Hope the weather's better where you are Simon. Have the locals finished licking their wounds, or have they all taken up 'Rules' now? ;o)
I missed the match on Saturday (house hunting in Chapelfields/Coundon!) so can't really comment. However, the feeling is that morale is rather shot at the moment, which is sad and strange considering the very resilient performance that they put in at Worcester the other week.
Like Al, I can't see the club being relegated, but it could be touch & go at the death.
It seems odd that now the team is practically full time, the performance levels seem to have gone downhill. I guess the fact that several players are pissed-off that they have to make a choice between full-time footy on non-prem wages, and their secure jobs, doesn't help, and I'd bet on a lot more comings & goings in the near future. I'd probably feel the same. There is already at least one casualty in a young and highly promising prop (who has understudied England props at the top level) who would rather carry on in his cable TV call-centre job than play full time. Doesn't say much, does it? God, I love this club - but I also despair deeply of it at times.
Current rumours/conjecture lead to the belief that the stadium will open for the home game against Wuss in April, with an 'Official Opening' against European Champs (and fellow Peugeot-shirts) Toulouse in August/September. Lets hope we are safe by then.
I'll also take this opportunity to apologise for the lack of updates to this site, which probably leads to the lack of use of this board. Those that know me, know that I have quite a few other things going on in my life at the mo which take priority over mere football. Hopefully I can put some of that behind me soon though, and develop the site a bit more and install a decent board while I'm at it.
Meanwhile, Simon, I don't know if you are aware of the existence of a ND1 board hosted by Richard Lowther at Wakey. Unfortunately just lately, all they seem to be able to do is play at predictions, which I find very boring. However, it CAN be quite lively, and is a good place to wind-up Bedford fans if you feel like it ;o). Unfortunately you can only wind-up one Wuss fan as the rest of them feel it's beneath them. Nothing new there then eh?
It's at www.leaguerugby.tk
Cheers, Steve
