I don't see why it has to be one or the other?

kcab sfrawdder 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

Fax averaging 16/17 hundred, Fev around 2,000 ,Leigh 1,400 and have you seen Whitebank stadium?

Why do they ' deserve ' ?

There isnt any Championship clubs anywhere near being in a position to move up to SL

Rovers have always had a dormant support waiting for top flight, Leigh averaged 3,500 in 2005 , the fan bases in these towns has now gone , it would need to be at least double what they currently get as a starter, no chance

These comments show your complete ignorance of what's happening in the Championships.

How many fans do you think any of those clubs would bring to Hull?
How many will they get at home?

And Oldham FFS?! They attracted 664 fans to their derby. They've been struggling in the third tier of the game. They have a ground with about 1,000 capacity. How on Earth do they deserve to be in SL?

I'm sorry, but people that suggest clubs should be in the top tier due to history need to wake up and have a look at the real situation. Clubs that are doing things to work towards Super League NOW deserve to be in Super League, not ones that would rely on former glory.

While I agree, he doesnt have a clue, not enough clubs in SL are doing anywhere near enough either, and many of them are there based on history , or at least have been retained due to history

Quote: easthull fc fan "pair off pr1@ks lets have 4 french fans sat at away games its the future get a grip!!! and its sat nite im going out have fun meffs!!! heres 1 whats the psi in a size 5 for a super league game? that wil giv u sumat to talkabout.'"



Why are they what you called them just because they have a different opinion to you. Maybe you're not aware that the competition is called the European Super League. Perhaps getting your facts right before calling others names would be a start. Incidentally I thought you were changing your user name. What's up - don't you know how??

No worries, I'd love to see Leigh in SL with 10,000 at the LSV, but we are 10 years of hard work in the Championship away from the chance of that ( providing we actually have a clue what to do in the 1 st place, and up to now there isnt any signs of it ) , Fax are in a similar position, Fev are improving but still a massive gap to bridge, Oldham are hanging onto survival by their fingertips

Why is it that only RL fans seem to think that they should be able to get to every away game by having it on their doorstep?

Clubs not doing enough, Salford, London , most of the others looking at the drastic fall in attendances, and the lack of junior development at too many

History ? , Bradford
