If only we played football...

Nottingham Rugby is going through a bad patch of results - a hard fought defeat to Leeds (that we could have won) and a one point defeat away at Plymouth (who scored in the seventh minute of added time). We are therefore 4th in National One, or 16th in England.

Looking at the football premiership table we would be Tottenham Hotspur if we were 16th in England and we would have a bid in for a £6,000,000 striker. If we were 4th in the second division (now imaginatively called "The Championship") we would be Burnley. Not sure who they are trying to sign but from their list of full time employees (including a Graphic Designer) I would say they are doing better than us. And they started life as a rugby club.

Maybe it's something we should consider tomorrow as we stand there rattling buckets and flogging calenders of semi-naked players (good taste having taken second place to survival).
