Time to drop London Irish?

[No Fixed Abode]

Why do they never announce how many English trained horses have won at Cheltenham?

Yeh, annoys the hell out of me.

I used to have a season ticket for the egg-chasing, now I barely go at all (twice in the three years or something), but they may as well stay, just cos we have money doesn't mean we shouldn't bring in more.
On the name issue, two other London clubs are simply known as Harlequins and Saracens, and the Welsh teams are just known by there nicknames nowadays. So they should just call themselves "Exiles", lose the embarassing "not nots" tag but still keep their heritage.

London Welsh still exist and play in London, as do London Scottish. They may not be in the premier league but they are still there.

Correct me if I am wrong but London Irish, London Scottish and Richmond, what was left of it, merged when Richmond went bust. London Scottish reformed and are making their way back up the leagues.

That's about right. Well, the final sentence is.

^ previous problems with the pitch were due to an infection of some fungus and overzealous use of weed killer.

Aren't you confusing that with the legendary blunder at Elm Park by Gordon Neate?

That was a good one. How to completely destroy a fotball pitch a week or so before the season starts. If I recall, we were about to negotiate a month's delay for our opening home games (by swapping the home and away fixtures with those clubs ?) while the new turf settled - but in the end the pitch was playable in time.

Football >>>>> Rugby

Not too sure if the pitch is better due to the fact we have had hardly any rain this last 6 months, and the pitch hasnt been soggy for the egg chasing neanderthals to mess it up. Or if the ground staff have got rid of the disease that was killing the grass, it was looking fantastic on Saturday. If this is how its going to be from now on then i have no problem with the rugby being played there.
