cidered abroad Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 I think I read somewhere, but cannot remember where, that the Rugby Premiership have a rule that their clubs are only allowed membership of the Premiership if they are one of two clubs that regularly use the nominated home stadium/pitch. If that is correct, the use of our stadium for a third sport would mean the Bristol Bears could be expelled. As I've said, I vaguely remember seeing this somewhere in the last year. But if I'm wrong, then apologies all round and I'll wait for the men in white coats to come and collect me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was an issue for one off games like the RL World Cup then the same would apply were City to stage and England Ladies game for example or even, taking it to extremes, a Somerset exhibition cricket match (which we have had at AG in the past).

It would look a mess afterwards. Remembered when an NFL game was played down the gate ,and it took ages to clear it off. We had a game on tv after that and it looked terrible That’s a bit of a ‘small time’ way of looking at it....our pitch can now cope with logo removal with no problems....any opportunity to highlight our club to the national and worldwide audiences should be taken....it can’t do any harm and, as a national supermarket chain pronounced “Every Little Helps”....

Although I’d much rather see league at AG, which is easily the superior form of the game, than the kick and clap Yawnion rubbish that currently takes place there. I couldn’t care less about the Bristol Bears. Totally agree - League by far a much more exciting game with less pointless rules and more free flowing action. I spent 10 years living in Sydney watching NRL and by comparison Union is slow and too heavily weighted towards kicking and not scoring tries for points.

It must have been nearly 30 years ago, eek!! It would've been when there was quite a big interest in the NFL over here - first time around. Bristol had a team called the Bombers if I recall correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe financial considerations a complete lack of ambition and foresight as usual were the key. Corrected for accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
