Kevin's comments in the local press about the Villa Park venue for the World Cup are valid. I believe we must really take advantage of the excitement and promotional value of the event in 2015.
My wish is that we can sit down with Albert Bore and co and work on the opportunity to use the competition to improve our status, in the world of rugby and finance the enhancement of facilities at Billesley with maybe Euro/ Big/,Sports Council/ RFU grant funding and to promote rugby in the region. While its hard financial times up on Victoria Square the Council must see the advantages of supporting such moves to cement R.U. as an important player in offering the 1million population sporting, well being and self development opportunities with facilities to match what is likely to be a massive spin off of the World Cup.
We can all guess that the London clubs will be hovering around for funding from RUHQ or in partnerships with other organisations to take full advantage of the world class event; we should be doing the same here in Birmingham. A perfect opportunity beckons to move the Club upwards and place and sustain rugby as a major player in the region with the regions senior rugby club.
Totall agreement groove avenue. Lets get Moseley a higher profile on the back of the World Cup. If we cannot do it on such an ocassion, something will be very wrong. BUT, the World Cup is not untill 2015 and we should not be leaving it untill then. Lets try to do something now. Come on you Mooooose and Mose Fans.

An opportunity not to be missed/capitalised upon. Perhaps a good start would be to remind the RFU of our club's involvement with the 2007 World Cup? (ie, Messrs Bressington, Mason, Arnold et al, featuring on the front covers of the matchday programmes.)
My initial thought here is 1) Moseley play a 'home' game on the Sunday at Villa Park - before the main event would be ideal. 2) every programme has a voucher for the following home game at Billesley.
Maybe even a £5 off in the club shop type offer as well. This is a golden opportunity that must be grasped with hands, ruck and maul!
