Quote: Bullseye "Disagree GFB. Who was the last "big" club to emerge since Bradford?
Trouble is that fans and club owners often can't see beyond their own self interest and parochialism. Rivalry trumps sober judgement. I'm sure our demise has delighted a lot of Fax fans but that delight will be short lived. Unless fans and clubs see the bigger picture we'll see more clubs go to the wall and the game become more irrelevant to the wider sporting world.'"
Personally I don't take any delight in seeing any club struggle including the Bulls; as we have been there before ourselves - the RFL cause alot of the problems the game have like when we won the 2010 GF at this level took a bit of the shine off because there was no automatic promotion and the current 'restructure' and handling of it is poor - I think RFL want a structure here like they have in NRL - where the teams outside the top flight are merely feeder clubs and Dual Reg is the start of this - clubs like Fax , Bradford and Fev etc are better than to exist like that would you want watch someones B Team??
Look at Football as well - Bradford City and FC Halifax Town know what their league structure is , they know there is a clear and uncomplicated system of promotion (and relegation) can you imagine the FA deciding to restructure the leagues right before the business end of the season - RL is becoming Lions Led by Donkeys.....
