Quote: Pats plastic pitch "I’m from Widnes and work in Liverpool, it gets referred to as funny ball sport and beyond that, there’s no interest on any level.

Rugby union is a little different but still not a great deal.'"



Refer them to my user name and explain that perfectly spherical balls are not normal but rugby shaped balls are.
I'm married to a scouser and she doesn't see the point of either game. Thankfully both the offspring are keen rugby fans and understand which game plays with proper shaped balls! Let me know your workmates' reaction when you explain this to them.

How can anyone be negative about this news?

It's literally a no-lose situation for the game. If it doesn't work, the only damage is to the three investors wallets. If it does work, then fantastic.

Liverpool had rugby teams in the 30s,40s & 50s, the hay day of RL. Liverpool Stanley ,then City ,then Huyton ,the Runcorn Highfield ,then oblivion in the end.

exactly its the flat cappers and traditionalists irrational fear of anything out of their comport zone or a team that might overtake them and put there noses out of joint.

Apart from the odd few here and there (like Wayne Rooney being a huge Leeds fan), most Scousers dismiss rugby league as a 'woolyback sport' so I would expect this to be a non-starter. I just don't think there would be enough interest in Liverpool.

Best of luck to it and if they can make a success of it then happy days but having lived nearby for 29 years, I know what a challenge they face from the off.
Large populated areas isn’t an instant correlation to expansion success.

Like I have previously stated though, these 3 combined have a monumental wealth

Me thinks this is a throw away line from somebody who has been told they cannot play in Widnes, and has replied "I'll take my ball to Liverpool, then".

Liverpool has been surrounded by Rugby League heartlands for 125 years, and barring the odd blip has steadfastly shown zero interest. Where else can you think of that's been surrounded by RL and still couldn't be faffed to actually play it?

"It's the refs fault again". Biggest moaning whingers in RL.:

Quote: JonnoTheGreat "Manchester?'"


Fair point. I know I shouldn't regard Salford as Manchester but some part of my mind does. But in recognition of my error I'll now invest £5 in Liverpool RL. I'm sure it will be absolutely boss.

I'm genuinely interested in which bit of Doncaster's history you are referring to (or is it more than one)?

I'll look up the details a bit more but a few years ago you had a new bloke come in and pumped money into the club. Always liked Donny so when they were picking up the crowds and really looking on the cusp of making it I was chuffed. But then it appeared, like many before and since, that he pulled the plug. Did he just run out of money?
