Double Header

[AndyNick]

Who's all off to Coventry tomorrow? I don't get why they're playing it so late in the day. 2:30pm and 4pm kick offs would surely be a better plan. Will be interesting to see what the attendance is like as it hasn't been particularly well advertised in the local area, certainly not to the same level that Wasps games are.

England have to better Australia's score against Scotland. That way it is still in their own hands after last week. See that George Williams is set to play. Can imagine Sarge will probably sit this one out.

Precisely. Had it been as you suggest, I'd have probably gone. As it is, don't want to be stuck in Coventry at 10 pm on a Sat night.

Well, for those who didn't make the double header they missed two things.
First it's a great stadium, good parking not too far away, easier to drive to than fighting up the M6 on a Friday (a personal geographical consideration - but relevant to me), and really excellent catering. Real ale and fish or pie and chips - brilliant.
The other thing they missed was freezing to death. It was seriously cold. I think that's more to do with the rotation of the earth than the venue, but gosh it was cold.

The timing of kick off was of course dictated by the television who were covering the Wales/Australia dark side game. But before we get to excercised about taking second place, the Welsh sold out their stadium and we only got 20K at the Ricoh. If we want to be taken more seriously then more people need to get to the international matches in particular. Fill those stadiums and we will get more coverage.

If we want our game to grow and be respected, and I suspect we all do, then we need to be seen to take it more seriously ourselves. We need to fill the grounds instead of moaning all the time. Nobody listens to moaners.

Match times delayed because of Yawnion internationals played around midday?

Was nice to bump into you & kiwiseddon at the Ricoh ????

How easy is it to get to that stadium! Fantastic.

Staff couldn't have been more helpful.

Nice stadium but as you said it was bitter cold ???? Brrrr
