Welcome all to Rodney Parade. Yet again I have organised some bad weather for us. As a team we have decided that we play better in adverse conditions, so those people not under cover just buy a more expensive ticket please and stop moaning.
Uncertainty has been the theme in the changing rooms of late. Questions about when we will play our rearranged fixtures. Questions about the new players joining the club. Will Ashley ever die his hair back to it's original ginger colour? I would like you all to know that Kevin Morgan has all of the answers. Currently he is charging £3 per answer, so feel free to quiz him.
Otherwise, no news is good news. Well, except for me getting into trouble at a recent schools visit calling a kid "fatty"...well he did annoy me and he was fat. Sadly said young man now refuses to join in with PE saying "That stupid fuzzy headed rugby player is an offensive tool". "Stick and stones " I say.
Finally it would be remiss of me to not mention the 30 club. Nick "FOB" Fitz and Steve "Jabba" Jones both recently hit the milestone 30 years of age. So from the squad we wish them well. Sadly, Fitzy is leaving us at the end of the season so we will not get the opportunity to celebrate his 30th birthday yet again in 2009. Welcome to senior citizen rugby fellas (members include myself, Kev Morgan, Blackie, Joe Bearman and Richard Fussell) where you get to eat biscuits and drink tea while the rest of the squad train.
So folks.....please make the supporter who has travelled from Ireland welcome, sit back (cheapskates stand) and enjoy the rugby on this lovely spring evening.
