Clubs like Leicester Tigers, Northampton Saints, Newcastle Falcons, Bath etc attract support from a wide area specifically because they represent the whole county or region. Given time the new Cornwall club could do the same. But I’m not holding my breath.
The four clubs you name Kev have a very long history in a very long established sport Bath going back to something like 1865, there is no comparison.
Such clubs are in areas of high population where Rugby Union has been established well over a century and a half, with respect mate no comparison.
The direct comparison is Blackpool Borough, albeit the Borough were a lot closer to the RL heartlands
I can't remember holidaymakers flocking to games there.
They folded then it was tried again as Blackpool Panthers who didn't do any better and managed 400 crowds. Perez may manage this if he gives away enough free tickets and leaves the gates open for people to access the beer festival
You suggest Mr. Perez is a bit of a Jester, we shall see.......
