Please no. I'm not sure I can face the idea of a night curled up in the doorway of the BullRing again...

Sarcasm helps keep you from telling people what you really think of them.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_9.jpg |

| Quote: bowes " Birmingham has direct lines from Sheffield, Doncaster, Wakefield, Leeds, York (not always stopped at all) in Yorkshire and direct lines from Warrington, Wigan, Manchester, Liverpool among other stations in Lancashire and several stations in Cumbria. Plus many midlands rugby league fans, while generally not caring about the local game, often support a northern team (usually Wigan, Saints or Leeds), so there would be interested locals'"
Would think nfortunately] this would be one reason why Birmingham CC would not stump up cash for this to happen as most fans would not be inclined to stop over, so reducing hotel and associated spending in bars/clubs etc.

As far as I can tell there are less than a dozen of us, two post on this forum! When I talk to the locals, they don't care about either code, but generally have a dislike of league for no particular reason. Birmingham is endless suburbs with an endless lack of enthusiasm for anything and a massively over-expensive centre.
Cov would be better than Birmingham, though the two sit on each other pretty much - trains to Cov are about as regular and fast as trains about Brum.
So, what did the RFL do then? |

Although i would love to see Rugby League on my doorstep i*m afraid i agree with Belgium.There is no-one who cares for the game down here,it*s a football hotbed with West Brom Villa and now with Wolves and Brum promoted it*s getting worse!!!!!!!!!Walking around in town the other day with a St George Ilawarra top on and someone asked me about it and i told him then he started talking about Leicester Tigers and Bath,,,!!Still i don*t mind driving up the north,it*s only 2 hours to most places...

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Surely that would be the reason to have it there then
Or am I missing the point here |

Coventry you get more, but it tends to be just at the level of watching SL on television, but that may mean people would watch a SL on the road. Rugby union's much bigger in Coventry than it is in Birmingham (when you factor in population) as it's a big sport in the southern half of the midlands, but Nottingham are the only big (ish) club in the northern midlands. Although also the southern side of Birmingham (i.e. around Moseley) plus nearby Solihull RU is bigger than in northern Birmingham

20 miles apart, so not quite, but train service is very good. Wouldn't work for MM though as the biggest stadium's about 30,000. If you're looking at a semi-pro club starting then the best bet's Nottingham by far.
Quote: belgianxiii "
So, what did the RFL do then?'"
Expel Nottingham City from the league. They arbitrarily decided mid-season one year they'd chuck out the bottom 3 teams. While they did get to join the National Conference League (which wasn't part of the RFL's original plan, but BARLA didn't want to leave clubs without a suitable league) they lost most of their players due to not being able to pay the wages anymore in what was effectively an amateur league. |
