So there'll be 13000 more empty seats then. I think the absolute ceiling of home fans is about 50,000, and I don't see that happening to be honest. Not sure how many Saints will bring but I doubt it will be 30000 to 40000. Our ceiling is probably somewhere around 25K (maybe 30K) if tix were suffici...

No chance this will be beaten I think. 2009 was about 50,000 Munster 30,000 Leinster for the most bitter local derby ever. The Aviva last week was 51,000, going to guess 50,000 of those were Leinster, almost but not quite a sellout. Can't see Leinster doing that number again, not disrespect to Sain...

Here we are, 3 days on, and no citing for Yeandle. Of course I've got no idea of his motivation, but I find it remarkable how people on the internet seem to have: a) Read his mind b) Decided it was easy to perform that at full match pace while clearing a ruck Bit of a nothingburger for me.

For reference, Saints "pre-allocation" of tickets is 10K. On sale from 10am Thursday to anyone signed up to the club mailing list. Any tickets not sold by 10am Friday will go back into the general sale pool.

That's what I initially thought he might get out of this. Now I'm not so sure it'll even be that much.

Given that there's only one or two stadia that even occasionally hold a rugby match that are any bigger, this would be true of virtually any team.

Agreed. They'll need to tighten up considerably. Have they done that this year? They can and have done it this season. But not against what is basically an international side. I can only see this going one way. Yep. Saints have had a good run. Saints defence has come on leaps and bounds over the co...

Best of luck getting a hotel room in Dublin that weekend. Europa league finals in Dublin same weekend.

Massive win for Saints. Previously this season when we've not been at the races we've folded, and badly at that. This time we stood up and found a way to win, regardless of the quality of the opposition. This was a huge step forwards for a very young squad

Saint

What happens in England training where a SH who spends all his seconds getting the ball out as fast sa possible (to the detriment of quality sometimes) starts calling for forwards to make the caterpillar? Based on his play today Mitchell doesn't even make the bench at Saints

Freeman would cover 13 just as well. Freeman looks like a 13 to me rather than an out and out wing. Would be interesting to see him at 13 and a lump like Muir on the left wing. Freeman is a unit for sure. When hou look at Freeman at Saints, his position floats a lot, but he rarely actually plays on...

I don't know... which is why i asked the question. Once the RFU denied both clubs appeals for a "no-fault" insolvency claim they both lost their P-shares. I believe the same is true of LI.

🤣🤣🤣 Meh. I've seen us get promoted three times, demoted twice. We're going to finish at worst 5th this season, and most fans would describe it as a bad year.

Russian artillery was accurate enough to smash German tanks 80 years ago…. I’m certain Russia is good enough to use obstacles to control where enemy armour will congregate and then focus accurate artillery on predetermined fire positions. My understanding of the Gulf Wars was that overwhelming air ...

Saint

A 152 shell will end a tank and Russia has lots of them. There seems to be a belief that 100 odd NATO tanks and a few hundred AFVs will cut the Russian lines up like butter. It’s not one I share. NATO armour might be better but it’s not magical; especially without the air power that NATO would have...

I don’t know about that. Mines and artillery chew tanks up. At this stage I doubt that there's much if any Russian artillery to worry a Leo2/C2. Mines I would agree with, but only to a point.

Not happening, unfortunately. Don't meet the criteria.

I don't know - but you need to be playing top flight rugby before you can play the geographic card. Playing championship rugby in the premiership isn't an answer to spreading the game geographically Did you think Northampton were a championship club when Saracens beat Saints 13-57, 62-14 and 13-63 ...

Weird logic. So multiple clubs are going under and the problem is that Falcons are being run on a shoestring? Conversely, it may be that they are trying to operate in a way so that they can stay afloat. Last night's result was terrible for us but long term survival has to be more important than shi...

Newcastle are essentially a championship team playing in the prem. Just about hanging on financially They've clearly decided to run the club on a shoestring in response to the lack of relegation.

It's not RPGs that are a real threat, it's ATGMs. And he didn't mean the Ukrainians would send tanks in without infantry support, he was just making a point that Western tanks are massively less vulnerable that ex-Soviet due to much better armour.

On all but the most modern T-72 variants if a Leopard 1A5 sees them first they'll kill them with any shot bar on frontal armour. They'll kill any T-62, T-55, or IFV/APC. They also have far better mobility than all Soviet-style tanks and a stabilised gun which allows firing on the move. Armour is th...

In a surprising turn of events, Dominion and Fox agree to settle for $787.5 million. Fox release a statement acknowledging that claims they made on air were false.

Russia has little to nothing working left. They've lifted a lot into orbit over time, but little of it recently; most of the stuff they have up there is old, poor quality, end of life, or all three.
