Is that soccer place on Poorhouse Ln still open for drinks and parking on match days ?

Think so, if you didn't come last year then there's now plenty of bars in the north stand for visiting fans and they often have bands on.

Thanks Sandra, last year was a Thursday night I think, be good to have a Sunday trip over, think we should bring a few, I believe we can not pay to park on the main car park now so just looking for somewhere else close by, sounds a bit like the Stoop that was always a good day out in that bar under the stand before and after the game.

Really enjoyed the North Stand last season, a great facility. The entertainment was good too. Especially good after the misery of standing at the South End which was practically in the North Sea!!!

I expect a tough game for Wigan after last weeks exertions. I'll be interested to see how Kelly and Campese go. I rather hoped that Wigan might have been in for one of them last winter.

Wigan's was a very tough game v Brisbane but they improved so much compared to their previous two outings that if they come anywhere near that level I think they'll win.
Also Wigan did play where Hull KR didn't. After two League games teams need to play not have a week off. I don't think that will do Rovers much good at all.

A Wigan win for me, the RFL think the same too. They have given the gig to R Hicks and they don't give him games where they think the score will be tight.

I think this normally happens at the end of their first couple of seasons with us

Is there seating in those bars, are they enclosed, lounge like?

Us pensioners need to sit down !

No Weyman again, he was supposed to be touch and go for the Wakey game?
My team:
Charlie
Sio
Goulding
Blair
Mantellato/Dixon
campese
Kelly
walker
Frech John
Allgood
Larroyer
tyrone
Burke

Green
Bailey
Horne
Carlile

Anybody actually know what is wrong with weyman? And Jordan Cox as well?

New coaches but the Sandercock handbook he left on telling the truth about injuries is fully up and running. Wonder if we still get the same update on Weyman in a months time?
Cox - I've no idea why he's not in the squad. Not heard of anything disciplinary.

Totally agree on the truth being stretched on the injuries, Mr honesty himself Chris Chester not being honest

Hope he's (Weyman) not involved in a drugs scandal or anything, I'd hate for any of our signings to turn sour.

Wigan ran a very well organised and disciplined Brisbane side very close last week despite making a shed load of handling errors, if we defend like we have been doing, it could be another long day at the office.

I thought Brisbane were poor and made their own share of errors, certainly no Souths.

Great defence though, where as we maybe are just a little more suspect in that department.

I see Welham can't even carry the water this week. Progress.

We are a little more suspect than London Broncos, never mind the Queensland version.

Cox had an operation on his shoulder in the off season and has been unable to take part in contact training.

Weyman (purely IMO) will be a bit part player this season and will then retire. He is currently struggling to shake off a niggling knee injury and wondering if he wants to go round again.

Harsh but true!

No news on the chairs yet

Which two will Chezzie leave out of the matchday squad?
I reckon Charlie deserves another shot at FB so Dixon will miss out. I hope the other is Salter, who is just not making the most of his many opportunities and not up to SL standard. Anybody got other ideas?

PS Just realised this is the same team prediction as Markylever5 on the previous page, but notice he's picked 2 wingers to play in the same position.

Around 2600 seats so you will be alright.

If you'd followed the conversation you would realise he was talking about in the North Stand bar. From my 1 and only venture into the North, I think its standing room only when supping on the concourse.

Thanks SirStan' for a minute I thought that's one big bar !
