    Meh, still going to involve some treks if Epynt is used. As for the range of 'accomodation' available, I can just see Loriaux in a B&B in Rhyl. Someone better tell the hoteliers quick before they book their close season sun holidays!! Deeside ain't no location I ever heard of (Sam L Jackson voice) - Ssssh whisper it - Chester!! (It's almost welsh)
    Kris Meeke got fired -PSG so terrified they quit!

    Yes I know like Teeside is in England... but it is an area NOT a location, or did they build Deeside New Town from the wreckage of Connors Quay and Flint when I wasn't looking?

    Don't think moving from Cardiff to Conwy will encourage any greater numbers of fans compared to the 2011 event. Still going to need a remote at Builth too, I shouldn't wonder.

    No were near radical enough - needs a complete overhaul! And while the Welsh Assembly provide backing, I'm not sure that's possible.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    About time, if this comes off...

    Masses of rally fans in the Midlands and Northern England will be much more likely to attend if based in N.Wales - me for one.

    Personally I can't see the logic in the move - with Clocaenog and Dyfnant out of bounds due to massive windfarm developments there isn't the stage mileage available in the North anymore, so it'll be more or less as you were with regards to stage usage.

    Plus Wrexham is a total ****hole.

    If they do go ahead with it, hopefully they can plan a decent route.
