Gav Wilson Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Give Cornwall a chance. If it works, we have a brand new catchment area and a few thousand new Rugby League fans. If it doesn't, what have we really lost in the grand scheme of things? 29 1 @GavWilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect Gary Schofield won't be choughed. 1 6 I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Ray Cashmere Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Transparency is going to be key if this is to get the buy in from fellow League 1 clubs/ the wider rugby league community. Is an agreement in place for the club to move into Stadium for Cornwall upon its completion? What is the club's plans for grassroots and junior rugby league in the region? What discussions have taken place with key regional stakeholders (Cornish Pirates, Cornwall Council, Exeter Uni etc)? What is the strategy for player recruitment? Local union players, existing League 1 players, mixture of both? I'd love this to work but, for it to, the RFL must have done their due diligence and be able to present a business case to more sceptical members.

Player recruitment for mine must be predominantly southern, maybe some London born players too and Is Bob Beswick still playing. Edited November 2, 2021 by Mumby Magic Like poor jokes?

Blind side johnny Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Isn't there a meeting of Championship and C1 clubs tomorrow? Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugby in Cornish is "rugbi" so it would probably make sense to put the Roman numerals after it, "Rugbi XIII". 1 1 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

It is name checked in the press releases. Obviously it has not been built yet and still appears to be seeking the required funding. That is the whole point of asking these questions. It is Eric Perez and the RFL's job to do the due diligence/business plan, not mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
