    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.

    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...

    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'...

    Good deals on next season's STs. I'll be renewing mine before the end of May! Season Tickets – Coventry Rugby

    CRFC vs Wasps - It's happening!

    They lost, but it would have been a shock if they hadn't. The first half was poor, but a huge improvement in the second.

    And you should see the state of the pitch following today's game... The mudbath continues.

    CRFC vs Wasps - It's happening!

    On the subject of big crowds, Cov are expecting a big one for the final game of the season against Hull Ionians. The current National 1 record stands at 3,648, set by Jersey about six years ago, so that's the target. It's doable. Very. So, if anyone fancies it - it's a great way to spend a...

    CRFC vs Wasps - It's happening!

    Personally, I'd be very happy to see as many CCFC fans there as possible - with the rider that they behave as adults, and not as complete arseholes. I've supported Cov since about 1966, but only had a season ticket since 1996 (when I started taking the kids along; it was a bargain way of doing...
