'For a bonus point perhaps you could tell me the last English SL coach to lead his side to victory (either Challenged Cup or Grand final)? ....or perhaps records don't go back that far!

tbh I thought it sounds like a great deal. Coupled with the announcement of 'themed' days, if you like, the RU guys plugging RL matches, I get the sense that maybe there is a change of direction, or, if you think there was no direction at all, then a commencing of a direction with the marketing people?! (not sure that makes sense but I hope people see what I mean).
In an expansion area (and yes, it will be an expansion area for decades) it makes sense to use scarce resources in a twinned fashion so I think this is a top notch, thinking out of the box type thingy.
personally I found the City angle a lot more interesting and I for one shall look forward to watching that bit closely. Good luck to both clubs, they both deserve the success and this may well be the start of better things...?

I thought LMS was the tip of the iceberg. |

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 |

Spin it the other way round, all the semi-pro clubs become fully pro, buoyed by an influx of free players.'"
But will the fans of those clubs be happy watching SL reserve matches ?
Not knowing from one week to the next who will be playing for them as it will all be at the whim of the SL clubs coach ? |

[quote="dally messenger":1gysl9ow]was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have[/quote:1gysl9ow]

If they aren't then it won't work for the SL clubs, since the exposure to the crowds is where the value is for them. I reckon we'll see some long-term loans, some rotation loans (say Skolars will request one of 5 players from Quins academy) and then the rest of the Championship squad will be made up of FT players bought by the club. While the C clubs would profit from the deal, the SL clubs would be getting the most out of it so would have to tailor the deal to suite the C clubs.
...
Hopefully.
...
For example we've offered academy players to TO, but they are only taking up the option this w/e to cover players on international duty. |

Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.
