Essai Machine Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 League Weekly report that there is a consortium from Valencia enquiring about admitting ,Los Huracanes' to the British game. An obvious coach for this new set-up would be Bernard , after his skilful handling of Tommy the Toreador's career . Bernard is yet to comment on the appointment .

Manxmanc Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I've no idea about the merits or otherwise of a Valencia team, but I thought there was a thriving Valencia community league with 7ish clubs. The Espana League site has a number of club logos for community clubs, but you never know whether the information is up to date/accurate. Anyone the wiser?

Why does the state of The Jungle or Salford’s declining attendances have anything to do with someone wanting to set up a team in Spain? The fact is it sounds like there are people who want to give it a go and we should support that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same deflection tactics occured with the 'next expansion team' thread, before the moderator intervened. I would have thought that those who find the topic of expansion uncomfortable either engage or avoid the thread. In the meantime, I would be interested to note the state of RL in Valencia - as posted earlier, there arec indications of about seven clubs, which would be impressive. I, personally, have no real view on Valencia as a credible bid; hence I would like to be better informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ontinyent Rugby Tavernes RC Valencian Warriors Tigres Torrent Xàtiva Roosters However, I never saw results, league tables etc. although certainly some games were played (Roosters played Warriors and Tigers, for example.)

Not somebody else who’s interested in setting up somewhere else. Cas ground........Castleford Tigers responsibility Wakefield ground.......Trinity’s responsibility Salford attendances.......Their responsibility Huddersfields also......
