Such a shame about Rugby Lions! Yes I remember going there a few times and always felt that we hard matches whenever we came to blows!

Don't feel sorry at all about the owner! Sound's so simlilar to what happened to us in the 1990's. In this instance a man and not a bunch of dishonourable people, but still full of bullshit.
Don't be suprised if the ground is sold for development and don't be suprised if Aland walks away better off than before!

Rugby in Rugby? Maybe a parks pitch but what a crying shame that the 'home' of our wonderful sport is without a team!

Agreed TM,

sadly my main memory is of a desperately dire relegation scrap over there, the year we both went down eventually. But also of some great people keeping a real rugby club going against all the odds.

All the best of luck to those who try to save what's left.
