Quote: gingdong "If the RFL are to keep any credibility then both Cas and Wakey should go, both have had letters about the state of there grounds and the RFL have stated that any grounds not ready by 2012 will not be taken into consideration. So however much spin is put on it by dickie Wright the bottom line is GH will not be taken into consideration. Leigh have a superb new stadium, as do Widnes, as for the Shay if the remedials are completed in time for July they have a great facility. They have also stated that the 2 clubs that miss out today will be assessd along with the other super league clubs. If i was a cas fan i would be very worried'"


No, if the RFL were to have any credabillity they would get rid of 2 of Wakey and Crusaders. I'm not like a lot of people on here who wish ill of Wakey and to be honest it's a massive shame whats happened over there IMO but surely the 2 clubs who deserve to be relegated are the 2 sides who have been in administration in the last 3 years (crusaders twice F F S)?

I dont know why people have any hostillity towards Widnes or Fax infact i think they both deserve licenses. But if Cas are thrown out before Crusaders i'd love to see how it's going to be justified.

I disagree icon_smile.gif

P&R between different comps at different levels (professional and semi pro; or semi-pro and amateur) doesn't work and only damages clubs.

P&R within a comp, between different divisions at the same level does. I look forward to the day when we have enough clubs strong enough to be fully professional that we can look at introducing two divisions with P&R. But I think that's a good few years off yet.

kcab sfrawdder 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



Quote: tb "I disagree
Considering that generally interest is waning in the Championships ( despite it being a fantastic competition ) , that isn't going to happen in a hurry , and as an aside to the general feel of the recent posts

Why do people watch live sport ?

It isn't to see two teams playing each other , it is to ' feel ' the emotion of being in an arena with an atmosphere , quite often of us against them , there is a big crowd on at Headingley right now , with drums banging , fans singing and cheering partly because of a large and vociferous away support

If it was just to see two good teams play each other all those fans would be sat at home or in the pub , getting a better view , seeing more of the action , watching all the replays , saving a fortune , but they don't , they tip up , ' to be there '

Leigh are paying for coaches to bring Widnes fans to the game at the LSV next week , why ? , to bump up our average by a few hundred ? , no , to make money out of them ?, no as it is a split gate , we are doing it to try to improve the atmosphere at a game , in the hope that more home fans will attend and want to come back

We don't want a ' sanitized ' nice squeaky clean sport , we want atmosphere , emotion , we want to ' feel '

That is why people attend live sport , about time the RFL realised that

But they've nothing to play for. If they win the SL GF they don't get to be promoted to another competition, they just get to do it all over again. Just like teams in the Championship. Or teams in the Rugby League Conference National Division. In fact the only teams with anything to play for in your world are those in Championship 1. By rights, that should be the only compeition booming.
Mind if teams do win that and get promoted, then they've nothing to play for.

Well strangely in every sport you will eventually reach the peak , where you are correct , you cannot go any higher , and yes you are correct , that does apply in the amateur game as well , But that wasn't the point being made was it ?

You completely ignored that as usual
