Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby

My personal opinion is that Ealing have no desire to fulfill the requirements for promotion; they are only interested in a solution where they make no large financial outlay. They're happy sitting at or around the top of the Championship.

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby

I thought average fan numbers had increased but I’m possibly mistaken. For Ealing? Pre-Covid it was just over 800 I think (and I think that included the anomoly of a local London Irish derby that season with a crowd of around 2500); last season it was in the 900-950 bracket I think (with the "...

CCS seems to have made some big strides over the last 12 months, he is the subject of the latest wear the rose, wasn’t aware he had been in New Zealand between the ages 4 and 18. Quins playing him at 6 because of Dombrant, so a move to 8 could be of interest to him Unless it's recently been announc...

Re: Leicester Tigers Women 2023/24 - Vicky Macqueen in 'The Magnificent Fifteen'

I see the women's Allianz Cup fixture isn't included in the season ticket. I understand the club needs the extra money, but it'll be interesting to see what the attendance is.

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby

Planning permission was declined. Not in my back yard. Do you know that for certain or was there an issue with the planning application. I don’t know the answer but how hard have they worked with the local council to submit a suitable application I've just looked. There isn't a planning application...

Agree with mol2 Yet another law that was changed, to the detriment of the game It used to be when the ball is kicked anyone in front of the kicker must retreat until put onside by the kicker or someone behind.. … this not only creates space for a runner in broken field choosing to counter attack bu...

Re: Next seasons season ticket

I wait with baited breath but I feel that any rise in season ticket price with some 30% less premiership games and the mickey mouse premiership cup some folks may given the cost of living crisis decide that their season ticket(s) is a luxury they can no longer justify. How many games do you need a ...

I think that figure is hopeful. I think we'll be lucky to see 10% at the lower bracket.

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby

There is a certain irony that the Prem want well run, sustainable clubs with a good, local fanbase and the first requirement for promotion requires that they either enter debt to buy or build a new ground or sell an essential asset to move to a rented ground and potentially move away from the local...
