  13. I'm always amazed how these things leak to the press
  14. Would this not solely be down to Mansion Bet? Obviously they are using us to promote their business, but I'm not sure our club would have had much if any involvement in another businesses ad campaign I do wonder if Mansion Bet are doing similar campaigns in areas around where they sponsor other sides?

  18. Thirteen Barbarians players have been charged by the Rugby Football Union after last Sunday's game against England was cancelled because of coronavirus protocol breaches. Players face a range of charges including "individual breaches of the protocols" and "providing false statements during an investigation", the RFU said. BBC Sport understands former England captain Chris Robshaw, who was among the players who apologised for the breach, is one of the players charged. Richard Wigglesworth, Sean Maitland, Jackson Wray, Manu Vunipola, Tim Swinson, Calum Clark, Tom de Glanville, Joel Kpoku, Simon Kerrod, Fergus McFadden, Juan Pablo Socino and Alex Lewington are the other players charged. It is not clear which charges relate to which players. Rugby is a laughing stock - Jones England head coach Eddie Jones, whose side can win the Six Nations this weekend, said: "We understand that rugby at the moment is a bit of a laughing stock and we all love the game. "No-one likes to see a game called off because of a breakdown in the protocols in society at the moment. That's what happened. "It's not good for rugby, but we have got an opportunity to turn that around. It's a weight we carry and it's a weight that we will enjoy carrying. "We are lucky enough to play the game at the highest level and we want to make sure we put the game back where it needs to be. "We have a great game in rugby and we don't like to see it portrayed as something that isn't a serious sport, as it has been." The cancellation of the England v Barbarians game cost the RFU around £1million in lost broadcast and sponsorship revenue, as well as a chance for England to warm-up for Saturday's clash with Italy in Rome. England's Jonny Hill to make debut against Italy RFU warns of £145m in lost revenue because of Covid-19 pandemic The RFU - English rugby's governing body - said it would only publish players' names after the hearings because of the public scrutiny. It said that breaches of protocols included leaving the hotel without permission or without informing organisers of their whereabouts. The players left their hotel bubble - contrary to team protocols - to have dinner, and a number of players also went to a central London pub. Players may face fines, match bans "or any other suitable sanction", but there will be no police investigation into their actions. The game's cancellation means England go into their final Six Nations fixture against Italy on Saturday having not played a competitive match since March.

  19. Holders Exeter will begin their Champions Cup defence with challenging group-stage matches against Toulouse and Glasgow when next season's new-look competition begins in December. Chiefs won the tournament for the first time earlier in October and will play those two sides home and away. The new format - enforced by the pandemic and only for the 2020-21 season - features two pools of 12. The four highest-ranked clubs in each pool will reach the quarter-finals. The quarter-finals will be played over two legs and the clubs ranked fifth to eighth in each pool will drop into the knockout stage of the European Challenge Cup. The opening round of games will take place 11-13 December. Alongside Premiership winners Exeter in Pool B, Pro14 finalists Ulster face Gloucester and four-time winners Toulouse in their group games. In Pool A, Pro14 champions Leinster will play Montpellier and Northampton, while Harlequins and Connacht have been drawn against last season's runners-up Racing 92. Premiership runners-up Wasps play Dragons and Montpellier, while Munster face Quins and Clermont. Clubs only play opponents in the same pool but cannot play other teams from the same domestic league. Fixture dates Round One - 11-13 December 2020 Round Two - 18-20 December 2020 Round Three - 15-17 January 2021 Round Four - 22-24 January 2021 Quarter-finals first leg - 2-4 April 2021 Quarter-finals second leg - 9-11 April 2021 Semi-finals - 30 April - 1/2 May 2021 Final - 22 May, Stade Velodrome, Marseille
  20. Manchester United have modified Old Trafford to accommodate 23,500 socially distanced spectators, and say they are "bemused" by the ongoing ban on fans at stadiums. The government had proposed crowds be gradually reintroduced from the start of October but made a U-turn following a rise in coronavirus cases. "We received government guidelines," said Collette Roche, United's chief operating officer. "I'm convinced that we would be able to [accommodate fans] safely." Last month, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the new restrictions were likely to remain in place for the next six months. The financial impact of the pandemic has severely affected several sports and teams, including United who suffered a £70m drop in expected revenue in the period to 30 June 2020 as a direct result of it. Roche told Sky Sports News: "It's quite bemusing to understand why people can gather in other settings such as on an aeroplane or in a restaurant, or even in a cinema to watch football, when we know we've got the plans and the process is ready to deliver a match day here safely. "We spent around two months working with the government guidelines to develop the right processes and measures to make sure that we can have around 23,500 people in this stadium safely social distancing." She added that United had plans to introduce staggered arrival times for fans and temperature checks before entry to minimise risks. Earlier in October, Premier League chief executive Richard Masters said clubs had been punished by a "quadruple whammy" over the continuing ban. He told the Times: "Firstly that the optimism of 1 October has been taken away; secondly that there will be a sports bailout but that it wouldn't include football; thirdly that the Premier League will be expected to secure the future of the EFL while dealing with the implications of having no fans until possibly March; finally the opening up of entertainment arenas within sometimes a couple of miles of football grounds without any road map for the return of football supporters."

  21. Many Rovers fans I know are having complete melt downs on social media about the 20 years lol
  22. Marking a pitch doesn't take long, and swapping the posts would be easily done in a couple of hours I bet if they really wanted to they could hold one on an evening and the other the following day I'm not sure what logistically needs changing aside from the pitch
