Rumour down here is that we are going to take 3 games around South Wales this season with your game against us down here due to take place at Rodney Parade, Newport.

A bit closer for you lot if nothing else.

Probably another new ground for most of you too.

I hope not we already booked a hotel 5 miles away from Brewery Field

What if people have already booked accomodation?

It's a complete joke.

Would suit me cos where i'll be staying is closer to Newport

For people looking to change accommodation remember that U2 play at Millennium Stadium on the same day, might be a problem looking for new accommodation, maybe not.

We've no chance! Bono's hats will have every room booked solid.

They should confirm it soon as it seems to be coming from both Crusaders and Newport RFC.

Bridgend is only 40 minutes from Newport on the train.

It is about the same in the car too.

True but we would be going 40 mins past the stadium just to come 40 mins back and then home

If it is going to be moved it needed to be announced earlier no doubt.

not a bad ground if i may say so myself.

Newport is a better drive than Bridgend.

That's the new one.

It is about as real as Salford's new one at the moment.

As in not at all.

My Mistake.

I'm probably not going now. A big attraction was a night out in Bridgend, where I've always had good times in the past.

Newport's not bad for a night out and Cardiff is only 15 minutes on the train.

Cardiff is a good night out Newport is a sh*thole in every sense of the word, it is closer to my parents than bridgend tho so less time travelling, but for those who have booked already it is a disgrace

No more of a hole than Bridgend and busier too.

Celtic is the only ground in SL i havn't been to. Looks like i will have to tick it off the list next year.

Can't say I'm bothered, had nothing booked and it's closer to Cardiff for a better night out.

There was an article on this last week in one of the RL papers but cannot see anything about it on the club site or anything.

Sounds like its going to happen though and like someone else we're booked in 5 mins away from the ground in Bridgend.

No doubt they'll confirm the change two weeks before the game

Agreed. They don't think about the fans.

Whats the advantage of moving stadiums?

All i can see is trying to push the sport that little bit more in a RU area?

Negatives -
- Fans already booked their travel & accom could incur more expense
- The stadium looks rather shabb
- Fans actually want to go to BF as it is their first visit

Any more of either?

So Celtic take just about zero fans anywhere then when it's likely to be their biggest home crowd of the season they f*** off all the away fans making the trip.

Remind me again what Celtic bring to super league?

Already been to BF ... Saw Wales get their backsides handed to them by the Aussies a few years ago, but met Artie Beetson at the game, so that was alright then.

Actually stayed in Newport for it, there's a big Hilton up by the M4 just outside of town.

Newport made Swansea look cosmopolitan and IIRC, the Union ground is somewhere down near the Docks / River ?

I wonder if anyone will go to the Isle Of Wight instead ?
