I think im right in saying that an St Marys is going to be used for couple of the pool stages, happy days and well done to them for putting us forward.

 

Lets hope it happens

olympics 2012 - are we still sucking up to the Chinese team hoping they will stay at the DeVere and train up the sports centre?

 

There could be some awesome demos and protests in and around the Bargate.

Why?

Why?

 

Have you been living in a cave since Tiananmen Square, or don't you get Newspapers in deepest, darkest Warwick?

not sure what having a Demo against Chinese athletes will do other than make Southampton look rather daft and a bunch of Yoghurt knitters

2012 - Swiss Equestrian team will be training at St Mary's.

2018 - Markus & Co will rattle the City Council to become a host city.I'm sure his family will find a crane or two to help put up a new stand or so at SMS in double quick time if required.

 

Sorted.

Agreed, but we have more students than Oxford nowadays and they have a lot of time to kill. They would get hard just just thinking about *it.

 

"it + showing solidarity with their Tianamnan soulmates.

I read today that the recommended venues to host the 2015 RWC are being put forward to a board meeting next week.

 

Assume that St Mary's is still one of the venues?

[Dimond Geezer]

Certainly hope so. I'm looking forward to it.

Reading about this in variuos papers this morning including

 

http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/sep/17/england-tests-away-twickenham-2015

 

St Mary's doesn't get a mention and may not figure, and it seems that some premier league managers are opposed to it as the RWC is from 18 September to 31 October 2015 with the possibility/probability of the pitches being damaged.

 

I'd still love to see it at SMS but will be interesting to see how they fit the games around the football fixtuers.
