| According to BBC website Ottawa Aces are now becoming a Cornwall team playing in division 1, could work out if they have enough money as rugby union rather than soccer is the main sport down there. Going to be based in Penrhyn. The owner has expressed he wants it to become a proper Cornish team made up of Cornish men eventually but guess might need some players from outside the county to start off with. Either way better than blooming Canada.

| It's a heck of a drive to get there, and roads can be a complete nightmare (M5 issues starting as far back as Bristol & beyond) in the summer months.
So it's going to cost NL1 clubs a good few quid in transport costs - likely to be an overnighter or two.

| Fly to Newquay in about an hour probably cheaper than road or rail.

| Penryn is colloquially known as Shagtown, which could promote some interest for away fans.

The better run amateur clubs would have no problem with this. It's once a season, possibly twice. It's been costed at around £6k including an overnight stay. The League 1 clubs should have no problem getting a sponsor to cover that. They could also easily get together as a collective once the fixture lists are revealed and schedule a bulk buy discount. I'd imagine the hotels and coach companies would be quite up for bidding on a contract that includes accommodating 20-30 people bi-weekly from February to October. Again the better clubs can make something of it too, have it as a club event for example, do a team building exercise or PR activity on the Saturday and play on the Sunday.
The drive down is also being massively overrated as an issue. Set off at 5 and you'll be there before McDonalds stops doing breakfast. I'd be there no problem if Saints get them away in the Cup.

| Only in Rugby League can we have a Canadian team playing in Cornwall.
Of course we wish them all the best though.

It sounds great Cornish lads playing top grade for a cornish team however we cant even get a cumbrian team with cumbrian lads in SL. I wish them the best but it will be a long hard slog

Great thank you, I live in the South West and I'll be reassured now every time I'm crawling on the M5 from Bristol to Bridgewater (& beyond) from June to Sept that it's a massively overrated issue.....

Imagine you only have to do that journey once a year? Is it really such an issue then?
