Regional leagues 2018


Recommended Posts

Sad to see Bristol struggling.  They were very forward thinking and very much a model club back in the day.  

Hope things can be turned around.

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

Well, as far as I understand players (some who joined the All Golds, some who turned them down) were offered various incentives including playing at a higher level next season. One coach in the region with good links there claims players told him they were being offered match fees and a "big bonus" for winning the West of England League. This may just be Chinese whispers and I can't vouch for its reliability, though this particular contact has a very good relationship with quite a few in the current All Golds squad.

Like I previously said, the Sonics problems were not wholly down to the re-emergence of the All Golds so they're not to blame for what has happened, but the way they've been operating played a part in tipping the club over the edge.

I wonder what higher level they’re thinking of? I doubt they’d get back into League 1 and the London League have already been burnt trying to expand to another region. Wales is a possibility

Could be an option actually, though not if they’re paying match fees 

That’s not a restriction. It’s an “open” league (I expect in practice it’s few and far between though)

The All Golds have plans

Do you think that they will fund schools and junior Rugby League in Bristol, since that's where a good chunk of their players started playing RL? In fact of those, most started in the Sonics juniors.

I won't be doing that. If I wanted to speak to him I'd have called him last week.

Any chance Cornish Rebels can join in too. Hear that they're hosting  a Dorset County Giants side down in Cornwall this Saturday.

If it hadn’t been for the Midlands clubs accepting teams from the South West when there weren’t as many clubs there then I don’t think there’d be a game in the South West now. It does seem a lot of the older clubs have remembered that though
