Admin phantom Posted October 26, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 I see that the English rugby league have given approval for a new team to be based in Bristol from the 2019 season, and due to conditions met this side will go straight into the first division... I wonder..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary thing is mr Lansdown will probably build another stadium just for rugby would not even surprise me at all rugby at uwe scared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he can secure the funding with a charge against the pasty hut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashtonwurzel Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Might be connected to the new academy that is to be built within 3 years (just signed for 2 more years at SG). Rugby league could potentially be played at a small all weather venue like the one that will be required for a new academy. Also could house the basketball. Basically it could be one massive multisport arena/academy set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 I imagine it is Bristol Sport and Ashton Gate - can't see any alternatives - but to be honest Rugby League in the South is never going to attract many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolmoose Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Three! I love RL too. Mrs Moose is from Leeds and a proper RL nut and Headingley Southstander. Introduced me to it back in t'day when they didn't have silly names or owt. I look on jealously whenever t'Rhinaws lift yet more silverware! Would be great to have local RL games.

As many as RFL in the north and then to the west, about 4500 kms west... 'Toronto Wolfpack' - first transatlantic sports team apparently, been active almost as long as Bristol's newest football league team... I suppose Toronto vs. any kind of Bristol sport (deliberate lower case) team would get me attending this side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two - much more exciting game than union for me - would love a RL team under the BS umbrella to go and watch - provided of course fixtures do not clash with the first passion of the mighty reds !!
