Salford away to help their ramp up at the new ground seems pretty likely I'd think - the question is, do Widnes have the gonads to challenge us to a game at the Stobart and risk getting beaten again?

Salford, Widnes and Wire. Bloody hell thats a bit mouth watering. I think that we can only do the decent thing with Salford.

After all the cost cuttings made to Salfords new ground. Do they have undersoil heating? Surely a factor when arranging a friendly in Dec/Jan.

Salford should be a good Boxing Day fixture..........The Mutants will be lining up Gateshead for their pre-season game.

Don't forget we had one of the friendlies (possibly even against Salford?) called off the other year despite having undersoil heating!

Wasn't that because of the bridge over the bypass? The LSV staff had gritted and cleared all around the stadium but the Wi&an council hadn't gritted the path on the bridge over the by-pass. The Police called the game off on H&S grounds!

Yeah was summat like that. Still shows no guarantee of the game going ahead anyroad even when the pitch is fine.

Salford's new ground should have gas powerred under soil heating from a locally produced fragrant source just down the road. It may give a new meaning to them having a stinker of a game.

Ahh, but that was two years ago. They learned their lessons this year and gritted the bridge and got the game on.

Aye, but council cutbacks next time around

Aye, but Leyth have a secret weapon in such surcumstances. Frankb stood at the sumit of the bridge after five pints of Landlord in The Spinning Jenny. That urine could cut through diamonds never mind ice!

That isn't an image I wanted at this time of neet.
