Pulga Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Good to see a few L1 clubs and Hull KR welcome them on Twitter. Sad to see the same insular fans trot out their usual ######. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristianB Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 In pursuit of a little balance, herewith some optimism: First, Cornwall punches far above its demographic weight when it comes to producing rugby players and athletes. A good example of this is the Bill Beaumont RU County Championship which, over recent years, has been dominated by four sides: three Rugby League heartland counties (Yorkshire, Cheshire, and Lancashire) and Cornwall. So, looking ahead to the future, Cornwall is somewhat likely to become a net exporter of Rugby League players. Also note that its population is in excess of 560,000 - more than St. Helens, Wigan, and Widnes combined. Second, the game we all love has just embedded itself as far south and as far west as it is possible in mainland Britain. Celebrate it. Third, those travelling to follow their teams will be sure to receive a great welcome at The Memorial Ground in Penryn for the club's first season. My son has played for Penryn RFC juniors, and I cannot speak highly enough of those involved with the oldest Rugby club in Cornwall. What is more, it is just minutes away from some of the most beautiful scenery you will find in the country. 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hallucinating Goose Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I'm a bit late to these threads about Cornwall, was too busy watching an Italian Job/Raiders of the Lost Ark double bill! Well, good luck to Cornwall RLFC then. I agree with the OP I think, we haven't lost anything if it doesn't work out and if it does then that's nothing but fantastic for the sport! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristianB Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 For those who have never been, this is Falmouth and Penryn. Not a bad place to launch a Rugby League team, but I am biased. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hallucinating Goose Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I don't know if they do anymore due to the pandemic but if they do it wouldn't be hard for heartland fans to get down there cos Eastern Airways certainly used to (as I say don't know if they still do) fly from Leeds to Newquay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
