Off the field operations

In my opinion it is a stupid decision to host any rugby matches during the season at the SOL. Looking at the other stadia selected we are an anomaly I think the organisers will have their fingers crossed they can sell enough tickets for any match at the Sol. I am not convinced they will.

Hopefully the pitch will hold up ok.

 

This is what pisses me off! We all know the match at Sheff Wed has been moved to the Friday night,...we were told days ago....so why is it,when you go on to the club website,that fixture is still shown as being on the Saturday at 3pm?

 

Every pie I've ever had on the concourse was a ****ing disaster! It was piping hot,crumbled as soon as you touched it, ended up in your lap in bits,all over the place,burnt mouth. Needed a bib! No thanks!

 

What you have described here is a key part of the match day experience.

I have suffered many balti related injuries over the years and each scar is a memory.




*no actual scars, for clarity

 

The things we suffer for this club man!

 

Platinum card holder in main stand so is his side kick, also called Steve. He got me chucked out against Reading last season.

 

It's lazy and/or incompetent. Hopefully this new guy is sorting this sort of **** out

 

This sort of summary is new....


New comms fella having an impact?

 

Heard horror stories about the bloke mate, needs to be an inquest into who is involved in off the pitch operations because it’s a mess

 

It's his pal S Davidson, been mates for years, jobs for the boys network.

 

What a load of bollocks, look at how many lights stay on at the AOL SOL and BCH during the night, and no solar panel's in place.

The event will take place in The Montgomery Suite where a bar will be open. Doors open 6pm for a 6.30pm start and we expect to finish by 9pm.

Whilst we're on, we were contacted by a RAWA member about an amazing effort being undertaken by a major Lads fan in aid of Prostate Cancer. 66 years old Norman Mosley is walking all the way from South Shields to his home in Spain! If you can spare a little, please donate here and share as much as you can to help the cause. Thank you.

I was just going to post this, it's interesting that David Bruce will be there, unless I have missed it, I haven't seen any big announcement of his appointment

 

Nothing announced about him officially. Or the Mowbray contract extension tbh.

 

Main thing is that David Bruce is in the door

 

Top bloke BTW
