Taking the Mrs to visit her daughter in Chiswick. Leave the car and the Mrs there and make my way to The Stoop, then night out afterwards, probably a meal in Richmond or Kingston, stay in hotel (step-daughters flat too small) and drive back Sunday. A very rare opportunity to be Angie and David rather than Mum and Dad.

What's the story behind the home fans switching sides this year?

And are you expecting a better crowd this Saturday? I see the crowd for the Wigan game was well down on last year.

Sides switched at the request of SKY tv apparently. Not everyone is happy, but "the club" are treating this as year zero when it comes to gates, so I would expect a figure of around 3,727 (average for wire games at Quins version 2).
There is a lot of work being done behind the scenes at the club and this year may see an overall drop in gates, but with the foundations being laid for growth over the following 2 seasons with the magic 5,000 average being hit by the next time licenses are awarded.
The wigan gate last year, whilst nice, had more to do with a massive away following and a fair few kids being "invited". The gates this year will be bolted on TRUE and therefore give the club an idea of the massive job ahead.
I believe your initial allocation has sold well and we look forward to having a few beers with those that do make it down.
Safe travels.

They might have been more together but i thought our play was poor. Leeds looked very jaded and were there for the taking. Our passing was poor our runners mistimed, our ball retention was woefull. Leeds didn't really produce anything to overly test our defence. I htink most superleague clubs would have beaten Leeds yesterday. It was a dull game.

I'm glad you saw the same game as me then. I though I had imagined it going off views on here and on the phone in yesterday.

Really, didn't know they were on sale yet, better get a move on and get them bought - they are reserved seats this year I think?

Won't be a prob, who sits in their reserved seats at sport? (Except season tickets)

Er, most people, otherwise you end up with a right mess.

Not too many people in RL. I personally hate them, but can cope with them for semi finals, finals and big internationals. Not for matches that can't attract over 4,000.

Doubt i'll be going, either be stuck in work or going out for mates birthday. Or both. Even despite the cheerleaders.
