It has to be Newcastle with Wasps winning today

I had very mixed emotions today. Despite us being the embarrassment of English Rugby right now, we're still 7th. 6th would guarantee Heineken Cup Rugby, 7th would if an English team wins either of the 2 European cups. If Wasps won and Gloucester didn't get anything from it then we'd have only been a point behind them, if Newcastle won then it would mean they were only 4 points behind Wasps. I'd rather Wasps go down as I want a Northern team in the Premiership and it's a good away day.

As for coming up - I really don't know. Only Bristol and Leeds can come up on ground regulations and Leeds are out of the running. London Welsh are top of Bristol's group. Bristol having drawn 2 of their 4 games. As it stands I think Bedford, Cornish Pirates and London Welsh could have a big say in it. Bedford already stated they don't want to go up but I'm not sure what would happen with the other 2. I don't know if they'd want to go up or if they'd try and get a local Football ground or something. For Cornwall - the only ground I can think of would be Plymouth Argyle and I don't know if they would travel that far, or if they'd even be allowed to use it. London Welsh - they get crowds of about 1,000 so I don't know if they could afford to rent a ground. Again - they play in Richmond and it's hardly on the door step of Football teams. Suppose they could play at The Stoop but then there would be 3 teams playing there.

I really don't know about our big announcements. I think it's been postponed until this Wednesday. I think the ground share would have to have been decided by now if we're to move in for next season. A lot of people seem to think we're having one more year in Stockport.

Only so many ticket which were a tenner. Still double the price of the union.

No idea was in the pub arrived about 10 mins to kick off of the first game.

Sure was saw a tweet. "At wembley for the rugby no idea whats going on."

Says it all.

Henson's been sacked.

Rugby union Premiership entry rules stipulate that all top-flight clubs have to register their declared ground for the following season by March 31, a deadline that passed at the weekend. So unless they allow Sale Sharks to break the rules (or should that be laws?), it looks like Shark J was right and another season in Stockport beckons.

...wouldn't be the first time a rule bend happened.

Still seen no proof that all 83,000 paid a fiver or less..........17,000 fans more than all 7 ESL games achieved....



WoW.....a tweet. Must surely mean that all 83,000 had stumbled in by accident......and cetainly shoots holes in the BBC 's claim that they averaged 4,500,000 viewers for each of the 6 nations games....all those people tuned in by accident did they.

The day the RFL attract 83,000 fans for anything is the day your inane attempts at point scoring will carry any weight



BOT.

Will be interested to see the next gate for a sarries home match....

Sale Sharks to leave Stockport and move in at Salford. Expect it to be officially confirmed tomorrow.
