Their gate numbers made about as much sense as those at Burnden in the late 70s. Those bags of cash from the turnstiles were worth well more than the actual value as we all know Enjoyed the ironic laughs from the crowd when they announced from the tannoy the attendance at BP.

Did manny road north mostly but did the Wigan widnes semi final in the long steps end of burnden paddock... some bolton tried to smash through them big gates at the end then proceeded to throw 500 bricks over aiming at the lads sat on top of the bogs in the corner. They were catching them and chucking them back...all over my head. Pants were shat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way that player strength and fitness has put defences and set pieces as decisive factor in most games Shaun Edwards inspired French will be real test and the Boks still team to beat.

It is a test and another sporting event I’m looking forward to! Covid has cocked up the springboks being able to play, so my statement is a bit of a play on words and the current situation.
