I believe the final will be held on the first week of August. Couple of weeks break before the Tri-Nations, which finishes in early to mid October. Then another 2 or 3 weeks break before the first Spring test.

One good thing - I can still be an effective supporter with a torn hammy or ripped calf muscle. Its only when I do a heart muscle that I become ineffective....

Squad management's gonna become important - I like to think that the Force have a bit of a head start after this year!

Stale? No way!
As HG Nelson and Rampaging Roy Slaven say, "Too much rugby is not enough!"

I'm curious about membeship fees, however.

We currently alternate between years with seven home games and years with six home games. The membership fees reflected this apparently.

Theoritically, therefore, membership fees should only rise by the cost of one match....

I am curious and concerned about membership fees also.

For us it's membership or foxtel, not both.
Hence, we miss most of the away games and other team games.

Not sure what we'll do next year - can't bear the thought of not being a member.

In fact, I think I would need therapy, which also costs - so may aswell retain membership - good logic?

membership will rise, but like you said it should only rise by he cost of 1 match, plus a bit of inflation

[James]

If you are contemplating flying to anywhere Emirates service you can pick up standing membership solely on the savings from their discount for members. Bargain!

but if there is going to be an extra team AND a home and away season (everybody plays everybody else at home and away), then you can expect the costs to double. At least I am. I just hope they allow for 2 payments instead of one.

Actually 1.5 matches, since we're charged for 6.5 matches per season currently.

It's already been established that's not how it's gonna work - it will be 4 home games against Australian teams, 2 against NZ teams and 2 against SA teams... every year. 8 home games.
