really any indication it will be poor on Sunday; people seem to be reading the wrong things into how the pitch was being prepared for Sunday on the day of the SL launch.

Hopefully the dry couple of weeks we've had means it'll survive tomorrow night okay. I'll take a photo at the end of the game. The rain on Sunday won't help though.

It'll take a lot to do that, both teams looked very good tonight I thought and Wire were unlucky not to win despite the sending off of Hill
