Sports Quarter Rugby (27 replies)
Slight bit of interest in the attached Guardian article regarding the future expansion and potential franchised model being proposed for top level Rugby Union in England.

"Interestingly, it is understood that the RFU has been approached about the possibility of a top team potentially being based in Birmingham in future as part of the new multipurpose Birmingham City stadium project. The city’s existing top club, Birmingham Moseley, sit third from bottom in National League One, the third tier of the English men’s game."
So that's the Sports Quarter seeing the city being linked with an NBA Europe and Premiership Rugby team in recent weeks.
