We should get that actress that used to impersonate the Queen to present the cup. Shame the buggers into turning out.

I was at Wembley in 1960 when the Queen was there to present the cup to Wakefield. Had a few complimentary words too for Hull player Tommy Harris who won the Lance Todd trophy despite Hull taking a shellacking in the match.

Was at Wembley for the first time when Warrington won in 1950 but cannot remember who presented it. Ditto when you won the replay in 1954 at Odsal.

The difference is acute...drove through Towyn and it was rammed to busting...carried on into Rhyl...it was like a ghost town.
The whole zone has shifted.

Does that mean Bernard will now be appearing in the Seagull?

He's not cancelled it! We're picking him up om the way in our 12 seater from Widnes and dropping him off on the way back! He's put his £20 in the ale kitty and he's got Dec Patton as first try scorer in the Cup Final sweep!!
