Now I'm not sure how reliable this info is, but I've just been told East Manchester Rugby club (I think that's who he said) have all of a sudden, literally over night, turned pro to the leagues surprise. The guy told me it's because MCFC have now started funding them & they are/will be playing near to the Etihad.
Now does this suggest City are planning a professional rugby club? We did hear rumours of this some years ago but nothing ever happened. As I say it's just a rumour I've heard in passing this morning but is interesting if true & would increase revenue if a clubs using the City name, facilities etc. of course it could just be City funding them for no other reason than helping them out through CITC but one to keep an eye on perhaps?
