It's a very long time since I've been looking forward to an away game like I am this one!!!!
Glad it's not Brigend tho as Newport is that bit closer!!!
See you all Saturday!

Me and the old man are down saturday for the game and are really looking forward to this game, so hopefully its decent weather and we can have a bit of banter.

Dont let the barstewards get you down.

Swarcliffe.. You going on the trip and staying in Bristol ?

What team are you guys looking to have out do you think for the game?

Celtic Crusaders v Leeds Rhinos 6pm
Ref T Alibert TJ C Sharrad TJ M Craven IG S Matthews IG G Jones RR P Stockman MC A Smith

Oh no not Thierry

upset on the cards.

Hairy Halibutt has to be the worst ref this year.....and that includes the aptly named Mr Child


By all means let Catalans in, but keep their refs out. Put him on as a linesman...flag waving is what they do best

Oh Dewi pharking sant!

Terry Halibut?!

If Leeds weren't going to put three figures on us before this, they bladdy will now!

Leeds save your best players and put 13 bins on. Halibut will make absolutely CERTAIN we lose.

I was wondering whether it was worth turning up after all this today, now I think I may just save my petrol money.

Just when I thought this week couldn't get any worse!!

Celtic misheard and thought Superleague was actually a sevens tournament

bazza....been away?

He's been changing the strongbow and emptying the ash trays in the beer garden

G'day Gutter.

Been sunning it up in Portugal.





The warm sun reminded me very much of the warm welcome I receive from patrons of this fine forum when I log in



I think people like me on here now. It's been at least 4 weeks since I've had any abusive private messages

Damn, the whole board been doing that on a rota, have I missed my turn?

Don't know how many fans other teams have brought down to South Wales but we have only sold "almost 400" tickets for Saturday's match. Don't order too many extra pies cos there won't be too many Rhinos fans to feed.

Quins brought around 300

.....and a good time was had by most.
Looking at their stats Saints and Wigan look like the only ones that really bothered travelling in numbers.

Both Hull teams had good numbers too. Expected a massive following from Leeds, but there's quite a few Leeds fans going from down here that I know of.

300 from Quins is brilliant about 10% of their average gate. 400ish from the best supported team in rugby is abysmal.

we are nearer....and it was only £15 on the coach

....still, we made the effort

230 quid for the overnight trip may have sorted out the numbers . Plus a tenner for match ticket . It ain't a cheap weekend .
I'm coming down , and I will be the one with the bald head and the birthday boy badge on my shirt.
Feel free to buy me a beer for my birthday .
Been looking forward to this weekend for a while . I hope we win , but not by too many .

Best of luck to the Cru . Hopefully be a regular fixture and trip down in future seasons .

come on even the leeds 2 string would blow u away.i rekon now without them criminals you had playing we would do ya no prob lol.go leeds take it to them show us all they are not super l team and never will be ha ha ha ha

Tell you what is funny....

you're still not in Super League. Someone must really hate you (no matter what daddy tells you when he 'comforts' you

)

You have been ripped of big time if thats the cost of the official trip

My Dad and Brother have paid £100 each for travel and hotel in Bristol, that just leaves them with £10 each to pay for the ticket and they have the comfort of being on a train for a shorter amount of time.


I think the rhinos have had your pants down for that price

Hes only went to go to cadburys world on the way back.

The 230 quid included travel , and accomodation for two people . The hotel we stayed in was the same one as the Rhinos team stayed in, so it was a rather posh one. We got to see most of them before they set off to the game .The 230 also included entry tickets to Cadbury World on the return journey home . We didn't have to worry about connections on trains/busses etc . And if the match had been switched (again) by SKY then the Rhinos travel team would have made all the arrangements .
I reckon the 15 quid per person that I paid more than you was well worth it

BTW . Cadbury World wasn't anything spectacular . It ain't a place I would want to visit again .They aint even got any humpalumpas there .Was funny to hear people humming the humpalumpa tune in the queues after they heard us asking where they were hiding ..
