Hello everyone and welcome to this blog. It’s going to be a slightly sideways look at Millwall Rugby Club and with any luck, more humourous than not. That is, unless you’re taking yourself a little bit too seriously, in which case, hard luck.
The first thing to note is that it is an entirely unofficial and deeply personal viewpoint about all things Millwall. Under no circumstances should you think that the words here represent the opinions of the Committee. They do not.
Unless, and this isn’t entirely unthinkable, there are occasions when the two are in accord.
I, by the way, am Nigel Webb and there are 10 very important things you need to know about me;
1) I am not and never have been a Communist.
2) I have played more times for Millwall Rugby Club than anyone else.
3) I fervently hope that the Club lasts long enough for that record to be taken from me. (note – the player appearances have been forwarded onto our Head Communications Honcho
4) I know that they are not perfect, but they are close enough and should be kept. It is history. However, I am including last year’s stats so that you can all look at them and point out the errors. You’ll notice that the first half of the year is particularly patchy. Any verifiable information you can remember will be used. https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvnShiJAnJ1RdEk5WUo3ZWNjWVlVMFI3WlZZa25ENEE&hl=en_US#gid=0
It's a bit unwieldy in this format but let me know if you'd like to help and I'll send the file out to you
5) My favourite television programme is Major League Baseball.
6) I like looking at maps and girls.
7) I haven’t bought any new clothes since 1987.
8) Sometimes I wear odd socks.
9) I understand excel spreadsheets.
10)
Anyway, let’s kick off with an open invite for contributions. I’d be delighted to hear about what anyone else thinks about Millwall Rugby Club and I am perfectly prepared to publish anything that anyone cares to contribute, except maybe bomb making recipes. You can never be too careful these days. You can choose to remain anonymous or not, that’s entirely up to you. Please send all contributions to, well, here. I’m pretty sure you can, other than that, an e-mail to flex@millwallrugby.com should reach me (unless this gets seditious). If you’re a little nervous, don’t panic. It really isn’t that important. Not many, if any, are reading this anyway. Pour encourager les autres, I’d like to offer a free Millwall mug to anyone who contributes something. If I’m not a complete luddite, there should be a picture somewhere. A contribution, by the way, has to be a little more substantial than an invite to do something. Asking this blog to alert people to a party will not be considered a contribution and it will also mean that no-one will turn up.
Millwall RFC is after all a Club of the people. It is both our club and your club (please refer to Fact No. 1) and it is a Club worth preserving and worth persevering wit.
As this is going to be about Millwall Rugby Club, it’s probably going to be a bit dull until the season starts so, until then, I’ll probably make some observations about our preparations for the upcoming season. For example, it’s nice to see that there’s a full programme of pre-season for both the Venus and the Youth sections. They have come out of the blocks and the omens are good, particularly for the youth. Venus, less so, but that’s purely a function of numbers, recruit one more per week and they’ll be looking good. Not that they aren’t already. Damn, I simply don’t know what I can or can’t say any more.
The adult men’s section is currently, I believe, er existing, although I’m not entirely sure. Perhaps you could help? Although a team did go missing last year, it’s surely within us not to be so careless again.
That’s it for now, Until the mood takes either you or
