I heard that conversation on 5 Live yesterday as they were covering the game. Some ridiculous comments from Brian Moore who thought it was a good move for them to move to their "own base" at Barnet as fans would know where they will be playing every other week. Well I wonder who is forcing them to play at Wembley and Twickers and the planned game in Capetown. I hope we tell them where to go..
Wait... let me get this right. Saracens build a new stadium, at significant expense, knowing that its capacity is 33% lower than the minimum requirement for a competition they intend to compete in every year?
I always thought there was something rushed about their move to Barnet NNW. Looks like they missed a key requirement, unless they have other plans?
To be fair 10,000 probably suits them fine for the majority of games where a great atmosphere can be created - and for the big matches they will use Tickenham, Wembley etc. The cost of a bigger stadium may not have made economic sense
Hopefully the Pozzos will tell them that they'll only be able to play big games at the Vic once Italy have won the Six Nations!
If Italy and France start dominating the Six Nations, I think we will suddenly see international rugby league coming into fashion.
Morning all, Second day back at work after the Christmas/summer holiday break. The biggest shock was coming back to a tidy ofice. I forgot that I had tidied it before I left. All the really important jobs that I had failed to complete in December seem to have resolved themselves without any input from me, just in time for a pile of meetings I have today. After that I have to learn how to use the new, upgraded computer programs that are supposed to improve our efficiency. Usually I find that I use them less and less as I can't work out how to do what I used to do. This is when a pencil and paper become invaluable. That is technology I can understand and use much more quickly.
As long as you know how to keep up with the football results & post on here you'll have covered the useful bits.
Watching the Soton V Everton game and Jason Puncheon had to leave the field for the "call of nature" - he returned onto the pitch to a chorus of: He s**ts when he wants He s**ts when he wants That Jason Puncheon He s**ts when he wants Highly amusing and even put a smile on Mrs W_Y's face - well when I explained what happened!
I see that Ned Kelly is going to be buried next to his mother 133 years after his death. Seemingly some want him there, yet after all this time there are some who feel it wrong that his remains will be in the town where he killed people. Not sure what remains will remain, but I guess that no one objecting actually remembers him.
Strange burial too - buried in quick-dry cement for some reason. An odd thing to do when his skull is still missing - you have to ask what they'll do if it turns up.
