RUGBY fans wanting to enjoy a refreshment after watching a match were disappointed at the weekend when a crucial game for Oban Lorne Rugby Football Club was moved to a pitch five miles from the clubhouse, writes Louise Glen.
Last weekend’s clash between Oban Lorne RFC and Kilmarnock RFC was moved the afternoon before the match to Connel from the rugby pitch at Mossfield, right outside the clubhouse and bar. This is not the first time such a move has happened.
While complainers are at pains to point out how grateful they are to the grounds maintenance team for all the pitches in Oban and the superb state in which they are kept, a number of fans also feel the reason games are moved off the pitch – which is also used by other sports – is because of the mess rugby players make.
