I thought the boy at half time wasn't going to say anything - there seemed to be an almighty pause before he screeched his "Back the boys". They seem to be concentrating on the under 8s, thus trying to ensure that no expletives get shouted out!

I just wish they wouldn't bother.

I like my ear drums as they are, thanks very much.

I think maybe if they want to encourage kids (and their families) to go to more games they need to concentrate on an older age group. Nice though all this is if you're 8 or under, anyone older gets put off. I expect even the 10 year olds think it's babyish. If they could find something teenagers would enjoy - within reason - then the younger ones would think it was cool too. The younger ones already have Kingsley and can be mascots and have all the Young Royals stuff, they need something for the older ones - don't ask me what though.

Good idea.

Getting Kingsley dressed up in a Nike tracksuit, then running around stabbing people whilst listening to RnB out of a mobile should do the trick.

Stuff LI seems to work becasue most people appear to actually go to the rugby to have a good time.

Whereas too many people seem to go to the football to find something new to moan about !

Top class fight at the rugby, did all 30 manage to get there in time to have a go ? And all dealt with by 2 yellow cards and handshakes all round. Top entertainment.

It wasn't handshaking on the touchline!

Really was a great day out though, even with the cheesy Irish common tater!

Apparently the cardiff fans have been given wind of this and have something in store to take the piss on weds, you heard it here first.

I can't WAIT to see what 1,700 proper working class fans will do on Wednesday night. I'm looking forward to it with a mixture of fear and admiration in equal measure.

Perhaps we could play the muppets theme tune just before they read out the cardiff team like they did to us at Ninian Park. We should also play our national anthem.

But hearing their national anthem might inspire them?

What was there great piss-take? Did they think they were mocking us by not really making much noise until they scored?

I thought my ears were going to bleed. If they think some kid screeching down the mic is going to encourage the crowd to "back the boys & make some noise" any more than they already do, they're totally and utterly wrong. In fact, there seemed to be a moment of eerie silence straight after that girl did her bit. It's RUBBISH. Please stop it RFC.

I think they should turn the sound system down to save some money.

and SHAME ON READING FC

They issue a kiddies team with RFC flags to wave when the teams enter the pitch.

Then usher them off.....having firstly grabbed the "expensive" flags back :roll:


Surely to let them keep them..... to wave incessently for 90 minutes would be .....seen as far too generous....FFS Reading :arrow:

Out of interest, do the kiddies team also have to pay to be there?
