Isnt Clarkey a Leigh lad ?

no

Jon Clarke lived in Lowton and went to Lowton High was in the same year as Stu Littler and our Dave.

There are loads of places within walking distance of the stadium that sells quality beer cheaper - that is getting it into perspective.
How anyone can compare spending on Toulouse/Wembley trips to complaining about prices at a stadium surounded by cheaper options is not real.

Change of tack but wasn't there a lot of empty seats for a sell out crowd.

Sold out for tickets that can be sold. Club Wembley members that obviously don't like rugby.

Thought that myself to be honest.

The club wembley seats created a band all round the stadium of empty seats. England football get this and the Charity Shield soccerball was the same.

Dave Armitstead enjoyed his day I can assure you!

And Johnny Clarke is a Leyther, he was int' year above me.

New Wembley has never sold out (turned up) I understand even though all seats have been sold.

You will also get a few lads too rough to go or decide to stay in the pub, and the odd coach that breaks down.

I think they keep 'reserved seats' empty too. In case there are any problems and people need moving. It was a brilliant atmosphere though. We were outside the stadium in the street for a couple of hours with the Leeds and Wire fans. Banter was quality. Then the police arrived on horses and they were pretty heavy with their handling of the crowd to be honest.

Did you have your Leigh top on jonny.

Yes mate, so did Wurzel.

Nice one, we will be in the Goose around about 4 o'clock on Thursday mate if you still fancy it.

It was nice to see plenty of Leigh Shirts on Saturday, we were playing spot the Leyther!

Starting early then!!! Wurzel's been called on shift so may just be myself and Alvis coming in.

Always start early mate, see you both there, what time will you be in jonny.

Depends mate, only finish work at 3:30 and it takes me an hour to get wom. Do 2 of the 3 S's and should be straight out.

We found St.Giles ok, had a couple of beers and saw a few friendly faces before going to the show.



Hope no one got charged for the damages

No sign of Popman

(was he sleeping it off?)



On the other hand three Leythers were spotted at Wembley peering through the window of a Gurkha restaurant.



One was a Frank B lookalike

And that was before you'd been with your Indian friend

after which you were 'spotting' allsorts











well except for the stairs in the restaurant.

Thanx for reminding me

Ok jonny, see you there.

£8:50 'special' for a pie and a pint, £30 to park your car, £6 for a programme.
