I don't believe the first leg at Bristol will streamed unfortunately. Hoping spectators will be allowed for the Ealing leg! |

Should be allowed the lower of 2,000 or 50% of the maximum capacity (be that 3,200 or 4,000 - depends where you look) ------------- RAID ON |

| Next week's match at Vallis Way will have fans! Confirmed on Twitter about half an hour ago. Details to follow. |

| Ealing win 38 - 10. Fairly strong Ealing side vs. what looked like a fairly weak Bristol side. Though Ealing did get quite a few academy lads on the field. Really looking forward to the home match next weekend. |

| Read in TRP that Alex Codling has left the club. Again. If so, that leaves me really wondering what is going on in terms of the side's inability to retain a coach. It would also be a substantial blow, as Codders was a superb hand at picking a side, training, and preparing them. |

Gerg i agree about Codling's ability but he has perhaps the longest form book of all at moving on from coaching positions. |

I listed ALL of his clubs on here once when he first joined Ealing Trailfinders. He is the ultimate Journeyman. I believe it was well over twenty clubs and some he had visited twice. Since then he has returned to Harlequins and Ealing Trailfinders. He is very old school mixed with a real technical knowledge of the game . The `old school` side is lot`s of shouting and swearing with a mix of fire and brimstone passion. This does not suit all players and can be counter productive but most players I have spoken to all agree that he is very good at his job. Ealing need to find a top head coach who will stay for the long haul and accrue some real longevity in the post. ------------- Ambition should be made of sterner stuff. |

| The amount of money Ealing have to spend if only they had a better DoR they would have gone up a long time ago. |

Blues, Ealing may spend much more than most of the other Championship teams but they still spend less than half of the money spent each season by the team that is relegated from the Premiership into the Championship. Even with all their money they cannot compete financially and consequently as has been seen year after year they cannot better that team on the pitch over a season. The Premiership is already ring fenced-by finance |

So true. The parachute payment is ring fencing by stealth, making it almost impossible to break the Premiership cartel. The abolition of the play-offs made it even more difficult.

Are you sure about the bar? I heard clubhouse closed with hot drinks only served outside. I hope I’m wrong and you’re right, though! ------------- Speak softly, but carry a big stick. |

| Regulations posted by RFU today say bar can only be open if food is provided and alcohol to be with meals and not on general sale. If sit down meals provided max of 6 to a table and must be within your bubble. Check the RFU site for current regulations . |

You sure about that? Ealing had the highest R rate in the Capital of couple of days ago and is still going up!

Follow the rules and have a great day watching rugby. If you need a beer and the bars are shut take a flask of bovril and have a beer at home later. I wish I could be there but no chance given Jersey's current situation. ------------- Dont kick it. Pick it up and GO FORWARD. |

I saw that, not sure how but Jersey seems to have been hit by a surge in Covid cases. ------------- RAID ON |

Half time at Vallis Way: Ealing 21 (3T) - Bristol A 9 Much closer than the score suggests. ------------- Speak softly, but carry a big stick. |

Agreed. If anything, Bristol look the better team. Ealing has been very sloppy with ball in hand, and only have the lead thanks to penalties giving them short range ball where their physicality lets them run over Bristol's lads.

| Ealing 35 - Bristol 19. Better in the second half from Ealing, more ambition and crispness. |

Some thoughts on today:
Just some general musings, was great to finally watch live rugby again. I hope other clubs get to have the pleasure again soon. Merry Christmas everyone. |

...and Codder's departure confirmed on Ealing twitter. Strangely, they said that it was for financial reasons. I guess maybe the money has ran out, but seems very unlikely given recruitment, building plans, and rumour that they can buy a share in PRL.
