Testimonial Games

[jinkin jimmy]

I have only ever been to one and that was years back in the Joe Lydon era. I mention him because I remember he started fooling around, throwing NFL style passes about 50 yards upfield, etc. This was followed by a spell were nobody ran at all and the game was literally played at walking pace.

Is this the norm for testimonial games? I want to go on Thursday, but only if it is played correctly.

I'm sure this will be played as a serious game; both teams will be using it as their last pre-season match. The only difference will probably be more substitutions, as both sides will want to give everyone a run-out. I'll be going.

Cheers, Geoff. Based entirely on your post, I'll be going too!! Hope you are not wrong.

I'll definitely be there, the wait for the beginning of the season is just unbearable!

It will be good to see Richards. I wonder if Rob's hero Aspy will outplay him?

Aspinwall is Huddersfield's number 2 isn't he. That confused me because when he left Wigan he said he wasn't developing at Wigan because he was shifting from centre to winger and couldn't settle. I inferred that his preferred position was centre though.

But... of course Aspy will control Richards, there's no contest, don't know why we signed the Aussie personally!
