Also available in bottles (tho' I've yet to try it froma bottle).
Problem: we do not own the food or drink sales at the ground, we do not even have a shop. Agree we need to look at linking but ...
As an aside, I ahd a drink of their hop on Sunday night, after the fight match.

One area that Toronto Wolfpack is in front of us (and the majority of British clubs) is beer. I do not mean Steam Whistle Pilsner: it may be great but not Holts, Pictish or Cloudwater. No in looking after the fans: from www.torontowolfpack.com/beergarden/A beer garden that promises:"Each home game will feature a rotating group of small brewers. Once the game is over, stick around the garden for some live music and more fun. Join in the tradition of rugby and enjoy a pint with the players who battled it out on the playing field only to share a laugh and drink." Well, they have a lot of choice: www.ontariocraftbrewers.com/index.phpENVY

I'd be interested as well as "speccies" comments often annoy me: two I've grown to ignore as they really irritate are "Linesman, wave your flag as he's off-side" (sic ad infinitum) and "Ref, forward" when the pass has been affected by wind or because it's a high pass and was directed behind.

Phoenix tried one but it was a copper coloured , medium hopped, low gravity bitter: very like what was being drank some 35+ years ago and so it failed. One pub told me that they had to waste most of the "9" as it sold so badly... a famous cask pub that sells ales very quickly. The ale suprised and upset me as Phoenix later produced a straw and more hoppy ale "for Spotland" called Spotland Gold and this still sells well. Why issue a beer that costs more than other copper coloured traditional ales, had little to make it stand out, and at at the time of the gold ale revolution?
Look at this list: www.ratebeer.com/breweries/greater-manchester/80/240/
80 breweries in the area. There's even a couple that maybe I've yet to sample (but I'm not admitting it). You can pick a brewery who specialises in every type of beer you can mention (including Belgium and German types). The only downside is price. Craft ales will cost more ... £4, £5 or even £6 / pint
Imagine if sold at Barton at a special bar. The seller will have to negotiate with the stadium for a bar and pay through the nose for it: before cost of beer, equipment and staff. Last season, the last game played by Sale had a real ale bar that was open for our game: I remember the reaction several Salfordians made when faced with the cost of a pint. Comparisons with Holts caused apolexy.
Then again: why not this company? www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/14448555.REVEALED__Bolton_s_pub_of_the_year_2016/?ref=mrb&lp=11

After the trauma of the million pound game 2016, I dream of " when the games are dead rubbers".

Could someone wake me up: choice! (8 months ago I was worried about relegation, club closure and who we could retain if we made it to the 2017 season) CUP: simply because of the effect on joe public. Most non-RL bods are unaware of the OT game, even RU bods are aware of the Cup. Even ...

Let's see: in defence you tend to move half-backs wide and in attack, so long as they are near the play-the-ball, they can be either side or both open side. So why not have 3 half-backs on the meadow? Sau rarely passes so it would be a bonus. We'll miss him in other facets of the game so compensate by three brains on there.

I'm now not as confident as I was on Friday night. I've read two reports of the Saints performance v Warrington; both suggest we could be in for a test with their centres, front row , and half-backs.
As for our team, I'm with Carnster: tweak but not change.

Again evidence of a commitment to the club: compared to past years when (to be honest) we had some players here for the money or berth, there seems to be an association in the squad we should be proud of.

Both Bibby and Lannon played for Halifax last weekend and were part of their win over Broncos: I'm suprised that they're not required for the cup game v Hunslet
