Talk:London Irish

Why Reading?
Why do they play in Reading? --AW 21:51, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Pre 1995, rugby union was amateur and watched by very few people at club level. Attendences at top clubs were in the hundreds and sometimes even lower. Consequently, very few clubs have stadiums that are remotely comparable to football (soccer) stadiums and not nearly good enough for the days of 10,000 people attending matches.
 * Nobody but Arsenal or Chelsea could possibly afford to build a new stadium in London. It is too expensive, as a result top clubs share facilities with whichever soccer club will have them. Why Reading? I don't know why exactly other than they are fairly near London and have a newish stadium.GordyB 14:40, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Some work needed.
The current playing staff list is out of date, I don't have the knowhow to fix it.

I also love how the Current Playing squad and Notable former Players section contradict. —The preceding --86.148.176.236 10:10, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

London Irish Amateur
Given their progress up the RFU pyramid, is it time to spit London Irish Amateur into a separate article? Hamish59 (talk) 20:08, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes. It was one previously before an AFD went for a merge on it.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 20:40, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I will give it a few days, and if there is no strong objection, I will split. Hamish59 (talk) 21:21, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
