I've now received 2 emails from London Irish from the googlemail address - I haven't contacted RFC on this email address before and it's not the email address I use for Facebook either.

Tredder's got the emails too! ALOL!

I have replied to them saying that I'm sure there's some data protection issues here and to please stop emailing me. I'll probs get another one in a minute! :roll:

I don't think they're anything to do with RFC or LI!

I reckon it's an HNA? leak.

I got another one too. Getting a bit boring now.

Might kick up a fuss later if I can be bothered - are these actually coming from irish?

We only receive the weekly update from noreply@london-irish.com - as suggested above i think someone or a dodgy organization has somehow obtained your mail addresses - or would JM's holding company use this ploy to put bums on seats/use the stadium facility’s after all they (he) doesn’t care where the £££ comes from - Just hope we (LI) haven't employed some computer geek who's being a smart arse.

Google Mail is email that's intuitive, efficient and useful. Maybe even fun

Had one sent to me this morning. :roll:

President of Ireland, Mary McAleese was the guest of honour at the Madejski Stadium in Reading, England on Sunday (February 28) as she watched London Irish Rugby Club beat rivals Harlequins 29-14.


I don't give a shit :|

It's HNA related. I've had two today addressed to the email that I only use for HNA? and absolutely nothing else.

WTF? I was merrily LOLing at everyone else but I've just had 3 through and never given my address to Reading FC.

Must be HNA related, which is a shame as it'll be a cancer on the board I've grown to love :|

If it's to do with HNA, how has the person who is sending them, got our email addresses?

I got this today too. Twice to one account and 5 to another account. I immediately assumed it was something to do with HNA? to be honest. And I suspect I may still be right.

But where did they get my address from? Bloke in Germany, no rugby interest whatsoever, even an account opened in Germany with a German company? Did they SPAM every Irish person in the world?

I'm going to get whooshed here, aren't I?
