As an Englishman and a republican the sooner GSTQ is dropped the BETTER.
We need something a bit more uplifting that embraces our multicultural nation.

Maybe something from Lethal Bizzle perhaps?
Wouldn't mind a new national anthem (nothing to do with thoughts on the Royal family, neither like or dislike them) it's just that it's so boring. The Italian national anthem now that's a proper anthem. Buffon singing it at the top of his lungs pre Italy football match is great. |

GSTQ is terrible. We should have Jerusalem as an English national anthem like we use in the cricket.

I'm intrigued, your profile picture is of a character who is of the ruling class..... no ifs no buts, a true civil servant of the Oxbridge brigade..... bit confused are you?!  |

The only possible way GSTQ could be any worse is if Jonathan Davies sang it in his awful nasal whine.

Thats great, really.
How many years has it been or will it be, before he actually attends a game or, presents the Challenge Cup or SL Trophy ? |

How long has he been patron of the RFL? Less than 11 months. The SL trophy is presented by the sponsor and this years challenge cup took place a couple of days before the 20 year anniversary of Princess Diana's death so I'm pretty certain he had other stuff scheduled around that time. |

I’m not sure that either attending oxford or working in the civil service have any relevance to a commitment to republicanism. Self-esteem, on the other hand, is very relevant!

Don’t particularly care for the republican/monarchy debate (it’s not broken), but if North Korea had our national anthem we’d be taking the out of them.
God save our gracious leader, long live our noble leader, god save our leader
What’s that got to do with the country?

I'd never thought of it that way, but you're absolutely spot on.
So, the question now is how do we get it changed? |

HOW MANY TIMES?????
£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.
