| they'll never learn, I mean its good that there interested in the game and thats good but not hamper our league even further with these give them a go teams with naff all supporters. Erm I think weve been here before
mansfield, nottingham, South Wales RL then bridgend, Kent invicta, Carlisle, Blackpool, Gateshead, london and sheffield
most of them became great forces in rugby league didn't they, didn't they?
welsh have always been interested in rl but thats as far as it goes it ru through and through. Some of you smart fans think in dream worlds were rl is a global brand it isn't get over it.
Thankyou

Last season South Wales Scorpions had an average attendance of around 600, one of the better averages in the league. Hardly naff all supporters. Championship 1 heartland teams are hardly pulling up trees in terms of support , why should we exclude teams who have the same or a couple of hundred fewer supporters if they think they can make the step up? I think you would have to be seriously deluded to think that new professional Welsh teams are a bad thing when they get hundreds of new supporters watching the game on a weekly basis.

ITS NOT GOING TO TAKE OFF THOUGH IS IT! making the leagues dispersed mean smaller clubs like Swinton and workington get even less away support. They've already tried South Wales in the early nineties and they didn't get far, I mean yes i'm happy for them to have a good go but my point is they never get far unless they get silly like blackpool and gateshead have done recenly and pump money in and buy players but not run it sustainably thats why they get into trouble.
Anywat get real pal hundreds of new supporters eveyweek lets see how well they do in five years shall we. I think your a typical modern fan lets all live in a lovey dovey world of rl look how great we are, we are not.

Okay, your right, no one will ever want to play or watch the game outside of the M62 corridor because it's rubbish, clubs in South Wales will never get far and even in the long run it will never take off because Union is a far more interesting game, and we just can't hope to compete with that scintillating spectator sport. We should just roll over and concede defeat, not bother with any new professional clubs and just stick with the small player pool that we've got, remain static and hope that the international game improves on it's own.

| To be fair though the area around St David's and the whole of the Pembrokeshire coast is amongst the most beautiful you will encounter. can't see pro Rugby taking off though, too remote and inaccessible

| I love seeing RL expand all over the UK to be honest and I very pro expansion of the sport. I have a keen interest in the South West league which includes all the West Country. They started having Cornwall vs Devon origin matches too! I would love to see more origins series'.
I have been keeping an eye on the Scorpions and yes they have Welsh players too! When Hemel joins Co-Op 1 soon it will help the competition in London.
The way I see it - more league expansion means more p***ing off of the onion supporters and officials. I know the hardcore onion west country fans are turning towards league now.
