What in you opinion is the solution?

Quote: Marsdengiant "

Where is this sneering - other than in your head?

You can walk around in sackcloth and ashes as much as you like.

You dweam on about some sustainable fantasy RL game

Now, we have the Sky money and KD's money and it is great. I love it.

Poor things, how british sport must upset them. Good.

I comprehend the twee 'common ownership' models. They are a joke.

Even under Vaughn Widnes would play far better RL than Bramley and attract many more fans. Even a 'bad Vaughn' is better than some self indulgent set ups.

No sweetcheeks, I comprehend it. I just think your twee anti business and pro common ownership views are 'touching'

I love you common ownership kiddies. Often so far up themselves.

You crack on with running YOUR club. Secure in the fact that it will satisfy your personal ego needs and give you periodic opportunities to rage against 'evil sugar daddies' and 'nasty RFL'.

Did you see that club wetting itself at the start of the 2009. desperate for £ to 'survive'. It was a very touching story. i always put on the violin music when I read about them.

When will you get the Leigh crowds up to say 8k I will think you you have something meaningful to say.....but until them

So much wimpering. Like some lost little child needing Mummy or Daddy to save her.

Thankfully private enterprise bailed that lot out. A business with the where-with-all to make profits saved the floundering hobbyists with their very existence under threat (i'm getting tearful..honest)

Do take it up with someone who cares.

It is clear from your posts you have limited knowledge about RL.

First I keep laughing at your roadshows ideas. Second I do not think the sport needs reviving.

The saving of some lame duck clubs that the local community are not bothered about is your concern, not mine.

when you are committed to twee common ownership models then you can only see things one way.

'"


Is that enough?

Quote: Alexs Dad "Is that enough?'"


You made my case. Well done.

You directly accused me of sneering at lower clubs.

How does thinking the concept of commonly owned businesses are moribund a sneer at lower league clubs. icon_lol.gif How is telling a poster who dismissed the Giants recent youth development that he must have limited RL knowledge a sneer at lower clubs? (surely you cannot be so stupid to think that challenging a posters knowledge is having a go at lower league clubs? icon_rolleyes.gif ) How can pointing out that a guy who has a go at 'sugar daddies' and then begs for wealthy inputs is being hypocritical be a sneer at lower level clubs?

You read what I wrote but your blinkers mean you do not understand it. This does not surprise me.

I have little time for clubs that do not pay taxes, or do not pay players or that hide behind CVAs while creditors get screwed.

I think central funds £ should go to developing the grass roots not funding failing private enterprises.

I do not mind commonly owned enterprises. However when the people involved with them get sanctimonious about privately owned organisations I may challenge it. When common ownership activists start getting holier than thou about wealthy club backers while themselves desperately looking for private funds I will point it out. Hardly sneering at 'lower clubs'.

HTH.

so, try again. Find actual examples where I sneer at decent, hard working ,non moralising championship clubs.

To continue to put central funds into grassroots RL - amateur clubs / schools colleges & Unis + womens RL + expanding the game for older players though modified rules.

I have already praised Kevin Nicholas and Batley on this thread. So it should be obvious that the way that the Bulldogs run themselves would be a very good starting point. HTH.
