I'm sure that Wests, Hull Wyke, Skirlaugh, Myton etc would love the opportunity to host the games, boost their coffers over the bar etc and give their junior sections a chance to support it. Should be looking after our own.
“R.B.A” you are quite correct, our amateur rl teams should benefit from the pro game, but don’t we already play at Brantingham home of another Union side, as fans we can only vote with our feet, it is ultimately AP and the club who decides our venue. But rest assured the RFU will not profit from my attendance on Saturday, as my grandson at three will suffice an ice cream, I will make do with my old Holborn, and the whippet will be happy to drink the puddles on the walk there.
