Don't forget folks, a big event in International rugby will be taking place this coming Friday (11th March) when Newbury RFC host the England Under 20's match against Scotland. Kick off is 8pm. They're expecting approx 3,000 spectators. If it doesn't float your boat then I'd suggest you avoid the area.
Let's hope it doesn't rain as there's only cover on one side of the pitch It's £12 on the night (£8 for students/concessions and Under 10s get in free) |

It's good that they let the under 10's in free.

Here's hoping for a big crowd. Good luck to all at Monks Lane, hosting events like this are a credit to the town.

(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. |

What would Alex Salmond make of that........? |

Under 20's is not top flight by any means when we talk about football.
