For your first use it might be borderline (depending on how many journeys you do and from where to where) as you have to pay a fiver deposit for the card, but after that Oyster is way cheaper than getting a paper ticket.

I'd forgotten the deposit, it's so long since I got my first one. With regards to that, people thinking of using them should also know that any money loaded up and not used stays on the card till you next visit that there London, so it's never wasted, unless you lose the card, of course.

Delaney will definitely play if fit. Mac is clearly a huge fan.

The deposit is offset somewhat by the fact that the daily cap is 8quid whereas a day travel card is something like 12.

Important tip tho...*always* make sure you swipe in and out (easy to miss post match when barriers may be open. If not you'll get overcharged (happened to the Mrs after a gig in London, fortunately we noticed the next day that her balance was like £5 less than mine and a friendly TFL chap corrected it)

Guys, you don't need an Oyster Card any more if you have a contact-less debit (or credit) card. You can just use your contact-less debit card straight onto the Oyster Card sensor and it gives you exactly the same rates and charges as Oyster. So this is great for infrequent visitors because you don't have money sitting on the Oyster Card. I understand that it debits the card the following day, after the final days journeys are all known, so they only ever charge you the best possible price.

Yep, the only real debate was whether Delaney or Achurch would make the final 17. Out of the two that are held together by sticky tape, it's surely Delaney's big match experience that get him the nod. Maybe we could undertake a Frankenstein style experiment and take the best working parts from both players to make one indestructible second rower.

Agreed side picks itself.

Re: Wembley 17! : Thu Aug 27, 2015 2:27 pm  

I think Keinhorst will get a spot .As has been said before Mac Likes Delaney he has also said he values Keinhorst too

Re: Wembley 17! : Thu Aug 27, 2015 2:42 pm  

we all like Delaney , he was always going to be in the 17 . The last spot was always between Jimmy .K. and Mitch. A
. A toss up for me on which one but guess neither will get much game time

Could depend on who McDermott would move to centre if we had an injury in the backs. Ablett or Keinhorst? I know the former played there against Hull last week but was that just to reduce his defensive workload ahead of this week? Would he be loathed to move Ablett from the 2nd row in such a big match?
