My other abiding memory of Sunday was the Freddie Mercury lookalike at full volume and the 80's disco, again at full volume at the Early Bath across the road, if you wanted you, you could think Cas was in a time warp!

What's so wrong with a tribute act and a disco?

What forms of pre-match entertainment are currently all the rage for sophisticated Londoners?

At one home game last season (I think it was the second one against Saints) we had an "Elvis" at half time. I think he was supposed to do two songs, but he wouldn't stop - he and Chris Warren (our PA announcer) were virtually competing with each other over their microphones at one point before Warren had to give in and let him do one more. Then he started to do another one and almost had to be forcibly removed from the pitch. Hilarious!

Do you mean the match highlights on the SL site? If so, you need to register.

I've got a few of them and they are absolutely hilarious, he's actually toned it down a bit now, but he comes out with some absolute pearlers.

Copy & paste Castleford Tigers v Leeds Rhinos 2006 in to that well known video site for an example.
