Dont think Pirates at home to Saracens is a foregone conclusion.

Saracens will struggle at Mennaye. Pirates are always difficult to beat at home.

I struggle to understand this attitude and can not believe for one moment any player in the Bedford Blues squad and including the Saints players or any the coaching staff would agree with you. Several times on here Bedford `supporters` have stated ` nothing to play for` ` why bother` . I believe you do your own team a massive injustice to assume that they will concede before stepping on to the pitch. Rugby teams pull off the most astounding victories against , on paper and form better teams and I believe that is one of the main reasons we love our sport. Some of us travel the length and breadth of the country to watch our team win or lose.

Totally agree with you, I would not expect capitulation and I travel all over the place to support the team.
I intend to Travel to Ealing for the second to last match of the season 22/05/21 if permitted, and hope to be playing a match to make it to the finals. If we lose it won’t be because we didn’t try

Thompson also played for Richmond before Jersey tempted him away. No doubt he'll be facing his old team in the friendly on Saturday. Not sure whether any of his old teammates are still playing.

The Pirates v Jersey match is streamed at 2pm. I think England have a match sometime after that.

I've wondered a few times if Ealing has suffered a bit in terms of attendance because visiting fans see the result as a foregone conclusion (at least over the past 3-4 seasons). For example, the London Scottish and Richmond games have not been especially well attended even though it is an easy 15-20 minute drive.

There are a lot of Championship clubs that don't have travelling support of any great numbers - not sure if this is the case with Richmond and Scottish (although I know we have welcomed supporters from both clubs at Donny - those could easily have been exiles). I just enjoy the game too much, so if the one who must be obeyed has not scheduled something on an away day I will try my hardest to go irrespective of the possible outcome.
It would have been good to see what crowds Sarries would have generated at away games - but as there will only be a few games where this is possible we won't really know unless they are beaten to the post and spend another season languishing in the Championship. But if that happens Donny will be in the premiership so we won't know for another year :-) .

So i thought I had a full list of all the players signed up or loan to Nottingham this season 41 of them.
However the team for Sunday has three new names I must have missed. Can anyone enlighten me? They are not on the website or in any announcements as far as I can see... Wing - Luke Mehson Centre - Will Simmonds Full Back - Ed Coulson Thanks |

Ed coulson had been at Bedford for a couple of years. The ultimate utility player having played every position between 10-15 and had also played minutes at scrum half and even flanker in his time here! Was forced to play a lot at fly half due to injuries so we maybe didn’t see the best of him, but I think full back is his best position. Played for Ampthill in pre season so I’d assumed he’d signed for them

Actually it turns out Simmonds has played for us before on loan from Wasps so thanks Google. I feel foolish not recognising the name now.
Mehson has come from Exeter so that is nice... |
