As I said as far as I know they are not looking for league 1. Stop reading something that isn't there. Need a strong consistent performances in the SCL before any thoughts of what may or may not be next. This forum is full of speculation and unfounded rumours, but that is the nature of forums. This is not a dig at you, but a general comment.

That's fair comment and to a large degree I agree with you. Foundations are vital to any club, and more so to those seeking to progress. The point of my post though was to respond to the poster who inferred that the nearest rugby league activity to Bristol was in South Wales.

In addition as others have mentioned, why would anyone with a brain cell apply to League 1 at the moment? Any club in the South would be totally isolated and incur horrendous travel bills. Nobody outside a few in the cartel know the structure for next season, let alone three years time. I wouldn't think the RFL are looking for extra clubs at this time. To the best of my knowledge Bristol All Golds are not the club being speculated about. If I were a betting man, my bet would go to "our Spanish friend "but that is merely speculation without any proof.

What about Bristol All Golds who have been based in Bristol for five years and play in the Southern Conference League. They also have a team in the Southern Women's Championships, and boys playing in leagues at u12, u14 and u16. The boys u11 played a friendly on Saturday, and the girls u14 play in the South festival activity. Not bad for a city with no activity...

Such sad news was always a lovely bloke to get along side of at games. Met him a few times both up north and in deepest Gloucestershire.

Bob is still going strong at Hemel. I was there for the Southern Womens Championship "Magic Round" on Sunday, which Hemel hosted. It was good to catch up with Bob and hear of their plans.

And people wonder why only a few bother posting on here these days. I wasn't after starting a debate, as that was already ongoing due to the titles of the thread. My comments were on it being high jacked away from the subject matter. As this is in danger of going the same way, I'll say congratulations and keep on doing what you want. Long time lurker bailing out.

All of the above... we assume that players and suppliers will be paid what they are owed, but in these cases it's not always guaranteed. Supporters who bought into the dream who no longer have a team. Even the backers, reading between the lines it seems they were let down as well by investors who had committed. You can obviously argue that a more stringent financial plan should have been in place, but you can't argue that those who were fronting this haven't been devastated by recent events too.

And yet another thread that has next to ###### all to do with the title. Let's debate and list all the clubs who were once part of the RL structure, rather than give a damn about those actually affected by this closure...

Guessing ground conditions, taken from social media posts from both clubs.

Workington v Cornwall postponed.

I keep looking at tis tread to find out about the latest antics from "our friend in Spain". Totally derailed now by an interesting diversion, but not what it says on the tin....

Well off track, although interesting....

Not sure about admission price, but definitely a bar at the club. Has been open for the three SCL games I've been involved in.

Was Director of Rugby for the University. My involvement at All Golds started in the first League 1 season, he only had minimal involvement if any by then, and none by the second season. He returned in a small role the penultimate season, but nothing major. As I said before none of the main players from All Golds are involved with Cornwall.
