They would much rather have gone to one in Cardiff instead....
N9thing in South West
I'm not aware of any chain with anywhere near as many clubs across the country geared to hosting these qualifiers. Even leaving aside their position as sponsor, you'd be mad to bin them off completely.
That said, looking at your map, there's definitely an argument for finding non-Riley's venues for a qualifier in Bristol for the south west and, say, Southampton to cover the south coast (no idea if such venues exist in these places).
It's not like Riley's could complain about "competitor's venues" being used, is it?
