Well as a life long rugbian, I thought I'd write about my lovely hometown of Rugby, I hear people slate our town all the time, whether it be work colleagues or friends or even past reviews etc, but to be honest although there obviously are some bad points about Rugby, there are those in every town of the UK, we all have our bad areas, overall I think Rugby is a really nice town, with some great people and a lot of history, and I think that if you know what places to look at and what Rugby has to offer you will not be disappointed. *****Places to visit that come be of interest***** **Webb Ellis Rugby Museum** The game of Rugby football was ...  Read the complete review

I used to work in Rugby a few years ago, i have family and friends that also live in Rugby so the time ive spent there at work and with them and their views of the town are what im basing this review on. To be honest which is what these reviews are all about, i wouldnt recommend a visit, a home, a job, a shop, a sports facility anywhere in rugby! The town is very small, the skyline dominated by the beauty of a cement works, the shopping centre is, hmmmmm rediculous that its called a shopping centre! The few times i did venture into the town for some nightlife after work i would always see a fight between rival chav gangs that hang around the town centre. Selection of ...  Read the complete review

Well what can i say about Rugby. Not alot really, not much at all to be honest its small has no shop and then all the good ones you do get end up closing. Oh and the nightlife i wouldnt recommend it - unless you want to be mugged, stabbed or beaten. A bit harsh......no not really, knife crime is at an all time high, with the papers reporting of stabbings most weeks, one recently that was fatal, and there was a report of a shooting this week and a man beaten by a baseball bat by a gand 0f 6. i know all towns etc have a bad part and i know that some people like to have a quiet and boring life, but really you literally have ...  Read the complete review

I moved to Rugby around 5 years ago, and what can I say... dull! There is very little to do in Rugby, it has a overpriced cinema and bowling alley out of the town and not on any pubic transport routes! There are 2 soft play zones, 1 at the sports centre that is filthy and you risk your child coming out with all sorts of bugs afterwards, and one on an industrial estate, again not covered bu public transport. The swimming pool is in the town centre and is very dirty, the changing rooms smell from the drains and the classes held are inconsistant, and its currently closed due to tiles falling from the ceiling!! There are no swimming sessions after ...  Read the complete review

Well what can i say about my sunny hometown of Rugby. Not alot really, well what we are famous for is Mr William Webb Ellis who invented the game of rugby that day in 1823,(oh and we have just been told that he is not an historical figure, rugby observer sept 2008), then of course there is Rugby school and of course there is the beautiful rugby skyline dominated by the constant cloud of pollution pouring out of the fabulous cement works tower, and the best reason has got to be......yes the gladitor nightshade is from sunny rugby.....Woooohoooooo!!!! Well i really would love to do a cracking review of rugby but the truth is i can't.......the shops ...  Read the complete review
