Actually it's Swanley which is covered by Sevenoaks Council. I do hope the Kent Clubs object!

Not a chance in hell are they going to get that. I am fuming that they are so arrogant to think they could just waltz into the Garden of England and think they will carve out a support base out of the already established Quins/Sarries duopoly on professional rugby support here. Not to mention the negative impact this will have on the community clubs in West Kent. I am very strongly going to object to this if they dare try to go for any planning permission.

Why pay their debts and start at the bottom when the RFU are so keen to get them back in one of the top two tiers?

The RFU and Wasps deserve each other but we deserve neither.

Top 3 starting to establish themselves! Havant, Camberley and Welsh! Who is going to be the winner?!

Tunbridge Wells are actually ahead of Welsh in the table at the moment?

And we're away at TW this coming Saturday.  I think the current top three will slowly pull clear at the top, and Havant will ultimately prevail.  They've shown such consistency over the last 12 months (since that crazy defeat at Brighton) and don't tend to slip up against the 'lesser' sides.

Havant are very consistent and will be pushed by TW and Welsh. Camberley may come close but will most likely have their mid season coup/capitulation come February

Haven’t seen much of Camberley yet this season, how are they shaping up? Havants home record is very impressive, I can’t see anyone going there and beating them!

With Havant getting players back from preseason injuries they will be too strong and consistent over a very long season due to their depth 

With the cold wet weather coming their game play and pack will continue to edge out games whereas other teams falter and slip up

They sure are big lads, I don’t think anyone will be able to live with their scrum and maul. 

I heard they gave Camberley a real tough time in the scrum.

I’m not surprised, Havant are arguably the best pack in the league. The Camberley I saw last year when they played Brighton away, were pretty average.

That was a close game at Brighton last year, down to the wire!!!! Recall them missing their prop that day but he hasn’t been around much this year too it seems

How did the Brighton scrum get on against Camberley last week, didn’t they put 50 on Brighton?

Don’t travel too much these days unfortunately but yes believe it was domination across the field in the pouring rain

The Camberley website (which may not be wholly impartial) describes a 10 minute period early in the second half in which they were awarded seven scrum penalties and Havant had two players binned.
I'm sure Tony has an equally impartial recollection of those events!

Who knows what to believe, reading some of these comments the Havant lads are giants and dominant every weekend. If Camberley beat them up in the scrum, possibly they’re not to be feared?
