Celtic Crusaders started in NL2 with an amalgamation of welsh conference sides. The Irish conference needs to be up to providing the players for a NL2 side.

The (then) Broncos (now Quinz) used to play on the road games while their home pitch was being re-surfaced. Catalans are playing two on-the-road games this year, though they will be in France/Spain, not Ireland.

I don't see why there couldn't be some games taken on the road, except that currently this is being done, "en masse" to Scotland.

Maybe the big trip to a new venue could be replaced by an on-the-road round in a few years, but I can't see the two happening in the same year - who will go to scotland, France and Dublin all in one year?

I was merely responding to a post that said RL wouldnt be played at Donnybrook (which it has), and offering the view that it is a dump (which it is) and isnt ideal to get to (which it isnt IN MY EXPERIENCE. We pretty much stumbled on the stadium after travelling past it on a random bus from the city.

12,000 people travelling on a few buses from Dublin isnt an ideal situation.

finally - knowing which bus to gets only helps if you have that information in advance and know where to get the bus from.

Sorry....maybe I was OTT.
As a pub crawl, it's not an ideal route, but (and I am going back to 82) there are 2 bars near by Keileys and madigans, busses every 5 minutes on 2 routes as above and it is about 4 or 5 euros in a cab from St Stephens Green
It has been refurbed and although as I am biased I played there as a schoolboy and then as a bective player, i fully appreciate it could do with a lick of paint, but then again...have you been to wakey/castleford/salford or K-road recently :shock:
Not saying it would have to be here, but if planned correctly and with the right potential investors invited, this could be a great showcase event for SL in ireland.
Just an idea

Croke Park is way to big and you would have the almost impossible task of getting the GAA to approve it.There is no way they would allow 6/7 Rugby League games to be played on their pitch over 2 days and it would also interfere with the hurling and Gaelic football games which are also played at the same time of year as Rugby League.
Dublin is a non starter for our game :(



tolka park has hosted wolfhounds games so really it would be a good base for a coop league team.






HISTORY IS LITTERED WITH UNTHRUTH'S:

I CAN ASSURE YOU THERE IS NOT A HURRICANE ON IT'S WAY TO BRITAIN............MICHAEL FISH (BBC WEATHERMAN).

I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN..............BILL CLINTON (PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.A).

OUR STADIUM WILL BE READY FOR THE 2010 SEASON................JOHN WILKINSON (SALFORD CHAIRMAN).

ARE PRIME EXAMPLES.........

building a new stadium at only 5-7k doesnt sound particularly ambitous

If they make SL they can look at a new stadium, but why the love does a Championship club need more than a 7000 capacity? Not every new Championship team has to aim for SL in 3 years
