what's it like parking around the Twickers area nowadays ?

Easy and v quick from m25to ground. Adams Park is in a bottle kneck on an ind estate and parkings a nightmare. Also miles and miles from train station.

I know this from watching soccer there btw, not rah rah tripe.

ok,so The Stoop is actually quite EASY to get to then ?

which paints a different picture from some Broncos/Quins fans saying it's a nightmare journey hence their reticence to travel there ?

If you drive from Kent or Surrey, it isn't that difficult. If you take public transport it can be a bit of a pain (as can getting to anywhere in London on a Sunday).

This is getting a bit off topic, But it would be my preference to stay. It's a nice ground with the facilities if used to build up a "club feeling". I have no great wish to return to a football club to be treated like a soccer fan by stewards and chucked out as soon as the final hooter goes.

Unfortunately the club has always had the ability to hack off loyal fans and an inability to promote itself to new fans and while that does not change, neither will the attendance figures.

"The way teams approach a game in England is definitely influenced by the fact that your business could go under if you lose a rugby match. The end result is that you get teams playing absolutely no rugby and looking to win a game 6-3 through penalties, kicking the corners and producing a bore-a-thon because they cannot afford to lose."
-Newcastle Falcons director of rugby union, Gary Gold

Sale Sharks polishing their public image. If something comes of this, it'll confirm Kennedy and Diamond were made for each other.
