In answering questions raised in this thread.
i - Tantallon is the best ground in suburban rugby union. For those who are complaining about the surface, you have obviously not been their since the millions spent on it over the last few years. Not to mention our grandstand, canteen, dressing rooms, new fence. To suggest it is anywhere near the worst ground in subbies rugby is so ridiculous that I am almost 100% you are joking. It is a treasure to play on the ground.
ii - The Epping #9 has not come across to Lane Cove, although with the weekend off I may have missed some developments. I have not had anyone contact me regarding him playing for us though.
Dearest Bundaddy,
When you jump on your high horse and try to "shame" all the other clubs who aren't as "successful" as you are, you leave yourself open to ridicule.
Not all clubs are in the fortunate position of being located on the wealthy north shore and do not have councils who are willing to spend huge amounts of money on facilities. IF, and it's a big IF, Lane Cove were responsible for sourcing all the finances to pay for those facilities, my hat goes off to you. I guess that's the joy of living in a wealthy area with access to wealthy benefactors. Spare a thought for the rest of us who don't have access to those resources. And before you tell us to work harder on sponsorship etc, remember that there aren't a whole heap of wealthy bogans out there who are willing to dump cash into suburban rugby. Just ask Pfitzy
I think you need to have a laugh at the banter and recognise that there may be a little jealousy mixed in there. It's called the tall poppy syndrome, (though in this case perhaps I'll just call it the poppy syndrome) and it's an Australian past time. It's also great fun.
Love from,
All clubs not residing on the North Shore.
P.S. congrats on the fence.... be sure to add it to your 2018 recruitment material.
