Shame you had to lump us in with the shallower end of LS pond life but hey, I was anticipating some banter with the tearful runners up, shame they didn't play ball.

yep second that

quality transport,
hope that Leeds fan that had his dodgy moment with the grim reaper recovered ok, there was some heartless bar stewards at the back of him

Cheers for that.

With respect to the seating - the way the RFL manage this offer to amateur clubs is that you don't get to pick where you sit; you tell them the pricing tier you want, how many you want and when you've collected and paid them the requisite amount of cash, they allocate your tickets. I'm guessing that Yorkshire clubs were allocated tickets in the Leeds end and vice versa?

I really enjoyed the experience and we'll definitely do it again; next time though, I imagine we'll go for the next tier up in terms of ticket prices - a few people needed oxygen masks after trudging up all those stairs.

Yeah cheers for running the trip my parents and kids had a blast (except for the result!). Wish they would move this to the Ethiad though nicer stadium and nicer beer. Singha at £3.60 a bottle i could stomach if they had flogged Pad Thai pasties.

Great trip Bren cheers, that Lady was our lass, I managed to peel her off the railings and moved a bit lower down thanks to a lovely steward, only thing was we ended up in the middle of the Rhinos fans.. Never mind great night

she looked traumatised the poor lass I hope you bought a stiff short to settle her nerves

I must admit when your only used to the size of our stadium it was a bit daunting to sit at the top
