Bingo
My dad is in his late 70's and not able to walk long distances (but still mobile enough to not be classed as disabled). So anything more than a 5 min walk is not an option. Yes we could drop him off before parking but its still not optimal compared to the stoop, barnet and trailfinders when it comes to parking.

When we at Brentford \ Charlton, he was much younger so train trips to those grounds was no problem, but alas now we really need to be close to the ground, and I'd rather be at Egham town football with him, then at London RL without him.

Its not a dig at the dons by the way, I'm sure he would love to be able to walk from the station and go on the train,but his health just wont allow it

We are the market leader in PT Antipodeans (which is what a few of us suspected when PT was announced) so I reckon we’ll continue down that route. Would be nice to have some British players but for reasons we have discussed previously RL is one of the few jobs where Being located in London is a drawback and for all the talk we have had only minimal success in getting player in from the North on PT.

I assume they are no more retentions but that we’ll be bringing through a batch of academy players to bump up the squad.

I've used Egham Station Car Park so that wouldn't be an issue for your Dad distance wise, but the other end wouldn't be good, so certainly drive for convenience and cost if you attend.

The drop off point isn't great for drivers, but takes him to the door.

Five minutes suggests maybe 400m. Ideal is Waterside Way virtually opposite the stadium. Assume your Dad isn't the driver you can drop him off and the other adult 20m into the road (it's wide at the beginning). They can walk to the stadium. 200m on a non controlled crossing with dropped curb and a central (middle of the road) standing area, or 400m with pedestrian traffic lights. 20mph speed limit in Wimbledon and I'm sure many drivers would pause for your Dad. Main stand has stairs to enter, but your Dad will be allowed to use the lifts to hospitality if they are too daunting.

Meanwhile the diver is likely to find a spot in Waterside Way. It's a long road so lots of options. No parking restrictions (beyond yellow lines at some points) that I'm aware of. I think that's your best option.

Ramon Silva leaves for Wigan to join KPP

So weve got 9/10 players still to announce. So if we are doing this before next week, we better get a move on.

The way things are at the Broncos who could blame him for leaving for SL?
Real shame because by all accounts he sounds like one of the Academy players who could have really stepped up and done a job for us next season.

How long before Lennegan claims him as one of Wigan's own?

I was thinking the same of Wigan, Deadcowboys1.

Agree! As long as he remembers what Wigan did to Chris Hankinson! streets of Wigan are not all lined with Gold!

The fault lies at The RFL door, ANY Super League Club signing a player Under the age of 20, should pay a compensation fee, minimum £2,500, that's pocket money to them.

Was thinning along with Wigan poaching from us, are we likely to suffer the same from Hudds now they have Tommy T on their staff? With his knowledge of our Academy players I think we could lose a few lads to them too.
Sadly.

In my BARLA days Clubs were supposed! to pay amateur clubs £50 when signing amateur BARLA players, the number of clubs we had to chase, and they never did part with just £50

Not heard much from Amateur clubs about paying the membership fee to the RFL? someone else refers to WW1, well the RFL are a bit like that, only the generals, clueless!

Busy old week, this week, we’ve announced....none coming in...(checks)...yes, none. Well that’s alright then.

Thought we signed one player this week! Rob Tuliatu, on the 15 November! Time to calm down a little.

Every club is sill signing players, with 2 months until the start of the season.
