ATLANTISMAN Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Soon to be announced ARMY v RAF in early October this year on TV as a trailer to a 3 team tournament on TV in 2023. Will be totally brilliant the Union Army v Navy attracts now a full house every year at Twickenham and a 3 team forces Rugby League comp (RAF are quite strong) has massive potential at both mens and female level. Website coming soon and venues which will be really innovative. Sponsors are lined up and major announcements in the new year. P 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivarr the Boneless Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I live in Aldershot and regularly watch the Army RL. The gate rarely rises into three figures even though about 16k soldiers - plus families - live in Aldershot Command. Forces RL is hugely undersold, they generally don't even advertise fixtures in Aldershot. I hope things move forwards but there's no chance of Army RL rivalling RU for spectators. That boat has sailed. I'm not a burglar but if I was I could retire on my takings from the date of any Army v Navy RU game at Twickenham. Aldershot sees a mass exodus. Most have no idea of the final score, but they have a nice day out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sports Prophet Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Some of my most enjoyable UK RL moments were at Armed Forces fixtures. The intensity back then was brilliant. I hope it still is. I highly recommend any of these fixtures as a must see if you are nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
