ROCKET-BOWL III ~ Oct 22/23 2011, Leicester

[Pug]

NOBODY DROP OUT!!!!

[Pug]

Forgot to mention
VMCAT is in + Meal-Deal
PAID & PAID a couple of days ago making 30 players.....

Bro' Munson on the bench if needed *sigh!*

[Pug]

A-WOOOOOOGA!....A-WOOOOGA!....A-WOOOGA!

THERE IS AN EMERGENCY GOING ON!...........

DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE EVENT IS BEING HELD AT A RUGBY UNION PUB AND THAT THE FINAL OF THE RFU WORLD CUP IS BEING HELD ON THE 23RD OF OCTOBER, THE PUB WILL BE HEAVING.........ESPECIALLY IF ENGLAND ARE IN THE FINALS.

THIS MEANS THAT A MAJOR DECISION NEEDS TO BE MADE BY THE PLAYERS ATTENDING AND PAID UP FOR THE RB3 TOURNAMENT.

WE NEED EITHER TO...
1) REDUCE THE RB3 TO A 5 GAME TOURNI AND SACRIFICE THE 1ST GAME OF SUNDAY DUE TO THE PUB BEING FULL OF BEER SWILLING RUGBY FANS..OR...

2) PLAY ON REGARDLESS, AND PLAYERS FACE THE WRATH OF A PUB FULL OF BURLY RUGBY SUPPORTERS AND PLAY OUT IN THE STREET OR IN THE CAR PARK

...THIS IS A COMPLETE FEKING, SPANNER IN THE WORKS, FOR ALL OF US, AND MY APOLOGISE TO ALL CONCERNED OVER THIS MATTER.


i SHALL BE CONTACTING THE NAF OVER THE POSSIBLE SITUATION CHANGE JUST INCASE IT AFFECTS THE RUBBER STAMPING OF THE EVENT.

TO BE HONEST I REALLY DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THE CONFLICT A YEAR AGO, AND JUST BEEN TAKEN BE SURPRISE BY IT.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW (THOSE AFFECTED) OF YOU OPINION..............

AS A COMMUNITY HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO DECIDE ON THIS TURN OF EVENTS????............

[Penwaaagh]

A rugby fan forgetting about the World Cup! Shame on you!

TBH It should in theory be done by 10AM? Could we not start 1/2 hr later? Else its got to be drop 1st match on the Sunday hasn't it?

[antipixi]

Pug, are the pub cool with (I seem to remember BRFC use it) it being the RWC final that weekend? I think it's a 9am kickoff. Might put a dint in our start time?

Phil spotted it a while back!

[tiamo69]

I'd play things by ear & see how group matches & knock out stages go...

We either drop 1st match, play outside in smoking area or start later...

After1st match Kiwi's v keen to make that Final!

PS: PLUG (not Pug)
will take payments for Brewer's Bowl at RB3!

[Purplegoo]

I imagine it will be busy whoever makes it, Leicester being a rugby town.
Pug, what about 4 games Saturday, everyone watch the game and 2 Sunday? Obvious issues include a great final the pub goers make into a session and getting 4 played in a day. The Tigers are not on telly that weekend, and the 3rd place playoff is on the Friday, so at least we avoid those issues! I suppose you could also sound out the scout hut for a mornings use if we're stuck?

[Pug]

good points everyone. I shall look into options

[tiamo69]

Pug

Well u can't shift the Rugby World Cup Final...

But, on the strength of this morning's performance, we won't have to worry about England being in the Final!

Especially if Eng give that many penalties & Jonny can't find his kicking boots!

[Pug]

Fekin hell what a dire scrappy game :s
Wilko needs to SHSO! Would of been better pushing for a try or 2 from those penalties.....

[TalonBay]

I'd have thought the pub will be full of rugby fans at least until lunchtime, possibly longer if there's something to celebrate or commiserate.

[Purplegoo]

What about the Bowls club? I bet they’d be open anyway later on the Sunday.

[Pug]

Wightlord is out....work issue...

down to 29

Bro' Munsen of the MK Massive is in!

Back to 30 again!

FULL!


..still working on RU WC problem....

[Boneless]

I could be tempted with this one. How much space is left?

[Pug]

None at the moment chief fully booked out at 30, unless to want to play dead mans boots and *ahem* "Remove" a player before the event!....and possibly a shuffle in game schedule due to Rugby Union World Cup Final on the Sunday morning, and venue being a rugby pub.
