Quote: Starbug "Maybe if they had got the stadium first , we might have still had a SL club in South Wales , much like the other Championship clubs had to do , oh I forgot we did , but they couldn't see it , there was a load of steel,bricks and concrete in the way Why?

what does that have to do with whether or not the Toronto Raptors were a valid example of an expansion club picked on reasons beyond their on the field results.

why do you think at least 3 more years in the championships with no guarantee of promotion would have helped crusaders get a new stadium and be better placed to succeed?

Well it couldn't have gone much worse than it did , could it ?

In a new stadium they might have drawn better support from both fans and sponsors and become viable SL material , you know , like other Championship clubs did ?

Quote: Starbug "Utter bollox , and you know it

So if that is the case why even bother setting minimum standards , other clubs spent money to comply , then the RFL to avoid embarrassment change their own criteria to suit

Keep ' pretending ' you believe what you are posting , one day you might just start believing it'"


You think that it's bollox that times and circumstances change? You think that times and circumstances remain constant? Chance for a cheap joke about a club there, but I'll leave it.

Quote: Starbug "So what now . , are you suggesting they had the move to Wrexham , and going into admin twice in their licence application ?

No they didn't , they had plans to move to a possible stadium that was never going to get built , much like Cas and Wakey'"


Why would you think that I think their application featured going into administration in it? Are you convinced that they're genuine plans were to move to a stadium that was never going to get built, and that's the same as Cas and Wakey?

Quote: Starbug "Motorsport and formula one , where are their stadiums ?

Basketball and american football have no relevance to Britain , both sports are total garbage , football has promotion and relegation with minimum standards if you have a look

Baseball , played in the US and Japan , give it a rest

So we are left with amateur RL , which is almost an entirely regionalised sport with promotion and relegation lastime I looked , ditto RU'"


The request was for sports. It wasn't limited to sports where teams have their own assigned stadia and are relevant to Starbugland (both are relevant in normal Britain) and not played in the US and Japan.

Quote: Wellsy13 "It appears Starbug will only be happy when people agree with his opinion that the game below SL is doomed in a matter of time. I don't understand why people with this much negative feeling towards something actually bother to follow the sport?'"


Indeed. For rugby league: with friends like these, who needs enemies?

Quote: SmokeyTA "Yet attendances in this era are higher than at any other time

Yet attendances are still higher.
Yet the TV deal is worth more.

Quietly?????? Bloody Hell.

Wales, London, Perpignan, Toulouse.

Yet the lower leagues get more money and exposure than ever before. Strange idea of chopping at the roots you have.'"


Are attendances really higher? is this year a record so far???If you had 8k on paying full price and now have 11k paying much reduced fee how is that a gain cash wise?quickest way to the poor house

How is the tv deal worth more when they accept less each deal,please explain that one

Like I said come on name these new clubs with there wealthy backers queing up to play our sport?

We get more exposure,really,hidden behind the red button on sky sports 4,more money,please tell us what extra money we get for moving our games to a thurday night? please tell me how much we get from sky owning the rights to the lower leagues even though we were told for years we were not included in any tv deal so there fore we don't get any,ah then we get a tv deal sorted only for sky to wave there contract showing they have the rights due to the tv deal??

So you wonder why teams outside of super league are so ssed off with the whole set up

People keep dismissing the gains union are making year on year,there prem crowds are growing clubs are expanding there grounds to get fans in,no need to mention a international fixture list on a permament basis grossing millions after millions,yep we will continue on believing everything is hunky doray

this season is only a few games old, it would seem silly to use it for any comparison. Last year more people watched a live game of professional domestic rugby league than before.

Quote: jesus-is-coming "How is the tv deal worth more when they accept less each deal,please explain that one'"
they havent accepted less each deal. God Knows where you made that little nugget up from.

I just did for you sweetheart.
