All eyes seemed to be focused on the Leigh away game but this is our second away game of season. Is there an appetite for a mini bus trip from St Albans / Herts area to the first away game in Sheffield ? Perry, others what you reckon ?

Don't go to Sheffield mate. We're based at the Keepmoat Stadium, Doncaster, in 2015.

I didn't know that and assume Doncaster and Sheffield will be playing their home games from the same ground? Just Googled 'Keepmoat Stadium' and it looks a top venue & holds over 15,000 too. Will look forward to travelling up to those games being the furthest south

The driver behind organising the trip to Leigh was to lay the ghost of the Semi Final at what should be a significant game for the Broncos this year. We needed to plan early to make sure there was enough interest to go ahead - and the trip is definitely going ahead - and at that time we didn't know when or where the Sheffield game would be played. Enjoy your trip to Sheffield, here's hoping for a victory, but join us on the coach to Leigh for a great day out!

Yes, Doncaster and Sheffield are both playing at the same ground. They'll be double-headers so get there early for the Doncaster game if you want to watch both. Doncaster play Featherstone at 2:00pm then Sheffield host London at 4:15pm.

Point of order. You claim this Leigh trip is the first such event since the 2006 away days, funded by the club.......it is not. 2 Full coaches visited both Welsh Wales on April 13TH 2009 and Wakefield on June 28th 2009.........we defeated the filthy cottage burning welsh and Luke Dorn danced a Jig to "Luke Dorn is a poacher, he wears a poachers cap".....but narrowly lost to Wakey by 2 points where being pinged 12/7 in the penalty counts was our undoing.

I hope the Leigh coach trip is the first of many this year and that we do indeed lay many a ghost to rest, but like attending home games, paying at the turnstile away results in no income to the club!

I know! I was at that Crusaders game as well! We're not going to add to anyone's coffers, we're there for a good time!! The biggest achievement of the Supporters Association so far has been the mutual support of those of us left in such a dire year; helping the game financially will spring from that.

Five of us going.
