Great news. We have the facilities to use after the Olympics - lots to look forward to in 2012 and now 2013

It has been deliberately delayed by a year to 2013 to avoid the Olympics and will continually avoid it after that. Yep the Olympic stadium as well as the Stoop will get some use we would hope. Chances of an England group game at The Stoop??

And as much as I'm sure you guys don't give a damn, thought I'd say England are hosting the 2015 Rugby Union RWC.

All we need now is the football world cup and it's a decade of the largest sport events in our merry country...get in!

See how radio has given plenty of coverage to the RU world cup announcement with just a passing mention to The RL World Cup.

On Five Live Will Greenwood sating how he be from the North West
was glad that this part of the country is getting such big RU world cup matches!

Some coverage just now, though after the Union, of course. Is it a stroke of genius of a bone-headed blunder to announce the two on the same day?
