Quote: wire quin "Do you really belive Fev and Fax would get 3-4 K crowds? No really.

I recognise you are having a dig at London but now you've calmed down have a look at recent history.'"

2.3k at Fev today - Surely SL games would reach 3k easily. And with SL status, like Wakey Fev could grow their crowds - Fev were better supported than Wakey until Wakey went into SL - now it's the other way around
Halifax have a superb ground. And should be able to recruit new fans who would have gone to the Bulls I think 'Fax have been particularly badly hit by the Bulls previous marketing campaigns in their area. Then of course there's Leigh and Keighley, both prime candidates. I reckon a successful Keighley side in SL could possibly build in the RL desert that is East Lancashire too.

Quote: Saddened! "It's daft that the RFL are even looking at this when the clubs that could come up are so weak. There are no clubs bar Fax, Featherstone and Leigh who could even entertain the notion of moving into Super League and they would all be relegated after one season anyway.

What the RFL should be doing, rather than trying to grow the existing clubs (Which are mostly poorly run, have poor infrastructures and are in undesirable locations) is to try and get outside money involved in the sport. If you are a Sheikh with £50m to spend on sport, rather than buying a Premier League or Championship football side that you will then send into administration, why not invest it into Super League? You could run a successful club for 20 years on the same money you would blow on acquiring and maintaining a football club.'"



Thats a very valid point but in our recent discussion with Sheikh Onamaface the lack of guaranteed p&r killed the deal.

Interesting. When we were negotiating with Baron von moneylaundering, it was the fact that he could almost guarantee getting a team into SL by building the right club infrastructure, rather than having to depend on the lottery of a small set of playing results that made the idea so attractive to him.

Thats quite interesting, do you think its a cultural thing between Germans and Arabs or historical, due to one having one and the other not?

Quote: littlerich "Win the lottery. Buy a Renault Clio instead of a Merc.
I don't think that's a very apt analogy. You are implying that soccer is a better sport than rugby league, when we all know that isn't the case. A better analogy would be chosing which musical group to invest in; a musically talented, hardworking indie band who write amazing music, but who won't ever be internationally famous, or some bubblegum pop, lowest common denominator e who will get lots of exposure, but might end up costing you money in the long run.
