We haven't  got a " money man" but just look at where we are without all of that, we get a decent crowd on a Saturday who are very thirsty and chuck a fair few quid behind the bar and our superb clubhouse  is hired out regularly
Don't get me wrong I'd  love it for our players and coaches to get a few quid, they deserve it....but it just ain't there to be had, what boils my pee is when some club's say they don't pay but we all know they do by various "pretend" coach methods etc. Anyway I digress
If we tried to charge £7.50 for people to get into hooks lane then you'd get told to "F" off... or something similarly spiceyBig smile

Havant pay their players. I know that for a fact.

Very nice ground and a great club set up.

I love this 'I know more about what's going on at your club than you do'.  Frankly, I don't give a hoot who pays players and who doesn't, as long as they're living within their means - I don't want another club to go through what we've been through, as most clubs don't have the support base to enable them to rebuild the way that we have.  And it annoys me that I have to keep clarifying our amateur status, especially for those who think that the only reason their teammates are dropping down a level is because they're getting paid to do so, or that winning promotion is proof that you pay players.

On Monday 8 August at a meeting of the RFU ACMSC (Adult Competitions Management Sub Committee) called to consider a request by London & SE ROC to postpone all games on the 3 September the decision was deferred by one week to Monday 15th August.

The RFU will be making further announcements via game updates during this week.

Please refer to your League Secretary, Constituent Body Representatives on the ROC or Council Members for more information.

National League matches will go ahead unless a pitch inspection, under the existing RFU Rules, deems the pitch unplayable.

I can only assume this is because of the dry weather and hosepipe ban affecting hard pitches ,but even so, surely this is a bit early to predict the weather in 3 to 4 weeks time...or at any stage in England?

Yes, it’s the dry weather and lack of rain. Ironically our main pitch has been relaid with a sprinkler system this summer but the grass growth has been restricted so we are cancelling anything due before 10th September. We have 2 other pitches that have had drainage put in them LOLLOL and the grass has yet to grow back, 2 more which have not been watered and are like concrete. Our new 6th pitch has been delayed until the ground is soft enough to dig!!

That's probably for the best as those with 4G pitches (or their friendly opponents) would be at a bit of an advantage over those who had no pre-season

I was wondering, looking at the lower leagues, it seems that Jersey Athletic have done a London Irish/London Welsh and split from their parents to become a legally separate club and are positioned in Counties 1 Hampshire (level 7 in old money). I wonder if they are there because of the Reds' Hampshire RFU membership or if in future, they will do a Guernsey and use Gatwick Airport as their "home" ground for geographical allocation purposes.

Will be looking for a hole in the fence when I go there then😂
Hole in the fence might end up costing more than £7.50  Tony Tongue
Best of luck today

Fiver to get in at Maidenhead this afternoon.  Reckon we might have been a bit optimistic with our estimates of pricing across the league!

First ever trip to Banbury, they've  got a decent set up. A good crowd saw a clinical performance by our boys, we took our chances well and deserved the win

Quite surprised by the Maidenhead  result !!
