Refereed out of the game to a certain extent. He was absolutely determined to give Ampthill every possible chance, and succeeded. Add to that the number of injuries to the squad before the start, and adding in more during the game (and approaching 30 minutes when we were down to 14 and 13 men) I...

I think you're correct. Slipped right off the radar whatever happened. Not sure they'll retain him, but we'll see.

Ram's stats were well out of date it seems. Apparently he's played in pretty much all of Donny's games since his return in November, if I read it right. Good omen going forward. Three decent signings anyway, and answers a question about cover at full back.

I note that one of them played for the Army against the RAF last night (as did Nat Titchard-jones and Ravai Fakati. All started, loosehead, centre and wing).

Two of the mentioned lads are fairly regular (not ever-present, but over half) and one has played in about a quarter of the games. I don't know if injuries/unavailability (army for at least one of them I believe) have any bearing. Still, may be barking up completely the wrong tree names-wise!

If it's Aussie/Tongan loose forward Jack Ram as rumoured up in Donny, that's a good signing.

No clues on capacity (but 9 to 10000 tops feels about right given current capacity. If the Railway End is eventually developed I would think 12/13 thousand, but much depends on how much is standing. If the whole of the west side is terracing, then it could be up to 18000, but 15 more likely...

Ish. Hopeful of one or two more becoming available before too long. What annoys me most is that this is the kind of forward thinking ambition that the RFU and PRL are likely to suffocate with their protectionist, top-table/England-only policies.

In fact...

Someone has leaked the ground pic on Twitter now, so no doubt you'll see it soon enough.

Jon was saying nowt (just an inscrutable smile). However, from the look of the card he held up (not very big. A4 ish) it appeared like two stands on the Butts Road end and the Broomfield side (only part of each depicted). Both were 'stacked' against taller buildings which appear to be apartments...

Yes, it was pretty dire today - but winning ugly is a thing, eh? Jon Sharp was muttering darkly. BTW, the plans for Hull have changed. The front car park will now be open (and accessible as normal via The Butts), and the marquee etc etc will now be situated at the Railway End and the west side...

Yes he is. But never mind eh?

And there we have it with the first announcement to be of two props. Both sound like useful acquisitions. One LH/TH and one LH I believe, although he's not someone i've come across before. Fairly young, as I thought likely, and started his career not a million miles from here - but via a very...

Oh, and Setu? Absolutely no clue, but I will say he did himself no favours during his rehab period. I'll say no more though.

I'd be very surprised if we bring in fewer than two props, but they are a very expensive commodity when properly matured, so maybe Beech (? If indeed it is he) as a TH/LH will be our only 'luxury'. I would think maybe a mid-ranger with some potential would be a target, but they tried that last...

Reasonable prices. Makes it even more worthwhile renewing the old codgers' ST though. Compared to Bristol (this season, at level two) charging between £20 and £41, that's an absolute steal.

That would be my guess too, but you never know. Fairly open secret though.

No, not a rule Nick. Just a commercial decision.

Policing the split is one of my concerns, I must admit. Last time they did it it was a nightmare. Hopefully they've learned a lesson. No idea on matchday tix yet. Interestingly, my seat will cost me a tenner less than last season, so I'm not complaining (even if it's for fewer games). The 'cup'...
