Get rid I say ![]()
Yes your're right, but those clubs are the core of RL and we don't need any more on a smaller scale. We need more geographical spread etc etc. RU clubs get more money becuase of their demographic profile and internationals, their fans are the difficult to target higher management group.
ALthough if you read the WIgan website it'd have you believe WIgan was an affluent area. The words of Comical Ali was more reliable.

Basically Nick, what you're saying is "I'm alright Jack, stuff the rest of you from the heartlands as long as the 'Big 3' are ok"  . |

No, far from it.
I'm a RL fan first and foremost. If Celtic help grow RL and bring more money into the game then i'm all for it.
I don't want clubs in SL based on tradition and sentiment, I want RL to grow rather than remain a sport played within the M62 corridor. It is harsh and I understand the resentment but RL is a business.
As for the big 3, it's debatable who those clubs are now...

Big 3? He's a Wigan fan!
Just a question. In a moral sense, is what these players have allegedly done anything like as bad as poor financial mismanagement, leading to administration and 2 fingers up to creditors owed thousands?

I can understand certain groups of fans in particular feeling a resentment towards Celtic, but I can't understand the people who are almost willing them to fail. Celtic have another 2 years in SL after this year before the next round of franchises and I hope they can learn from the things that have gone wrong this season and bounce back and strengthen. |

| I did think about the big 3 bit before I posted  .
I too am all for growing the game but it was plain to me then and todays debacle has purely confirmed that Celtic were not ready for the highest level.
Let new clubs walk before they can run. |

what would you measure the m62 corridor as?
how do you be a good m62 corridor and a bad m62 corridor?
seems to me to be a geographical area rather than a population characteristic,
though clearly, not only are widnes fans the clear experts on immigration, but now they are also the countrys leading lexicographers!
now theres an interesting set of demographics for you fella! |

As I've posted on the Crusaders forum, I hope they get through this.
I don't hold any resentment towards them any more and nor do a great deal of Widnes fans. Any early resentment passed when the realisation was that the RFL were the villains of the peace. They were then and they are now.
Celtic were simply the easiest and most obvious targets of any ire by fans who felt seriously let down. |
