  1. How dare you. The Cock is an excellent pub and a decent pint is under
  2. Given that we're not overflowing with clubs at any level of the game the demise of any team is a disaster.
  3. Not a question one hears very often.
  4. And time. If you started planning today and everything went beyond swimmingly your newly expanded ground would be ready for the 2014 season at the earliest.
  5. Ah, yes. Stadio Olympico (Stratford) (25,000) Also apparently Sutton United has a 7,000 capacity as well.
  6. For you, I suggest The Cock on Great Portland Street. Sam Smiths, you see.
  7. Just for a bit of context, here's a list of all the football grounds in London ranked by capacity. When stating your wild fantasy for which ground Harlequins - or a club renamed to suit your whim - should move to please refer to this list first: Wembley (90,000) Emirates (60,000) Stamford Bridge (42,000) White Hart Lane (36,000) Upton Park (35,000) Selhurst Park (29,000) The Valley (27,000) Craven Cottage (25,700) New Den Stadium (20,000) Loftus Road (18,000) Griffin Park (12,000) Brisbane Road (Leyton Orient) (9,000) Church Road (Hayes & Yeading FC) (6,500) Victoria Road (Dagenham) (6,000) Underhill (Barnet) (5.900) And for the more whimsical amongst you: Majedski (24,000) Stadium MK (22,000) Vicarage Road (19,000) Kassam (12,500)
  8. I'll be in the clubhouse at Chesham United. If you do come along please don't mention the score.
  9. Harsh words.
  10. Like I'd move to Hook (Hampshire).
  11. No Boris bikes were hurt during the making of this film Plus you get to see part of the view from my office window.
  12. They lost money because of their #### ground - and potentially (nobody's answered) for the costs of building a new one. Something you bang on about every other week whilst threatening to relegate them and Bradford.
  13. Fair enough. I suspect we'll be fielding Skolars' reserve thirteen next season with you as coach.
  14. Have they? I'm sure the last time I looked we were nowhere near but then the accounts always seem a bit opaque to me. Either way, McDermott going to be an assistant coach somewhere else is pretty damning of the way resources are likely to be heading.
  15. They've sent people over to Oz before when they just had highlights so I can't see why they wouldn't this time.
  16. Presumably some of that loss is explained by the costs of planning and building said new ground.
  17. I am very pleased to see you recognise the London Borough of Haringey as a traditional rugby league area.
  18. Had one of them Muslims on a scholarship placement for the past few weeks. He was very calmly describing how sometimes he can't phone his grandparents because they live in Lebanon near the border with Israel and sometimes there are too many bombs going off. Then there was the one time he was there in Lebanon and there was a skirmish between different militias. I tell you, the impact of my "nightmare Bakerloo Line journey" story was sadly diminished that day.
  19. Very sad news - thoughts with the Cullen family. RIP.
  20. The final has always gone to replay. If only Sinfield had taken the two ...
  21. That place is awesome. I've wasted so much time there.
