Batchelor is ready for seismic KR week with Coldplay and Wigan

ROBINS' STAR RELISHING TEST AT WARRIORS AND WATCHING CRAVEN PARK CONCERT

The next time Hull KR star James Batchelor will be at Craven Park he'll be standing amongst the fans.

Rovers supporters needn’t worry: he isn’t injured and he isn’t banned.

But the combative second-row does have tickets to see Coldplay in action. The world-famous rock band are playing two historic sold-out gigs at Rovers’ home next Monday [18th] and Tuesday [19th].

Batchelor, who helped the Super League leaders sweep past Castleford 36-6 on Saturday, admitted: “I’m excited. I think everyone in Britain knows their music. A couple of years ago they came, I think they were at Wembley, and some of our mates were talking about going.

“My missus said she wasn't really that bothered so we didn’t get tickets, but she then saw the show they put on with all the fireworks and lights and everything, and she wished she’d gone. So when this came around we weren't missing it. We were told we could get two tickets each through the club - but obviously we had to pay the same price to everyone else, so there was no discount!”

Whereas Red, Red Robin and Erasure’s A Little Respect normally belt out at Craven Park, it'll be a bit different next week. But what's Batchelor’s favourite Coldplay track?
