Quote: Donnyman "Firstly I have started and supported a series of threads that are not about expansion please look at these........ Secondly the North American thing is dead so I was right and that's that and I don't post about that any more
Everyone misses if the game adopts "expansion" without the TV deals and the new players to pay for and play for this "expansion" than all you get is "substitution"
Take Wakefield out of Superleague and put Toulouse in
Take Castleford out of Superleague and re-instate Toronto
Take Huddersfield out and put in Ottawa
That is the real life suggestion made on message boards which many people regularly talk about in far more posts than even I could manage. I would not answer any of their posts with anything but solid agreement if the expansion argument was a good one. But the fact is once you get less than 9 English clubs in Superleague you lose the SKY contract. I didn't say that Pearson and McManus did.
My only argument left is if anyone thinks France is a way to grow our game then put four French clubs in the Championship and grow that before kicking out English clubs that underpin the SKY contract.'"
I think you are more than a little confused as you state that you don't talk about North America anymore yet here we are on a thread about loop fixtures and you couldn't resist go back a couple of pages and re read what YOU have written re Perez and Gridiron and only coming on this thread with your reply because another had been locked.
This thread is about loop fixtures not substituting Wakefield, Castleford and Huddersfield with Toulouse, Toronto and Ottowa again it's YOU that mentions North America (although you don't apparently) and expansion.
BTW you lost me when you suggested that Cup Final crowds don't skew attendances and used them to advocate loop fixtures total nonsense.
