Rodbaston was great until they decided to charge for everything they did as an extra.
ie, if we needed the tractor for something the minimum charge was £30.00 even if it was five minutes and they was on-site.
We was not allowed to use telegraph poles so we had to use scaffolding.
There are a lot of reasons that ultimately made us chose to leave but for me the straw that broke the camels back was when they sprayed silage on the playing fields.

They actually contacted myself last year to talk about paintball and nothing had changed.

I thought it was a great position geographically but laking in other respects

there is a great field in burntwood you could probably get 6 x 7man fields on it, i dont know if it would be available to use, i couldnt see any harm in asking the question if the interest was there ?

Build it and they will come.
The Midlands sucks when it comes to training, nowhere to go so you have to travel which puts off anybody not commited

Love it how you midlanders hate each other, when it was at Rodbasten the East complained now its at Ancaster the West complain. From where I live travelling time to both is 90 min approx

Well i'm a northerner but yet not that far north as a Geordie and I believe the best place would be somewhere just north east of Nottingham :D
