OriginalMrC 1,268 Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 It's a really good tie for Coventry. World Cup holders vs a UK team. Can't wait! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Tim Whatley 411 Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 At a time when it is pretty easy to feel glum about the state of the game, this schedule hitting my calendar has provided a real fillip. Already trying to plot how I can best do a few games in one trip from Herts. Got my beady eye on a Friday in Coventry, Saturday in Bolton, and Doncaster on a Sunday on the way home! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A saturday night would have been better I feel but it will sell well. Lots of Aussie ex pats in the South of England, a big Scottish community in the midlands and a big interest in sporting events here. Pretty sure it will do well as an event 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eddie 3,818 Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 I’ll be applying for Aus v Fiji, the QF in Hull, semi at Arsenal and the final. It’s not easy getting anywhere from Norfolk but it will be well worth the effort - can’t wait. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, although the ricoh is very accessible by car the train links will be essential for this fixture. When I went to the RU World Cup at the MK stadium it was very well organised, you got off your train and straight on a bus to the stadium Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn't that station have an absurdly short platform, which can only cope with trains of two carriages? (This may no longer be the case, but I know from trying to get to football games there that train is not as easy an option as one might have hoped!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JonM 2,853 Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Very excited about this - going to need to do some planning for those few weeks. The Wheelchair games at the Copper Box is a nice touch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Leyther_Matt 823 Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 It's taken virtually the whole afternoon, but that's my plan (and budget...!) sorted for the tournament. Planning on 21 games in total, 20 in the men's tournament and the wheelchair final. Bit of a shame that the kick off times leave it a little too tight to be hot-footing it between grounds bar one or two exceptions, but I'm very much looking forward to it all the same. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A combination of which venues applied and having to meet the requirements of the Northern Powerhouse funding. 1 Quote Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.
