Having bemoaned elsewhere the lack of rugby at Castle Park across this period - one home game in December and one in January with six weeks between them - it just made me wonder. Kimbo rightly pointed out the pathetic and frankly irresponsible fixture planning by the RFU at this level. Since I am innately lazy and can't be bothered to consult the full fixture matrix, how are other teams faring? ------------- "May the farce be RFU." |

| Ealing had a game against Coventry on 2nd November and then nothing until 30th November. Painful. And I've just noticed that we somehow only have one home game in January as well. FFS. |

| Blues has a home league game on 9th November, 1 cup game on 7th December before the next league game on Boxing Day. Mind you the way we are playing it's a bit of a relief!! |

London Scottish had a league game against Pirates at Home on 15th November. We don't have another home game until 10th January ! You couldn't make it up  As many of you will know, there are tried and tested formulae around which can put out fixtures in a fair and meaningful way for teams ....... until interference gets in the way. Then the problems start ! Whilst the RFU won't get a grip on this, they are heavily swayed by various club individuals. The ultimate power in this seems to lie with the chairman of the Championship Clubs Committee. End of. ------------- The Inner Game Will Win Every Time |

One thing is for sure Albert, there will be a lot more attending on Saturday than the 247 last week. Looking forward to the "trip" ------------- Bedford Blues Supporter of the Year 2010 - 2011 |
