ARMY v NAVY RUGBY 2010

I went to the Army v Navy game this year at Twickenham and was amased to see that people make a day of the event; the Navy do. I have spoken to close friends and ranking officers as well, and I have asked if we as a Regt (The Royal Welsh) could have a similer day (BBQ & drinks before and during match/tickets to the match (block booking). We have a high ranking officers approval if we get the numbers to hold such a day out

The response that I have had so far is fair, but I need reactions from peeps, before myself and my conspiritors get down to organising the day out.

Those who read the thread, can they please leave there vote in the poll provided. The poll will close at the end of Aug.

Many thanks.

Bearing in mind our regimental contribution to Forces Rugby, Its really surprising that we have no RWelsh tent at the match. I went a few yrs ago, and ended up with the guys from the WFR, who had their own bar!!!

Its a nightmare getting into these tents, if you are not ticketed...what a great day out that would be.

Wish football and boxing had equal support in the Battalion and not just a south Walian supported sport forced on Commanding officers forever

Jase, Rhondda asked for support when he was boxing in the Combined services last year in Portsmouth. How many people from the Regt went to support him?

Exactly, you dont get scale A support if its not Rugby.

Jase make golf scale A in July so every 1 can witness me kicking your ****. hhahahah.

As for the thread, yes its about time we had our own bar there, and if i was home at the time would be there

It would be great to have a red Dragon bar, We could even get Jim Brown to run it for old times sake!! Although Im not sure I can put up with him moaning about not bringing our glasses back to the bar!!

Anyone would be better than Joe Grant running it :arghh::wacko:

Sorry Jase but when the Bn was boxing as a team it was always scale A No2's or mess dress.
as for football and rugby, rugby first up to 1/4 finals home games semi scale A away games maybe 1 or 2 coaches would go then scale A 1/4 finals onwards army cup only. Finals in other cups
Football was the same however it was not enforced as much as the rugby was. I turned up to many a football game when i was'nt playing rugby maybe its changed a bit now but to be honest out of the 3 team sports not as individuals boxing got the best support

What a great idea,
Think it would be a great day out,and would be up for it without a doubt.
Boxing as always been loyalty followed in the Btn if South/North Wales,
Dont think it would be a great idea Joe running the bar the change might go to quick ha ha,
As you say everyone seems to make it a great day,so lets get it on.
