saint lard Posted 28 July, 2009 Share Posted 28 July, 2009 Excellent stuff,even though it will only be pool games should be good to feel part of the occasion. Good bit of revenue and free advertising for SFC and Southampton in general. For those uninitiated in the art of egg chasing it's bloody good entertainment,don't get to see Wasps play as much as i used too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edprice1984 Posted 28 July, 2009 Share Posted 28 July, 2009 Not sure what Rugger Buggers you have met but the ones round here (Gloucester) can certainly handle their drink. The one benefit is that Rugby fans don't insist on Beating the hell out of each other, and let the players do it on the pitch. I am a Saints fan and a Gloucester Rugby fan, Glos RFC are one of only two rugby only stadia outside of Twickenham to be used so I am very happy on two fronts. I get to see World class rugby on my doorstep and Saints will get a nice bit of extra revenue! This is brilliant and whoever was involved in arranging the use of SMS should be congratulated!

With the exception that of supporting bloody Gloucester,London Wasps all the way. Rugby fans are completely the opposite to football fans,the fact they can hold there beer and don't want to take on the world afterwards. Always had good banter at the rugby and never coupled with the threat of violence between opposing supporters. Don't knock it 'till you try it.

One reference demonstrates your ignorance of a great game, "Rugby Union played and supported almost exclusively by the upper & middle classes" you have obviously never been to many, if any rugby matches, try Gloucetser v Bath espeicially in the shed at Kingsholm or any Welsh game. As to the impact on the pitch I expect 2 games so it wont even notice. This is good news it can only raise the clubs profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people always have to pick holes in A POSITIVE! If you do not like Rugby then I suggest that you don't visit St Mary's or watch TV when the Rigby World Cup is on in 2015. Simple eh?

Kingsland Codger Posted 28 July, 2009 Share Posted 28 July, 2009 Rugby is utter gash - The only game when putting the ball out of play is actually desirable Kicking the ball into touch when desperate defence is called for isn't a reasonable tactic in football?
