when did a hedge fund ever ‘sort anything out’ they just create
more debt ie AA, Boots I could go on!

to keep the place up to scratch and that aint cheap.

Wasn't there something a week or two back that the roofs
(rooves?) have got to be replaced at a cost of £x million?
The new East stand hospitality stuff is not selling out as they
would wish it. At £1500 a seat, I am not surprised!

Yes, I belive you do remember rightly and it chimes with what
I'm hearing. The latter bit on hospitality - who'd have thought
it. There's certainly a market for hospitality but as usual it
seems like providers have gone mad with pricing. I'm certainly
getting more calls this year from people trying to sell
hospitality - not just at Twickenham but at football and cricket
as well.

Indeed, it'll cost about £25m to repair.replace the roof over
N/W/W stands. Although I'm *sure* that this isn't a surprise.
These structures have a finite life & that would have been in
the calendar for ages. Plus, you only have to look up at the
roofs to see the difference between the one over the South Stand
and the other three!

That is because the roof of the South stand is of a different
construction from the other stands. It has more translucence to
allow a greater amount of sunlight through.

Dean Ryan has opened his mouth in S.Times about the reason he
has left rfu. Does not have a development department or budget
anymore. No longer a pathway for young players and no
development for young coaches.

Until the RFU council change their ways and accept that we’re
not in the amateur era any more these perpetual struggles will
continue and the game will suffer.

They should withdraw Gin rations until this is properly sorted.
