- The RFU are taking a look at methods to enhance Twickenham to maneuver with the occasions
- To maneuver the group away from its present location would have been a nasty transfer
- One concept that has been proposed is that a few of the seats could possibly be taken out
I did not agree with the RFU’s choice to do a sponsorship cope with Allianz which has concerned altering the identify of the bottom everyone knows as Twickenham.
Nonetheless, I’m very happy that the house of English rugby will stay the place it has been when it comes to its geographical place for a few years to come back.
To maneuver the bottom away from its present location to someplace like Birmingham – as was explored by the RFU – would, for my part, have been an terrible choice.
English rugby should at all times be related to Twickenham, even when the stadium’s identify is technically now one thing completely different.
I am happy the RFU wish to replace Twickenham and take the stadium into the fashionable period. For those who have a look at a few of the different sports activities stadia in England – not to mention elsewhere around the globe – it’s clear Twickenham is now a bit behind. It’s removed from alone in being that by the way in which. Manchester United‘s Outdated Trafford additionally falls into that class.

It’s about time that the RFU gave ‘the world’s greatest pub’ had a makeover – you will need to sustain with the occasions
I have been to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, for instance, and that’s only a great, fashionable venue. England and the RFU want to maneuver with the occasions and retaining Twickenham as a world-leading floor is a vitally necessary a part of doing simply that. In fashionable enterprise {and professional} sport, you fall behind at your peril.
I significantly like the concept being proposed of taking out a few of the seats. Much less can generally be extra. Up to now I’ve raised my displeasure at how tight the spectators are packed collectively and the way troublesome it’s to observe the sport when these in the identical space as you’re consistently getting as much as go to the bar or to the toilet.
As I’ve beforehand mentioned, Twickenham – or ought to I say Allianz Stadium – can really feel just like the world’s greatest pub and any steps to attempt to enhance on which can be to be applauded.
Taking out a couple of seats ought to make the expertise higher for followers who need to watch the rugby and never spend 80 minutes simply trying to find a beer.
