Re: Late night disturbance
I think which ever way you look at this, a bit of fun by players, an overreaction by the staff and police, an embarrassment to the club, they were wrong in doing what they allegedly did. I am glad that there were no arrests, disappointed that the press have made a 'meal' of it, but my concern is wit...

Re: Catering & Bar Feedback Season 2016/17
Last night's service in the ABC was simply worrying. Simple addition & subtraction seems to be a problem. My friend took 3 glasses back, and only wanted 2 refilling in return. We got there eventually, but it doesn't bode well for the busy times. However the beer was fine, and the staff were real...

Re: Ospreys tomorrow night.
Overall I thinks there were more positives from that game, which as a pre-season game wasn't bad. Ospreys backs were electric, and we coped with their speed reasonably well. Sam Harrison is such a good player, again giving 100% and was really effective. But for me the performance of Luke Hamilton wa...

Re: New pitch for Ospreys game
Ads677, I have to agree the 'camber' seems to be more pronounced. But that is the best playing surface I have seen at Welford Road in over 35 years. Of course its only one game, and who knows what an English Winter will do for it, but it does look good!

Re: Reduced Opening Hours.
Jgriffin, yes it had been talked about, but had not been communicated officially, or effectively.
In fact, when the rumours surfaced last week, prior to the announcement, allegedly a caller to the club was told there was no change.

Re: Reduced Opening Hours.
I think that some on here have missed my point. This change, welcome or not, came out of the blue, and if you haven't internet access you wouldn't know. Personally, I enjoy the time I spend on the terrace with my family and friends before a game, others may not. Ridiculous you may think, but we are ...

Re: Reduced Opening Hours.
Sibarite, it is not a rehash at all. This is about the club reducing the time that people spend inside the ground before a match. The reasons for that decision could be many, and it is only suggested that it could be financial. Dunks43 could be correct in his evaluation, but it could be that the clu...

Re: Reduced Opening Hours.
Let me first quell the rumour jgriffin, that I need a 2m square, 1.75 is plenty! Joking aside, one of many reasons why I love rugby is that we all count, players, coaches, fans and even referees. We are very quickly losing all that, mainly due to the pursuit of money. Yes, it is a business, but inst...

Reduced Opening Hours.
Having read yesterday's news from Tigers. I see that the turnstiles will now open 1 hour and 30 minutes before kick off, instead of 2 hours before kick off. Personally, being a terrace STH, I like to get there early, meet friends and have a couple of beers before the game, which of course we can sti...

Re: "Charlton back down after attempting to gag outspoken fa
I have been a STH for a really long time, and if I feel that the my club has done something wrong then I deal with it. I have contacted them about catering, stewarding, sale of alcohol, fans behaviour etc etc. Every one of these have been on specific issues, and in every case I didn't believe the fo...

Re: "Charlton back down after attempting to gag outspoken fa
Sibarite, I am sorry that you feel that way. I do not believe it is a 'Sham', nor do I believe it should be closed. We all have opinions, and I believe that the majority on this Forum are respectful of those of others. I believe that most enjoy the friendly banter that goes on, and when it goes beyo...

Re: "Charlton back down after attempting to gag outspoken fa
Sibarite. I don't believe that there is a problem with free speech on this forum. I have been active on here for some time now, and I think that that it is run pretty well. If a topic is in the wrong area, then it is correct to move it. If a post has gone 'off topic' surely it is right to bring it b...

Re: New pitch for Ospreys game
Crikey, it's now being watered, along with the part that hasn't been turfed! So I hope not too much, so that we have to delay laying the rest, due to mud!

Sibarite, I think it may be because it is not strictly Rugby related, so has been moved to the Chit Chat stream.

Starting to look green at last!
