No fumes involved this time Dan, you are spot on, I remember the picture too. Was looking through the thread to see if Torch had posted how happy he was at Doyle's return :emoji_smile:

Yes they do still have Willie le Roux, but every Rugby Premiership side can have two marquee players, those outside the salary cap that they can pay whatever they wish. Wasps are Le Roux, and Beale, and they are not replacing Beale. That's tells me a story in itself but I also heard rumours that...

Interesting that my team Northampton Saints have also cited the same issues. The outgoing CEO said that Rugby wages were spiralling towards football wages and that clubs just cant cope. Add to this trying to compete with French clubs who have unlimited resources, a few British teams will come...

I know he isn't everyone's cup of tea, but after seeing such an inept team last season without any bite, recruiting someone who is that sort of player, knows how to lead a team, and is coming from the existing Champions of the league we are going down to isn't a bad thing. At the very least his...

You know I was only ribbing :)

If I contact my MP, he writes. Its the way they do it. If you don't like it you can always complain to your MP ;) When you say something isn't right, perhaps it could be, and I know this may come as a shock to you, that Nick Eastwood is lying? Re the Telegraph, when people damn them for the...

Tony runs him close. ;)

Perhaps he tracked his letter. So are you saying the Telegraph are lying?

London? ;)

All fair points Houdi. Its sickening to see how badly we have failed.

Not sure, cant imagine many if any. The only one who may have some is Saracens who built their own stadium to move back to London to their original heartlands. They obviously had more regard for their fans than the lure of money. It will be interesting to see whether they just keep churning out...

I don't cling to the hope they are struggling Houdi, although would be happy to see the back of them. I know the game a bit as have been a long standing Northampton Saints fan, and from my observations I can see a few things. One they need us at the stadium as it helps their finances whether...

Oh so you see all the cars in personally, and still get to the game. Feel like a fib is being told somewhere, I am sure you have said your minions do it for you whilst you lap it up in hospitality/casino. Re Plastic fans I am sure Wasps have being in existence more than a few years...I wonder...

I really don't know where you get this from. I know a group of over 30 Tigers fans, as well as all the Saints fans I have met over the years, and hardly any have ever gone to watch other teams, and none have the colours of other clubs. I am of course talking about long term Rugby fans not...

Didn't Pompey do that once? Coincidently spoke to a Pompey fan this morning, who is naturally on top of the world after the took the title at the weekend. It gives me hope that perhaps there is a light at the end of the tunnel, seeing how they have turned it around.

Its a good move. I suspect Wasps need us re their finances, like we need them for the stadium.

Its not just us. How many teams have long term managers anymore? apart from the big clubs.

Good question, and I certainly think its the latter. I have been a follower of Northampton Saints for years, as a proper fan who has attended games over a long period of time. They are a club like the Tigers who are deeply embedded in their community. I was really pleased when they won the...

Managers share a degree of blame if they are shit, and cant get the best off their players or recruit badly. In 1986 Don Mackay couldn't get Cyrille Regis to hit a barn door with a banjo. A year later George and John had turned him back into the powerful feared striker that he used to be, and...

You will note I neither said that people shouldn't enjoy it when the going is good, nor did I mention about CCFC fans slamming those enjoying Rugby. You either mentioned this as its your party line, or you are trying to score one upmanship, thing is you are trying to the wrong person, preach to...
