That's all we, and many other clubs want, the chance to find that out. Time will tell, but we are up for the challenge.

I'm not saying Featherstone are anyway near the quality of Wigan, but that's why we all love rugby league, anything can happen on the field, and for a good portion of that game you could not tell which club was part time and which was super league in my opinion.

Like Smokey TA, you haven't posted anything positive about the sport of late.

You must really hate the sport of rugby league.

You're just another franchise fairy ideologue, aren't you?

Perhaps you and your ideological ilk should bugger off an find another sport to get all negative about?

Fev are playing Fax at home tommorrow in a friendly, who are Wigan inviting to the DW this pre season?

Like i said i have no problem with clubs getting a chance and if the franchise system was administrated correctly really you should of had those chances already but with the new system i worry on how clubs have previously over spent trying to chase a dream.

My main concern isn't the standard of playing (even though it may effect attendances but that is purely speculation as fans may come out to see there local teams play top grade rugby.) its finances and how super league is going to fund this new structure.

That would partly depend on what their soccer landlord allows.

If I didn't love my club I would of walked away from this game years ago.. This has given me a bit of hope and belief back and if that sound selfish so be it.
Iv spent thousands watching my club iv been to every home and away game for last 5 years including Toulouse (which I really enjoyed).
So let's just see how this all pans out I think it will be ok bug I might be wrong time will tell.

It would cost far to much to play a friendly at the DW anyway. they could play at Orrell if they liked but some how i don't see it being a big deal.

Fair play.

I have nothing against the physical system itself, merely what it will lead to!

And everyone's a little bit selfish

seriously you telling me off for being negative? I actually posted a decent idea about how to spread the game down south all you did was start trolling about union attendances. Im quite happy supporting league thank you don't you have some other thread to troll about attendances? Or has garry hetherington asked you to troll anybody who opposes this idea?

Bollox, you arent allowed in your RENTED stadium, unlike Fev, who OWN their stadium and all the land round it, in real terms they have more financial assets than Wigan

Have you got me on ignore?
