Rugby Centre of Excellence
Dear Sir,
When I read my old Irish “mucker” Captain Patrick Griffith’s letter in today’s Daily Bulletin, I thought “Aye aye, he’s been on the ‘medianas’ again down in Toni’s bar in Binissalem.”
Your comments about “when (not if) Real Mallorca get demoted” really cheered me up no end. Nice to have a kick in the teeth when you’re down and nearly out.
I’m guessing you’ve never seen Mallorca play in all the years you’ve lived here and are another armchair critic who couldn’t give a monkeys about the local professional football team. I even come and watch Binissalem occasionally!
Rugby has blossomed on Majorca and I know your goodself and the late John Rule were instrumental in making it more popular to the masses.
Yes, Patrick, Real Mallorca are in deep do-do at the moment, as are 99.9% of all Spanish teams. It doesn’t help matters when we’re being run by egotistical Neanderthals who’ve made a monumental mess of everything.
By all means bring more “egg-chasers” to the Son Moix (which by the way we only rent from Palma Ayuntamiento) but there’s no way Real Mallorca as a footballing institution will die after 98 historical years. The club needs investment big time from wherever, but whatever happens we’ll rise again like a Phoenix from the ashes!
I’m all in favour of ground-sharing with rugby clubs, it happens in the UK and France so why not here? Maybe Scotland’s rugby team could be the first side at the Centre of Excellence. God knows, like Mallorca, they also need as much divine intervention as they can get.
Visca Mallorca!
