    I think I am right in saying that Sarries do not have any more games this season at the Vic. Does this mean that we can start on the new pitch now giving it time to settle down before the new season?

    You are correct. They finished 3rd which means that they have an away semi-final (to be played at Leicester's Welford rd) and if they win that they will play at Twickenham in the Premiership final.

    Now Blackburn's relegation has been confirmed, I would like our home game against them to be as early as possible in the season - I think Yakubu, Robinson and possibly Pedersen will leave and although the owners have said they won't sell the club, how much will they really be willing to invest to try and get them back up when they see the amount they've got coming in with the parachute payments? We'll find out on June 18th if that game is when I'd like it.

    i can't wait til 18th June now...look forward to trips to Sheffield and Blackburn if the time suits...as well as back to Charlton :). Hello all, sorry i didn't get here today. Master Hornette is doing his A level work on my laptop so i don't have as much access as i'd like while he's home...and he's working extra doubly hard now, final push and all that! Scary times. Still, i'm about to read back and see what i've missed, aside from the great playoff news..and the news that York are about to blow Luton out of the water ;).

    Morning all from a damp West West London - it poured down in the night in bandit country and I woke up to rain rattlin' at the windows.

    I have just started Volume 5 of the A Song of Ice and Fire and it's doing my bleedin' head in - it's difficult enough to follow nearly 30 characters, but to add new ones in Volume 5!!

    Cheers in advance for the frothy AK..

    Funny weather today. We have no wind and no rain and 0C. The weather office says rain and snow for later. We have an office for the EU in the town, I think our politicians want to join us. Probably the UK and Holland politicians see all the money they lost to our naughty bankers as money that could buy Greece.

    You can not trust the Welsh. Cardiff City lost and so did Wrexham, at least the little club could have won, but I suppose you are happy that there will not be two Welsh teams in the Premiership and only two in the whole league.

    Hi Ak thanks for the coffee much needed. Regarding no Welsh Teams in the Premiership - I think you must have forgotten Brendan's lot from Swansea. :emoticon-0108-speec

    What did you add to that coffee Charlie? AK does say "..there will not be two Welsh teams in the Premiership....".

    I suppose that the sun is over the yardarm down there - whereas up here I can't even see the yardarm never mind the sun. :(

    You couldn't really say the Welsh had a massive reputation for football, despite some very talented individuals, any more than they do with cricket. Rugby has always seemed to be the game they get most passionate about though the only time I lived in Wales for a bit (admittedly in the wilds of Montgomeryshire) the favourite local sport appeared to tickling trout...

    The same could be true for up here as well - where trout tickling is known as 'guddling'. A highly skilled sport, but, unfortunately, one that attracts the wrath of the local lairds who seem to think that they own everything. :(

    They certainly think they do - but some are rather selective about their responsibilities as 'owners'.

    There's a little fishing village near here called Pennan - famously the setting for the 1980's film Local Hero. About 10 years ago, the laird vetoed a plan to film a TV series there (2000 acres of Skye) for no reason other than it was her land and she didn't want it to be filmed - so the village missed out on some much-needed income. Three years ago, heavy rain caused landslides on the cliffs underneath which Pennan is situated. When the council determined that she, being the laird, was responsible for the repairs, she didn't want to know.
