That was a quality York outfit in 2005, many ended up in SuperLeague after hat promotion season and we ended up weaker in a stronger division, shame really.

Wakefield have a lot to answer for...

Most of the Wakey lot are blaming Colin Sanctuary for the difference in size between their young players and everyone else.....

Perfectly possible to get back to York or even Newcastle after the game via public transport.



Albeit, with not much hanging around at the stadium post game.

I got dissalusioned with football about 25 years ago, came to Headingley with a mate to watch the touring Aussie side v Leeds. RL all the way since. Dont get to as many games as i'd like cos of distance/work. Once you get hooked you'll realise its the best game in the WORLD, played by real tough blokes who don't get paid nearly enough as they should. Its a fantastic feeling watching RL and the Rhinos are the best!

Absolutely concur. My first game was new season after the 78 cup final win....never looked back. It's a crying shame it's not a bigger sport on a world-wide stage with a bigger pool of potential stars.



I have the utmost respect for anybody that plays the game epitomised by the spirit of the little guy, Burrow.

Really cant wait now after the last 2 posts, cheers guys. Looks like plan of action will be to get over for about 6pm, bite to eat, couple of pints in the Skyrac or Original Oak and then off to the game for hopefully a try fest.

I've always had in the back of my mind though that it's the size of the sport that helps to make it what it is. I do wonder that if it had the same sort of money getting thrown about as Football what impact that would have on the game?



Either way, you're totally right. It's the best sport in the world. Certainly as a spectator sport. RL is awesome to watch. I think it's designed to be watched, don't get me wrong, I like throwing a ball about as much as the next guy but it really is a very "watchable" sport.



I've never understood Football's appeal as a spectator sport?! Football (IMO) is designed to be played. I think that's why so many people like it. It's a very "playable" sport. You don't have to be very good to enjoy kicking a ball around a park. But as a spectator sport, I really don't understand its appeal!?

Sounds like a plan!!



The corresponding fixture last year was 62-4 so fingers crossed!

You see, AP really is a nice person just masquerading as a troll.... but you have to say, he is also bloody good at it... being nice that is of course!





PS. Welcome RhinoVirgin, you will have a great evening I promise. As for staying away every other Friday in Leeds you do have an option, get the wife (& kids?) to come and then the issue is resolved. Now firstly, you might not want to get her into RL, that is ok I get that, and of course if you do bring her and she does get into it, it will start to cost you a small fortune... but you will be happy, she will be happy and that is all that matters!

Thanks mate, think ive got a plan though, just heard ive got a fortnightly job to complete every Sat morning in York so will have to stop over every other Fri night

Saying that she will probably be happy if I tell her that, that means she wouldnt have to watch the RL on Sky every other Fri night!! As for my daughter, I would rather take her to the RL rather than a bloody Justin Bieber concert which I have to endure next month

you poor sod. is there such a thing as parent abuse?

tvoc is a closet X-Factor groupie maybe he has a soft spot for Justin Bieber as well and might do RhinoVirgin a swap, his season ticket for a game, for his Justin Beiber ticket?
