I have seen in a Coventry Telegragh article that there is a provisional 40 man squad for this game but can't find it listed anywhere. The article says four Cocentry players in it but no mention of Birmingham Moseley players.

[michaelr]

Last year there was a squad of 23 named on 1st February for a game against Scottish Clubs on the 26th. So expect there should be an announcement any day now.

[kingsheathlad]

I still can't find any info on the squad.Do Comms team know if we have any players in squad.

Congratulations to them on the selection. With our game against Blaydon the next day we have cover in the pack but who will play scrum half with Sam Brown out injured with leg fracture.

[kingsheathlad]

Just noticed Jonny Lea in player profiles who plays scrum half. Not sure if he has played yet or still with us.

Are we able to move the game to the next reserve weekend? King & Molenaar out plus 5 international call ups!!
No team in this division could cope with that.

Only if Blaydon were to agree to it which is probably very unlikely if they have sold hospitality etc.

Regulations do not allow for a game to be postponed due to general lack of players, even if its due to representative call ups.

[kingsheathlad]

For those playing in both games they. Might as well bring their sleeping bags and a have a few hours sleep after the game in the clubhouse before catching the coach in the morning.

[Phil]

Training underway.

I just noticed on the poster for this game that there is a £5 charge for parking. Why Is there a charge for this game. I thought being common land parking was free like at our home games.

Can Comms team confirm please.

Parking is £5. This is because it is not a Birmingham Moseley game.

Jack & George to start tomorrow.

England Counties name side to face Scotland

[boris]

I doubt if Jack and George will feature against Blaydon,
maybe Chris, James and dave may do according to how long they get tomorrow night.
Congratulations to all 5 especially James and dave for getting there first experience to it all.

[kingsheathlad]

They might have to if we have'nt got cover in those positions.Just unfortunate it fell on a scheduled free weekend which we now have the Blaydon fixture.
