Welcome to CALDY Rugby Football Club

The key to ground criteria is the definition of "Stand" we have a big stand capable of holding over 2000 , just no roof or seats.

Quite the opposite, we are happy with who we are , it should be the other clubs that  could be paranoid and  will need to accept that, unless the championship decides what it is , Professional, Semi Professional, Community clubs or possibly even amateur!! there will be no real future, many clubs are already Semi Professional with more coming to the end of their Sponsors support. Only today in the Telegraph there was a discussion on the possibility of an under 23 league to give academy players more game time, what will that do to the championship sides? Perhaps a radical solution would be to limit championship clubs to English players only and to develop from within. This might also help develop the English game.

God forbid a muddy pitch ( whatever you do not install a 3 G artificial pitch , dead ball area, distance of barriers from pitch, location of medical attendance and more. Are you a 'real club ' are you a ' proper club' whatever that means I have read on here several differing explanations on what a ' proper' club is.  Beer.....to some one of THE most important ingredients of a Saturday out . Availability , how long it takes to get a beer, the temperature , the taste,  texture , aroma. Parking , distance to clubhouse ..  beer . TOILETS, very very important ,size availability queuing time ,smell !  Players , coaching backroom staff . Players.  Are they homegrown , did you entice them away, do they sit on the bench. Have taken them on only to deny another team !.   Attendance, seating arrangements , are there covered , cushioned heated seats. Programme , content ,accuracy , print size. Your gates . I believe your gates a zinc coated , galvanised 5 v or six bar and are usually left open. I have this from a reliable source.  Be prepared this barrage . Again welcome it is a fantastic league and can produce incredible Rugby

Welcome No 7 To Caldy based on the Wirral with 16 Acres of land leased from the National Trust since it was donated to them in 1924 by our benefactor Sir Alfred Paton. 

decent single malt and or Bitter is more to the taste up here at Caldy .We only have Champers on exec club coach trips where we work on at least a bottle per person each way ,and to be honest we prefer Cristal.

Interesting, i'd imagine on average potentially 1100-1400 then could be seen. Will make for a good atmosphere.

The Rugby Paper seems to quote attendances of between 700 and 800 recently, which compares favourably with some at a higher level, and no doubt will grow somewhat next season.
