They also conceded 16 points, so the winning margin was lower. Guinness book online I've read the topic title wrong, sorry!

Avery Fields is the closest rugby ground to the city centre and the alternatives are either unsuitable or unwelcoming.

Leeds 50 Hull 0 CCF 2015

Well there was a direct bus from Plough Lane to Avery Fields which I presume you missed It's fairly easy to get there by car, otherwise there is a bus stop at the gate which takes you to the city centre and a few people use this on matchdays. Uber from New Street station is the easiest way to get there. It's 18 minutes (3.5 milers) according to Google Maps though that is for Saturday lunchtime).

Perhaps I should have been more clear. Avery Fields isn't just surrounded by streets of houses, there are shops and pubs etc a short stroll away. You could drive past The Alex and have no idea we were playing there, such was the scale and lack of signage. Now, Bearwood locals will see our banners when they wait for the bus outside the ground. Bournville RU first team don't really pack them in on game days but at least there is an existing rugby culture to build on. If you've been to see us on a Sunday you'll have seen the kids and their parents dispersing after their morning activities. Hopefully some of them will be curious and stay for the Hurricanes game.

I've seen someone suggest Brummicanes which might catch on

The womens team needs relaunching wiith a properly committed coach. We adopted a wheelchair team though which made some waves this season. Junior development is in the pipeline and considered important to the club's growth but I think I'm correct in saying that setting up the necessary foundation isn't quite as easy as it might be thought to be. Apologies for the cryptic answer but it's late and I'm not sure of the exact position at this time. As we all know, it's very difficult getting new fans to turn up, and much harder in an area outside of the Heartlands, but there have been positive signs of us being noticed in the area.

The baseball team already uses that see here

At this stage of development, I think we're better off in an area where people can take a short walk to the ground. Nobody wants a souless bowl on an out-of-town trading estate. Isn't your ground surrounded by housing estates?

It's as good a place as any - out of the centre and surrounded by housing estates. Fairly easy to get to but not as spacious as the Alexander Stadium setting was. The ground is owned by Bournville RU and we have a 20-year lease.

True enough but we are getting regular mentions on the local BBC News TV sports round-up. There's a lot more to do of course but we were getting new people every week last season.

25-0 now I hear

You were far too strong for us today. We're sad but, had you offered us second round in the playoffs at the start of the season... Good luck in the next round.

32-16 now and presumably in the closing minutes. Thought a surprise was on the cards but seems not.
