Title: CAer's are the best
Post by: Bob U on February 04, 2007, 01:16:25 am
Today, thanks to being a member of Club Arnage, my wife and me have had one of the most enjoyable days we have ever had. We were sold tickets for the England v Scotland 6 nations rugby match by a fellow CAer. Not only were these tickets for possibley the best seats at Twickenham, they were  sold to us for cost price when they could have been sold for a considerable amount more. This, to me, proves what a fantastic bunch of people use this forum.

Club Arnage rocks. Long may it remain

There is only one thing that could have improved on that... you could have been watching France play  ;D

That is next month unfortunatly during Sebring! Hopefully we can beat France and take the grand slam!

(I know I am being hopeful but has hope ever killed anyone?)

What Mike C said! A cracking match to watch, even from the very edge of my sofa! Must've been fantastic to be there.

Jonny was good but Harry Ellis was better. He should have got Man of the Match IMO.

Let's hope this form continues...  ;D

Harry Ellis was great but that had to be one of the greatest international Rugby comebacks ever. 27 points and a Calcutta Cup record. Outstanding.  The atmosphere must have been electric. 

Also a nice summing up of the type of people on here Bob. Top drawer, the lot of them.

Where do you get the "WE' from Rick?...     WE do not all support England!

Wales / Ireland was good today.

It was pretty good, wasn't it?

I'm not too sure if the chap on the Scottish bench was too popular with his team mates though. He was having a bit of a laugh with us, at the Scots expense  ;)

On the ticket front; it was my pleasure to help out. Pleased you both enjoyed it .

I'll be there again this weekend, hoping to see some more thrilling rugby.

I haven't seen the France - Italy game yet, but the quality of the other 2 matches makes me think and indeed hope, that we are in for a vintage 6 Nations competition this year.

I'm sure that it must have been fantastic to be there but hearing Brian Moore and Bill McLaren (is that who it was), bickering like an old married couple, adds a great deal of entertainment too.

Is that because we went out on Friday and got ratted, if so will stay out of her way for a while 8)

Mark, are you gonna post the pic of the bonus we got after the presentation of the Calcutta Cup or shall I?

Ooohhh! You tease.

No tease Nigel. We were standing at the side of the tunnel when the marvelous Mr Wilkinson came out with the cup to be presented with The Man of match award. So close he could have reached out and shook my hand. But he didn't. Stange that.

Let's see how England and France look after they have both visited Croke Park.

Then we'll have a good idea whether we can beat the French.

My brother in law was entertained by RBS for the Wales/Ireland game yesterday.

Alright for some!!!!.....he managed to persuade  his contact at RBS for the ticket...................just because he struck a deal with them for a little cash transaction for his company.
