Week One 1st / 2nd November 

There are some tasty fixtures coming up - issues include DR (regrettably) but main interest, for me, is Caldy at home to Newcastle. Caldy are quite capable of turning over higher clubs but then Newcastle went and beat Exeter. Caldy's performance will be interesting, notwithstanding their bottom position especially after their decent showing against Coventry. Saints fixture also looks tasty - but it's Premiership clubs so doesn't count WinkWink)

Pirates v Exeter (possible DR issues??)

Doncaster v Sale (testing for Doncaster)

Northampton v Leicester (home win)

Nottingham v Coventry (Cov looking to make a point)

Ampthill v Bath (good gate £ for Amps as Bedford are far away)

Caldy v Newcastle Falcons (chance for Caldy)

London Scottish v Harlequins (possible DR issues)

Hartpury RFC v Gloucester (possible DR issues)

Bristol v Bedford Blues (tough nut for Blues to crack)

Ealing Trailfinders v Saracens (Ealing have point to make)

The Pirates v Exeter game is sold out! A good result for the club whatever happens on the field.

From a Chinnor point of view, waiting to hear how much compensation Chinnor and Cambridge will received for their loss of income after being shafted...........

Shame on all the Championship clubs for gleefully taking the money..........

I feel your pain and think it's a disgrace the way Chinnor and Cambridge were treated. But this is the reality of where we are.

Looking at the fixtures above it's going to be an extraordinary day at the tills for a few Championship clubs. Confused Not sure what parking Ampthill have in place.

Same as usual; zero

It is also not a town blessed with large amounts of car parking

Should be an interesting day for residents

Can't remember the number(s), but there was a perfectly decent bus service from Flitwick Station, and I believe Bedford too, for those prepared to devise their own park 'n' ride options, or indeed to train the whole way (2' 56" from Bath Spa according to Trainline)
