Quote: Gareth1 "This reminds me about the way the apethetic RL fan base moan and complain about the lack of investment in international Rugby League but fail to get off their fat, cloth capped ar5es and actually watch it.
Same thing here. Glory hunting fans who'll turn out in droves for the showpiece final and semi finals stay away from the earlier rounds (which have an important function for trickling down finance to lower clubs) and then come on here and moan about the state of the CC in the earlier rounds.
Here's the thing. If these games were better attended by fans such as Mr Bywater then the lower clubs would make more money from the ties thus enabling them to build their infrastructures. Maybe then the next time they get drawn at Headingley they'll be able to field a better side making for a more competitive match that will attract yet more fans, especially those of a fickle nature.'"
I agree Gareth.
Did you enjoy your first taste of the challenge cup this year?
There were rounds before that you know? Did you know?
