[QUOTE="PommyDave, post: 234891"] Agree. Some even argue that Bristol is in the SW. People don't realise that it's closer to London than it is to much of Cornwall. Exeter Chiefs up the path look to have a decent base to push on, as do Albion, not so sure about the Pirates. I guess it's tradition as much as anything. Cornwall is a hotbed of rugby, but it's population is fairly spread. They love their county rugby too. Plymouth is more a football city (ManYoo, Liverpool fans galore mind), but it's population gets behind anything with half a sniff of success. Argyle could become massive and sustain a huge fanbase if it ever gets up to the top. Likewise Albion have plenty of scope for growth. To be fair the steps they've made with Dawe in charge in recent years are more than putting them in the frame to do so. [/QUOTE]
