    Rugby at CCS??

    Re: Rugby at CCS??

    No thanks. Whats all this ‘judgement day’ crap anyway. The highest Welsh region in the URC is 9th in the table and unlikely to be anywhere near the top next June. Scarlets are rock bottom with a points difference of -87 ! They should call it ‘wooden spoon day’ instead. PS. I know they have only played two games but thats not the point.

    Weren't you dead against having the upper tier in the Ninian stand only recently? Looks like the extra seating could have made us the money if the egg chooses to go there.

    No issue with it at all. It's an honour for City that we can host such events IMO.

    It is a big event in the URC actually, but my point is that where else can host it bar the Millennium Stadium? We should be glad we have a decent Stadium

    Re: Rugby at CCS??

    It’s an admission that they can’t fill the Millennium- I’ve no problem with the games being played there.

    Not a problem at all.
    Many, if not all, of the stadiums used in the rugby world cup are primarily football grounds.
    The only lovers really are the pubs in town.

    Ideally I'd like to see an end to this judgement day nonsense. But if it's got to be somewhere then I don't see anything wrong with holding it at the ccs

    football season is long over by then with more than enough time for the pitch to recover

    If the income goes against the football club accounts and help us with 'Fair Play' rulings I can't see any reason to say no.

    Re: Rugby at CCS??

    As long as it's end of our season I can't see the problem.

    £50 or £60 a ticket sounds about fair

    The event would probably earn City around ~ £100,000 which is money not accounted for.

    Does anybody know how much City receive from the Welsh FA for hosting Wales games. It must be close to £600,000 per annum, all additional revenue streams which is vital for cashflow, especially in the close season.

    On, but slightly off topic, I agree if applied to football for all decisions.

    Last season that would have been spent on 0.834 of Ryan Allsop save.

    The Kiwis are just bitter because their decades of "slight" cheating is now being pulled up by the TMO. Their first yellow card in the final was pure cheating and dangerous. It should've been a red card.

    I don't think VAR should be ditched but refined using increasingly quicker technology.

    Re: Rugby at CCS??

    VAR is awful.

    Someone said that the VAR guy should get one look at the incident in real time, not slow motion. That’s it. Any obviously wrong decision would be overturned, otherwise we crack on. I like that idea. Obviously there is a chance the VAR guy could cock it up too but I’m fine with that, we live in an imperfect world.

    One replay, full speed, to overturn any obviously horrific on field errors. Otherwise STFU and play on

    The point is that the season will be over and it would produce revenue before the pitch gets relaid.

    This. I am very glad we no longer ground share as it obviously damages the pitch. Objecting to rugby being played on it when any damage is irrelevant and puts money in our pocket is daft.
