James Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 St. James Park is part of the England and Wales bid for the 2015 Rugby World Cup. Therefore we face the prospect of cut up pitches here and a few other places, as it is an Autumn tournament. Rugby can fuck off, there are plenty of good enough stadia around the place.

maze Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 maybe they can fight the bad spirits surrounding the area as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Chill oot, would be great. Besides in 2015 the pitch will be some kind of organic free range nanotube rug. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Rugby fans in general are such a more pleasant bunch than football ones. It's a shame the sport is more or less shit though, can only watch it when Ireland or Leinster are playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Do we get any income from this? Hopefully. Plus prestige for the city, tourist dollar etc. /not rising to your cynicism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I actively encourage this. Would love to go to the matches, especially if we get a big team playing here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TêteDeMaure Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Would be fucking brill. Couldn't imagine the SOS holding a rugby game like, it just wouldn't look right. Not that they were even mentioned like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil K Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I'd be happy with it - to say it would bugger up the pitch is daft Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Liam Liam O Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Do we get any income from this? Hope so, we wouldn't want a repeat of the Rod Stewart concert which ended up costing us money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elbel1 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 f*** Rugby I don't want anything to get in the way of Champions League qualification next season. As it won't happen until 2015 it won't affect our hopes next season But it could hamper our hopes of retaining the champions league for a 4th successive season...............

afar Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Rugby Union is a great sport Rugby League is wank. Would be great to see the world cup played at SJP. The pitch will be fine. I doubt we'll win the bid though, probably go to Japan, but we'll get it next time we bid for it, which will probably be 2019. And btw, it's not a combined England and Wales bid, it's just England bidding on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRL Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I was brought up in the West Country, very rugby orientated place, i can't stand Union, all this "we're all real manly men, look at us grabbing each others talliwackers in the shower, but we aren't gay, we're super-rugged and just having fun" League on the other hand i enjoy. High paced and fun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
