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.
