Weekly Ramble

Come early this time. Too much excitement in me. I sang and sang and got tired. Maybe someone somewhere was listening silently. You can get a choice of my two year old posts here and my past Ramble specifically on grounds here. Whether personal reasons, or gain, it was the most logical thing to do. Given the past excuses that I heard, about revenue sharing, insecurity, distance from core market, none really made sense to me. Stadia are designed to comfortably host a magnitude of people, whilst giving them clear view of the goings on on the pitch. All else is secondary and must be treated as such. I had even given up on singing this song. Unfortunately the announcement has been left to too late and there will not be enough media.

With the IRB greatly encouraging the community rugby (we call it mtaa rugby here) initiative world wide, and with rugby mounting a challenge to be or remain the number two spectator sport world wide, and with the great push to get rugby played at all levels and in great numbers countrywide, and with greater interest in the game growing day by day, we as an affiliate were not doing out bit to grow the spectator base. Content to keep it an elite sport, whilst the reverse is happening worldwide, it was only a matter of time. And methinks the time is nigh. And as I always say, carpe diem. Well done new board, that's just the first step. And now let's see what appearance fees the players command out of that Ksh. 2M sponsorship (just a parting shot).

For the first time ever, a Kenya Rugby International match will be played at Nyayo National Stadium.
