A big thank you!

THANK you for your support last weekend the people of Nottingham really made a difference.

 

I can safely say that the Nottingham crowd went home satisfied on Sunday after an outstanding game of rugby at Meadow Lane.  In last week’s column I called for the support of the Nottingham crowd and you certainly delivered.

 

To run out in front of our biggest crowd of the season was a great feeling.  It was a huge game for us against Bedford, they were above us by a point and by all accounts had been the in form side in the league.  It promised to be a fantastic game and it didn’t fail to deliver.

 

Sunday was, by far, some of the most entertaining rugby that we have seen this season and the game had everything for the full 80 minutes. 

 

I was certainly feeling the effects on Monday morning, but somehow those bumps, bruises and ruck marks don’t feel quite as bad when you have won and moved up to third in the league!

 

The atmosphere at Meadow Lane was amazing and I can’t thank the fans enough.  Over 2000 people came down to watch us take on our East Midlands rivals and I just hope that they will keep coming back, there can’t be much better value for money on a Sunday afternoon and we haven’t lost at home for nearly a year now!

 

So Bedford dealt with and we move on to another tough test away at Otley this weekend.  They may not have won a game yet but we haven’t got a great record in Yorkshire. 

 

After such a high it is the test of a really great team to build yourself up again for another challenge, our focus will be on bring home 5 points.  The big games don’t come along unless you win these ones!!

 

Thank you again for your support last weekend!!!
