Not sure how they've bent the rule book. With Yorks run in, think they'll probably finish 5th though, so 6th isn't outrageous and I'm sure plenty of our young players will have learnt a lot this season. Get the FB situation sorted and hopefully have a consistent 6/7,s should see us improve.

The play-offs aren't completely out of reach just yet.

Well, I'm sure he can answer for himself but I'd guess he meant to say that York had bucked the odds, rather than bent the rule book and I'd have to agree with that - they've definitely overperformed this season after getting promoted.

Wonder how they'd have gone on without the D/R and loanees though? I prefer our way of using our own players. We know where we are at. Otherwise, I'd agree with you about our position - pretty much where I'd hope we'd be. In the five was always a very best position at best and certainly never expected by me.

I've heard lots of rumours about a agreement whereby if CBMDC move us out they need to provide us with another place/stadium to move to.

1) Anyone know if this actually exists
2) As they don't own VP can they force us there if the agreement exists?

It does exist, and the alternative accommodation has to be a min. 16K stadium within 5 miles. I have no idea, though, where that could be.

I calculated on the back of a fag packet that if you travelled at 99.9999% light speed then it is less than 5 miles to the Nou Camp, but I'm not convinced the old bus is up to it.

Come now old bean! This is the age of DePfeffel Johnson, we just have to remember the empire, believe hard enough and be chirpily optimistic about everything! We shall have clean water and mars bars!!!!!

Having wwatched the full game back last night, with more integration into the team I dont think we should be looking further than Brown at FB for now. He linked really well into the line and showed good links with Joe. Can only improve the more he plays

We should move to Horton Cricket Ground. It's where we played our first game, failing that we could move to Apperley Bridge, then Park Avenue then Dudley Hill just to see history repeat itself.

No problem, I won't repeat what he said out of respect but made interesting reading.
