What?
Clearly your not an accountant like griff.
I have put this on your forum
If you look at our forum, Mike Riley has explained why it isn't Blackpool and why it isn't a Super League ground, check it out and then say where you would prefer it.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

I dont need to be an accountant to realise that if 2,000 less fans attend , the savings wont be very much , chuck in potentially less merchandice sales and you could end up worse off

I cant see the Shay doing that , also how will they allocate the 2 Bowl finalists money ?'"
You've stopped watching Leigh anyway haven't you? Or was it all hot air? One thing's for sure, we won't need your bloody hose pipe

Thacks for the answer. I think thats wrong really. The Championship clubs dont have much money to start with and the RFL must know that. The RFL have been making profit this past 7 years. And the comp has a sponsor. I would have expected the RFL to pay atleast 50% of the costs of hiring the ground etc.
I can understand why the final is moved but I would prefer a neutral ground maybe like Rochdale, Doncaster, Salford or Wakefield and the day special. Playing at The Shay if we get there willl just be another game. Same if played at Leigh and Leigh make it or Fev and Fev make it.

icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

Me too, they have that many different players from other clubs they wouldn't have home advantage even if they got to the final.
As i have said before it's just daft to me and takes something away from it.
Having said that if i'm not on my jollies i will be going whoever gets there.

| Mixed feelings but it is good for Halifax as a town and the Shay as a venue, as for Fax well its an incentive to get to the Final as despite what others say we would have a good turn out as there is no travelling involved for us so will be cheap. Bringing it forward to the Saturday is a good idea as well as the Bowl Final as the Championship One clubs need another cup that they can win as they are very unlikely to get to the NRC Final especially with the enlarged Championship.
I will probably go even if we don't get there.

I take it that you mean the principle's wrong. Worth pointing out that it's not so long ago that a neutral venue took 10% of the gate money as ground rent.

| Griff, Its also worth pointing out that if sheffield actually took some fans ( a reasonable amount ) when they got to finals then there would be more money in the pot, Perhaps this is a reason its also been voted on by the championship clubs. So they are not too reliant on who gets to the final, IE Fev, leigh, fax etc all bring the most fans and increase the gate.
Sheffield Vs Hunslet down at the shay would be a nightmare.

So we're getting blamed for finals we've never actually been in, then ?
