QUOTE (Richard Garvie @ Mar 8 2011, 09:16 AM) Here's hoping for a big crowd. Good luck to all at Monks Lane, hosting events like this are a credit to the town. You going then?

QUOTE (Strafin @ Mar 8 2011, 07:35 AM) It's good that they let the under 10's in free. Normally it's under 16s that get in for free at Monks Lane, but as this international is organised by the RFU they dictate the pricing structure.

(It's not 100% I might add, before some wag posts a funny... I think when the Under 18 International was held at Monks Lane against France the club got just under 50% of gate receipts) But no matter... Every Little Helps (keep the taxman at bay) The club has to organise parking, stewarding , ticket collection etc but hopefully there are enough club volunteers to sort this out) Bar takings, food etc will go to the club.

Have the club tried the local TA for parking and stewarding? They do a lot of the football conference teams parking and stewarding, and usually for a reasonably small donation.

QUOTE (Strafin @ Mar 11 2011, 09:51 PM) Under 20's is not top flight by any means when we talk about football. You're right, "top flight" generally refers to the top division and international teams generally don't play in a league.
