Quote: Fully "That would not be a fair way of doing it at all.

No club would go for ten teams. TV deal wouldn't pay the same for less games so SL cash would be reduced. Equally, no club is going to only play 9 home games a drop of 5 home games in terms of income.

It would be a stupid, crass, ridiculous decision.'"
spot on. its a simple case of the rich wanting to get richer.im a batley fan and we only play 9 home games (league) a season its not enough.in football prem play 19.championship leagues 1 and 2 play 23.more games means more money.

Quote: chubbs1981 "Hoping to stage the International at Torquays ground? Lets hope the tides not in when it rains then.

Who's coaching Devon this year?'"


Rob Stockwell if he's around, with Matt Cuss either way

Quote: Wembley71 "The most likely ground is the Prince of Wales Stadium, which is owned by the council, and currently used by the UG RL team, the Cheltenham Tigers RU club, and an athletics club. It's just about Champ1 standard with plenty of room for improvement. Tigers RU also own a large expanse of lands called Newlands, out of town on the way to the racecourse.

The University own a lot of land in Cheltenham and Gloucester, including The Folly, just down the road from the PoW, where the uni 2nds sometimes play and where the huge schools comp runs. There's nothing there yet, but room for a stadium if that is how they chose to go.

Aside from that, there's Cheltenham Town FC, Gloucester RFU, and potentially Gloucester City FC, with stadia that could stage pro RL.'"




Are Gloucester City close to returning home?? Always enjoyed going to Meadow Park and it was a real shame flood damage drove them out.

They're years away from a return, I believe, and currently play at Cheltenham Town having had a few years playing at Cirencester.

Wish they'd let us know before NCL application deadline.
