Just noticed that the logo on the website is RFC but the website is saintsrlfc. Just interested to know from Saints fans if there is a "rebranding" going on.

Ok - no conspiracy. Just seen a Jim Sullivan blazer badge from the 50s with RFC on.

Any pictures of the nearly new stand at Post Office Road? Seems to be taking a hell of a long time to put up.
