I'm here.
Or is it here?.
Or here?
Anyway, in answer to your question regarding rumours in the Harry Pool bar, there weren't any, or at least no new rumours to add to the ones that were mentioned a couple of weeks ago, in fact the HP bar was quite empty due to most people been out on the pitch taking part in the end of season party celebrations.
At the end of the day these are only rumours and will remain so until the club actually announce the signings etc.
The ones regarding new forwards and Tilse going home (or not) are just the same though according to an ex player, Tilse apparently had said he considered going home but then started to have second thoughts, he also said the current Physio, plus one or two other members of the conditioning staff would be leaving to replaced by members of Jamie Peacocks team, apparently they were due to be having a meeting sometime in the early part of this week to discuss some of their future plans.
The one thing I did hear again, but this time from the same ex player as above plus a current employee was regarding Siemens been the main sponsor next season, they also said something about them having input into the proposed new South stand at some point in the future, both said that this information had come from reliable sources and had been circulating for some time. I for one certainly hope this is true as it would be a real coup for the club to get a company of such international stature on board as a sponsor.
Having said all that and to be honest, the only people who 100% know for definite what is happening are those who are board members, in particular Neil Hudgell and Rob Crosland who usually keep their cards pretty close to their chests .
However, there is usually some truth in rumours circulating at any one time, its just a matter of picking out the most plausible ones.
