I believe it's meant to take the form of an open day at Wilderspool, activities on the pitch etc.

I think I recall some kind of announcement at the last game there, now you mention it.

...Or was that something I overheard in the crowd?...

Not full-length of the pitch you understand, I'm a bit past that. Maybe from the 25 yard line. So, not like Richard Henare at all then, more like Barry Peters. With a bad leg.

Save your energy and do the Mike Peters "KICK IT"

I was speaking to the groundsman on Saturday night. Keys were handed over to the demolition men mid week and they have already began to smash up the changing room area. He was under the impression that there would be an opportunity at some point for people to walk round and dig up some turf etc but he didn't think there would be much left by then.

Are you trying to provoke me, Sir? I refer you to page 1 of this thread where I quite clearly claim first dibs on ALL the scoreboard with the intent of converting it into a potting shed.

I have already cleared space in the back garden and printed tickets for the unveling so any more of this "can I have a piece of the scoreboard too?" caper will be dealt with by my solicitors.

And no, you can't have a ticket for the opening.
