Tony Clubb decided he was bigger than the club itself.

If that equates to him thinking he deservef more oay then yes. But thats why he left! And he has not done toi bad out of it, cant knock anyone for doing that.
Anyone in any career will always look at moving if they dont think they are gettung paid enough for there role and skills. Or renegotiate with the current company.

His re negotiation by the way, he was asking for IRO 2k pay rise, not unreasonable. And certainly not an indication that he thought he was bigger than the club. Club said no hence him looking elsewhere. He was keen to stay otherwise.

Paul sykes did the same, asked for pay rise didnt get it so went home. LMS was a bit different, he was on poop money but he needed a bigger better club to develop. Pretty sure his pay packet jumped though.
Syksy took less pay back home bit he had much fewer outgoings.
Enough of that, i know the club have not confirmed anything, anyone heard anything elsewhere about a change of ground being discussed yet

That's why you can't blame LMS taking another extra season at Saints, such good money, supported him a lot in his benefit season, always the same Louis, always hoped he may do a final season with us again!

Plough lane pitch is hybrid grass and synthetic so should not have a re seeding issue

Well that’s good news- as I said the best thing about TFSC was not having to worry about the pitch.

Rosslyn Park RUFC announced as the new training base (For 3 years). Its actually a pretty good ground (not for league games point of view, but facilities wise for training). What I could not make out though, I go the impression it was on ly for the first team squad??!

Not seen that on club website, where is it announced?
