ncfcstar 287 Posted July 28, 2009 I know this is slightly off topic, but what great news that today England was confirmed as host for both the Rugby League World Cup in 2013, and the Rugby Union World Cup in 2015. Add to that the Olympics in 2012, and hopefully the World Cup in 2018, and what a brilliant decade of sport that is right on our doorstep. Brilliant news, and I for one can''t wait for the 2010s!

Pity we won''t be getting a regional super stadium out of it though!But will it be the twentytens or the twenty teens?My bet is that the latter is correct but that the former will be the popular adoption.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Angry 1,545 Posted July 28, 2009 I was totally underwhelmed by the news that we were bidding for the 2012 Olympics, coming as it did just after an announcement that Olympic-sized swimmimg pools in London were being closed due to lack of funding. The Olympics are a total waste of money as far as I''m concerned, and I''ll also be paying for them in my Council Tax until April 2017![:@] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he has done well this summer by actually bringing in players that we can call our own, and he hasn''t just signed any Tom, Dick or Harry. Whether or not he will be able to manage them is another thing though, I think we have the squad to compete now, but I am still not sure about the manager.To be fair, I will probably remove my sig, I''d just forgotten about it, but like I said, I''m still concerned about Gunn.

Signing players is one thing, but tactical decisions in the heat of battle are quite another, and that''s an area where Gunny failed miserably last year. Having said that, my sources tell me that Butters is increasingly influential, and he and Crooky have had a big say in the acquisitions, so maybe we''ll see a change there.Apart from anything else, I think we''ll see rather more of the Dunkirk spirit from the likes of Nelson and Holt.
