Quotesnowie="snowie"truly wish the best of good luck to Perez in his dream of becoming that revolutionary, bringing Ottawa to Cornwall is just as a braver move as was his Canadian dream, I can honestly say I wouldn't be travelling that distance unless I was down there for an holiday break having spent over 10 hrs travelling back from Bude the other month which normally is around 7 hrs with breaks but this is more realistic in saying its expansion'"
They’re playing in Penryn which is a small town on the outskirts of Falmouth on the south coast. It’s a good hour and half from Bude on those little Cornish roads so I doubt you’d bother unless it was Wakefield playing there.
It’s a big rugby Union area but is so sply populated that Cornish Pirates only get an average attendance of 1500. It can’t even sustain a professional football team. You’ll be able to count the number of fans for this lot on one hand.

New York, London, Paris Munich, everybody talk about Eric Perez
I really do wish people would dig a little deeper into these "silver bullet" people who are going to save our sport....Sol Mokdad is now immersed in Asia Rugby Union.....
If one cent of central funding is given to this insanity, it shows that the RFL aren't fit for purpose. Coventry, Skolars and the Welsh have been doing the hard yards whilst this carpetbagger has been selling snake oil and in gullible RL quarters, quite successfully......and before anyone harks on about Covid.....it'll be a bad cold inside 6 months if you get regular jabs and travel wouldn't be an issue, but this shyster is very good with other peoples money
Cracking stadium....if they can 10% of the locals to games they'll average 600
Their "landlords" [url=http://www.penrynrugby.com/newsWHO SEEM EXCITED[/url are in tier 7 of the Union hierarchy and in 150 years they've produced 6 players with a total of 40 England caps. .....but according to Eric, [url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/rugby-league/59120702it's a Rugby Hotbed[/url
QuoteChristianB="ChristianB"The difference is that Stornoway has a population of 6,000 and Cornwall 560,000. That's actually more than Bradford.'"
Difference being Bradford is a city - Cornwall is an entire county that takes hours to drive across. Whilst we’re on that to drive from one end of Cornwall to the other takes about 3 hours. Imagine the population of people you can reach in 3 hours drive from Bradford. Shows you the lunacy of this.
The point being Stornaway is a small town that’s hours from anywhere else. A bit like Penryn (which also has about 6000 inhabitants). Or you could just move Coventry to Stornaway call it Scotland Rl and claim the whole population of 5.5 million for the expansionists.
Perez says they intend to built a team of Cornish talent. Which basically means they’ll be players who aren’t good enough to get into the local Rugby Union sides. Like West Wales they’ll be weaker than most of the top amateur sides and getting a tanking every week. In truth West Wales are pretty much amateur anyway as they can’t afford to pay all their players. Or he’ll just have to splash the cash like he did at Toronto.

Hi Maccbull. I live three miles south of Penryn. Driving northwards, in three hours I am usually somewhere around Gloucester services.
I think the issue here is that the Bradford Rugby League team represents Bradford, and the Cornwall Rugby League team will represent Cornwall. The relative density of population is not too important.
