Sorry to drag this back up

Twitter / rugbyworldcup: The #RWC2015 venue announcement ...

Reckon that could be the Amex?

So when do they make announce the stadiums, I thought I read last year it would happen in January. What a great advert for the city if it happens.

It would be brilliant. I would definitely get a ticket for this.

I think it's a run off between us and St Mary's for one of the slots. I thought the decision was to be made in March.

with the amount of corporate the Amex can hold over Saints ground, I'd say the Amex is probably a show in for this.....

Let's face it, the Amex is superior to St Mary's in every respect apart from capacity. The only way it would lose out is because of geographical location - Brighton too close to London venues.

Exciting, really really hope the Amex gets it- would be something special!!

I really, really want to see World Cup rugby at the Amex. Even if it is a borefest between two tier 3 nations, I would love to be there.

Article in Guardian yesterday said they wouldn't be able to use the Olympic stadium as planned. Something do with building work being done for when West Ham move in. So that's one less.

Hope the AMEX gets some games, I share a Quins season ticket and would definately come down for a game or two.

Was thinking West stand upper, Rugby fans should be at home in this nice quiet area.

I too am a Quins STH, and I have long since adjusted to the knowledge that it is one thing that unites me with a number of Palace fans...

Good man BP, I'm in the south stand (cheap seats). Manage 3-4 away trips every season as well.

Anyany fingers crossed for RWC at the AMEX.

Cheap seats for me too, and about the same away trips. I always go to Leicester and Northampton.
