Visit St Pauls regularly, great midweek offers.
Good luck with the project.

That's a great website you've got W71 (southwest rugby league) - shouldn't you be using that in your sig?

The more I think about this, the more I think it's a great idea. We're FAR more likely to be embarrassed about the attendances at some of the early round games if they're held, say, at the LSV than if they're held somewhere like Bristol where you'd be guaranteed an enthusiastic crowd.

How many do we think would actually turn up at the LSV to watch Tonga vs USA?

I bet Bristol could rustle up the same or probably more and that would be a success.

Likewise, and I agree.

You raise a good point. That sort of fixture at the LSV is hardly going to get people to come out in their thousands. What does RL have to lose? I'd imagine a few people who aren't particularly familiar with RL might turn up out of curiosity and enjoy the spectacle, whereas fans in the heartlands might not be so impressed with the standard of rugby.

Edit. That's not to say that I don't think Leigh should host a game. It'd be great to see the Kiwi's or the Kangaroo's get a hit-out at the LSV.

Probably



I'd settle for NZ vs Cook Islands

Wherever they're held i'll be going to as many games as possible! A nice p*$$ up tour round the country sounds good to me.

Hi - I think you'll find by looking at my avatar that I live in a place that could be called expansion territory! Great to see things developing down there in the SE. No issues with playing Tonga/USA or similar level down there, its the big ones I would be worried about.

No problem with that.... though Wales is just across the bridge, half an hour by train to Cardiff....

I really hope you get a game, working with soccer clubs will get a much better profile than being shafted by the Union Old Boys Network.

Rovers, too... www.bristolrovers.co.uk/page/Lat ... 37,00.html

Things are looking good. Hope Bristol are successful with this and any furure application to join the championship divisions.

I think its a great idea and hope the bid goes successfully, The people of Brizzle love their sport and if marketed properly could get very good crowds, on top of that its a great chance to sample some of the west country cider tents!!

P.S if it being held at ashton gate i take it all back and dont support it at all!!

That's a problem in Bristol then isn't it? Rovers fans won't go to Ashton Gate and City fans won't go to the Memorial Ground. Is there anywhere else with the capacity to host the game?

You really are clutching at straws now!

If we get one game, you'd be right to say City won't promote a game at Rovers to the same degree, and vice versa. But people will go to either or both, as Bristol Rugby have shown. But if we get two games, both will support one another.

You've lost me.

Unless they have moved it since you were last here I think Bristol is in the south west!

Perils of posting by mobile - thought you were someone else! The point stands, though. City fans will go to the Memorial, but not to watch Rovers.

Well I hope you all enjoy it , I will not be taking in a single match

I take it you mean a match in Bristol ? as opposed to not supporting your country in this competition ?

You're forgiven!

I hope it works out, I think Ashton Gate is a bit too big for anything other than an England game, which I can't see happening. If it's at the Memorial, myself and Wurzel are there for sure.

Any game , any where

Why Steve?

I'm a Championship RL fan
