Dico, since Ken Davy bought the Giants they have never needed "saving" a few years ago the Giants actually bought Huddersfield Town AFC, how many RL clubs could do that, they sold them on last year.
As a point of interest, they had to buy the soccer club(out of administration) as the stadium would not have been viable without them, that we will admit.

Quote: Paull3v "bit.ly/eJ716I

Just thought id point out this to some of the expansion bashers. This programme was only set up last year and now 9 players from areas outside the heartlands have signed for other clubs.

Just shows that with the persistence the game is still growing, and the bigger the talent pool availible, the better our game will be.'"


Ere'ere. Excellent point, keep the faith. One day the world will be ours.

They are being ' saved ' every year that Ken has to stick a few hundred grand in to pay the shortfall

Any club that isn't self sustaining without director ' investement ' is being ' saved ' , probably around 90 percent of British RL clubs

Doesn't it depend on what your definition of expansion is?

I presume that the growth of Midlands RL is because of good grass roots work and aided by a good spectacle on TV involving northern teams, with good atmospheres at the ground. I doubt it has anything to do with the existence of Quins or Crusaders. Those two clubs may promote growth in their own areas, but if the Midlands is an example of how to promote growth without a local side, then maybe the argument for the Quins is a myth, that RL in the south needs the Quins. Crowds would suggest that most people in the south don't care about the Quins.

I would be interested to go into some of the grass roots expansion areas and found out which teams the young fans and players support. I wonder if most support the northern teams, like Saints or Leeds.

Nothing against expansion, and assisted expansion, but there has to be some degree of earning it, other than being a spot on the map.
