Round 9

For my bias opinion.

Blues 5 - 2 Coventry

The older I get, the more the RFU leave me confused.

Appears most matches are weekend 12/13 January.

Not involved in predictions game.

But New Years Day Bedford v Coventry.

Blues have posted on Social Media, 500 tickets left. Glad to see a good festive crowd coming for this one.

However it seems mad, when the RFU want a professional league, that this weekend and next no matches are being played. Leaving a three week gap.

Although welcome that Blues are playing the 1st. It is then nearly three weeks until we play again.

If the RFU cannot organise a fixture list, how can we trust them to run a fully professional league?

I think there was meant to be a Christmas break, but Blues requested the game be brought forward, as I think Coventry delayed their game to maximise money.

Ironically it feels like Blues have been on a break for quite a lot of the season, we are just lucky the fixture list was more home games than away and also Ampthill making it virtually another home game! The RFU can't be blamed for a club failing or the weather in Caldy.

Bedford 5 - 2 Coventry

Word amongst friends in MK is Bedford sold this out a few weeks ago so surprised to hear tickets available.

Ground entry tickets are still available online - it's decades since I went to Goldington Road, I assume the view is poor, if at all.

When I looked recently there were 9 seats in the stand.

There are a few extra areas that are stepped up now but you still want to be there early for a better view.

Just wish I could be there, but reducing mobility means a no no for away games.

Should be a cracker & you will not be surprised I am going for a 2 - 5. Alex Rae & Co well up for this .

And the winners go top in this bizarre season fixture wise.

View depends on how tall you are + how early you arrive. The shorter, the earlier, the better… Embarrassed

I will hopefully get a decent view of the first half….a trip to the toilets at half time might alter that in the second.

I think capacity is 5,000 so can’t get to Cov’s even when we sell the now 300 tickets remaining.

Someone else thought our capacity had been reduced to 4,500. Guess we’ll find out in a couple of days.

Having been to GR quite a few times I struggle to see how it was ever licensed for 5000.

That's not to be derogatory; just a reflection of the effect of having one small grandstand, and limited raised standing.

Cov's bad enough with a far larger stand.
