I don't know what the answer is in terms of how to expand the game, but all I know is it doesn't seem to be working. I think that the most successful way we will do it, is by organic expansion out from the heartlands.

But, I don't think that all of our expansion teams should be or need to be in the top flight. Only the ones that have shown to be able to sustain themselves should be allowed to be in the top. I also include heartland teams in that too.

[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] [quote="eels fan":1gysl9ow]You poor poor obsessed fat ex vichyballin potato thieving stoaway.[/quote:1gysl9ow]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6679.png



Quote: Roofs "But surely overall that means then that Quins have a big advantage over the Hull clubs because they have more people to draw from, e.g. the amount of Australians living in the capital?
Urban myth 1: Australians are all 100% League nuts.

Regardless of what some idiots on here would like you to believe, RL is not the No 1 sport in 'stralia...most of the aussies in London own a wannabies shirt....the manager of the walkabout in the bush is an AFL fan.....there is little evidence that there are a load of anzac league fans in the capital.
I have said it many times.....when manly came to london for the WCC warm up there was a meet and greet arranged at the walkabout, the eagles and quins teams were there........30 people rolled up max an 20 of those were Quins RL fans.
It is a myth that all aussies are league mad......SoO Gets big figures on TV because it's a WEDNESDAY night......there is SFA all on the box to compete with.


Urban myth 2 : That all the kids playing RL in the capital MUST therefore attend QRL games. Roofs.....you got a bus to games when you were younger.......London is a tad larger than 'ull. There are many many thousands of kids playing the game in London and this is as a direct result of the london ESL club and the development PAID FOR BY DAVID HUGES.

Times up.......if the RFL don't take responsibility, then I see London folding, SKY pi55ing off and you roofs can get a bus to watch Wigans 100% professionals hammer HKA at a near derelict caravan park.......

"The Mail understands..." NOTHING! :SUBMISSION: :lol: [quote="-VIKINGMAN-"]Respect to Roofs, the president of East Hull. :wink:[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_17371.jpg

The RFL have never let you down yet GF, they'll always bail you out and you are forever guaranteed a franchise, nothing to worry about. a046.gif high-five.gif icon_cool.gif

I still don't understand why Sky are allegedly so in love with FCBQE - no-one else cares about them FFS. icon_mad.gif icon_frustrated.gif icon_lol.gif

In all seriousness it is an absolute joke when a real RL club like Fax continues to get shafted whilst this experiment wrongly keeps an SL place that they never earned in the first place. icon_biggrin.gifEPRESSED:

One last time ill say it. On what grounds are fax a better club right here, right now. Enough of your dodging. Is it the ground? Nope. Is it the youth sides? nope. Is it on attendances? Currently no, potentially maybe. Other than dire crowds Quins dont do an awful lot wrong and oh yeah, they've never finished bottom. Now quit yer jibber jabber and think before you type

Hope without planning is about as futile as waiting for a harvest without planting ------------------------------------- THE FIRST THING TO MAKE A DREAM COME TRUE,IS TO WAKE UP:icons3ae4_files/4583-27sowhat-msnicons.gif



Quote: Roofs "icon_wink.gif

Just make sure those crowds are a lot higher by the next time boyo, and that doesn't mean handing out an extra 2000 free tickets!

That would still make 2000 would'nt it?
