| More than half the teams in SL enter the last round of games with something to play for. So says Sporting Life. Who do they think they are kidding. Half the teams have had nothing to play for for 3/4 of the season. There's only 4 teams in the SL going to win the 2 trophies on offer. It's just round after round of friendlies without P&R but I suppose it keeps the RFL spin doctors happy.

Mental note to myself – 4 team league.
Big clubs supporters ecstatic, along with Jamie Peacock.

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 |

| Graham ( WYSIWYG ) has these occaisional bursts of frustration, and while sometimes he does get a little carried away, I can understand where he is coming from to a certain degree

I'd suggest it is its ' lack ' of fans

I'd say the lack of fans is often due to it's current fans.
The kind of 'fan' in the OP is the kind of 'fan' we could do without. A negativity spreader for no apparent reason. Most of the Premier League clubs have nothing to play for. Doesn't stop them going in their tens of thousands each and every week.
Hyperbolic negativity is the RL cancer that needs cutting out. The "RL has no credibility" thread was an embarrassment. When we're left with a group of fans that actually "like" the game, we might actually go forward!

The IYO ' type of fan we could do without ' has sponsored his club to the tune of many thousands of pounds over the years, he is frustrated with the sport much like me, unlike me he still attends games and contributes where he can
I dont see how venting his frustration on here would put new or old fans from supporting the game, maybe you'd like to explain it in more detail?

| You don't see how someone unfairly massively talking down and ridiculing the competition would put people off from watching it...? Surely you don't need that explaining to you?

| and there lies the problem. Bottom of SL and the Championship have nothing to play for.
In the Premiership, Chelsea/Arsenal/Man u/Man C/Liverpool target Champions League, the next scrap over a UEFA place or to avoid relegation. I would say most have something to play for and something to look forward to with the big teams coming to town for the smaller clubs.
The Championship and the rest know what they must do to go up or drop down.
Now compare that to the farce of a sport we have left, and understand soccer will always drive the nations sporting culture.
