Friday was an excellent start. Hope springs eternal.

I was at Central Park for Wigan v Manly and OT for Widnes v Canberra, both great occasions. But, being a Wire fan, I just keep hoping that sooner or later it actually will be our year.

Do you know its whereabouts? It was sadly missing from the table of trophies at the HJ over the weekend.

Spent a lovely couple of days this weekend listening to peopleโ€™s memories and stories of the Wire. Perfect way to kick off the 150th celebrations.

I saw them at Sheffield on that tour. Lotus Eaters won hands down for me that night.

I dreamt last night that Wire had been drawn against Bramley in the third round of the cup. I was all geared up for a rare trip to McLaren Field and quite disappointed to wake up and realise it wasnโ€™t going to happen.

I saw him at Sheffield Poly on 1 November. Iโ€™m relieved to see there was no support that night - I was briefly worried I might have missed Prefab Sprout due to staying in the pub! Also just noticed that Caron Wheeler was on backing vocals.

Iโ€™ve said it before and Iโ€™ll no doubt say it again but there is no finer version of โ€œHave Yourself a Merry Little Christmasโ€ than Traceyโ€™s

I canโ€™t help thinking the major difference between Anthony Sullivan and James Roby is โ€œand unionโ€

Andy Gregoryโ€™s best game for the Wire?

Andy Gregory/Mark Roberts masterclass.

Lindsey Hooker, second only to Tyldesleyโ€™s Frank Fullback in the list of most appropriately named players.

Could you explain the reason for the disparity in the coverage of the two England v Australia rugby internationals in the paper? 3 pages of union vs about a third of a page of league.

I picked up a copy to check out your coverage of the rugby league test match at Wembley and this was it. You can rest assured that I wonโ€™t be bothering again.

Felt like a proper old school nickname did the Choughs. Sad to see it consigned to history.

Iโ€™m guessing that this might be the old course at Walton Hall Gardens where I spent my formative miniature golf years.

Just watched two amazing games of rugby league - Leeds v St Helens (never seen an end like that) and Broncos v Panthers in Australia. As someone who loves most sports, Iโ€™m coming to the conclusion this is the best in the world.

In a combined 100 years plus supporting Lancs and Wire itโ€™s still the only championship win Iโ€™ve known.

"For rugby league to be successful it needs expert input to grow and thrive, moving beyond governance and structure to become a world-leading entertainment product that attracts new fans and investment.โ€

Erm, isnโ€™t that what IMG were brought in to do?

Found this by @andywislon.bsky.social when I was sorting through my late dadโ€™s stuff. I canโ€™t imagine @theguardian.com even mentioning the closure of a Rugby League ground nowadays, never mind devoting almost a full page to it.

This has reminded me that the last show I saw before lockdown was Benโ€™s in Liverpool. Hope youโ€™ll both be heading north this time.
