SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.

Meanwhile, here are some facts, just for comparison with Premier League, with their promotion and relegation and all.
There have been 39 administrations since 2001 in the football league. There are 92 clubs in the football league.
The biggest club in the premier league is currently saddled with huge debts that have required a disappointing flotation as they struggle with repayments.
The current European champions lost £67m in the financial year up to the end of June, this is in addition to the £340m that was lost up to 2009, which included a loss of £141m in a single year
Man City last year posted losses of £194m
An interesting article
And the ' relevance ' to Castleford or RL in this post is ?

I've not mentioned anything about SLE, franchising, Premier League debts, or anything else.
I was just letting Smokey know he was chatting waffle again with his claim that Cas are not 'struggling quite as much as the poorly reported article first makes out'.
They are, quite clearly, and I've given his some solid facts that he so clearly demands before any argument against his own is even deemed fit for consideration, so have the 'SLE is good/bad' argument with someone else because its one that bored me long ago.

So, what is the argument then? Simply that Cas might or might not have a few problems? Can't see anyone suggesting that they might not, so we might all be in agreement that they have some problems. That being the case, what are we discussing?

There is no argument from me, for some strange reason you brought up something with zero relevance to my response to Smokey.

| There is no argument from anyone not looking to pretend that 'not as bad as that poorly reported article first makes out' is equal to 'no problems at all'.

No it isnt , football and RL are different sports , this is a RL forum , if you wish to discuss football , try the ' other sports ' board , you are a complete idiot to suggest any relevance whatsoever , then again we already know you are an idiot

So either you didn’t or can’t read it. Fair enough, we don’t need another thread where you give us you pretend to be confused by simple things.

Are you for real ?
our response merely confirm what I had suggested, ie per capita of population in Cas, there is far more interest in their rugby league club.
If RL was as popular (per capita) in Leeds, thy would indeed need a larger stadium

| They would need a stadium 25k bigger than any stadium in existence today, the need a stadium nearly twice as big as Wembley, They would need a stadium as big as the MCG and Old Trafford put together. And they would need to fill it every single game.
A per capita comparison is just nonsense when you are comparing one place with another which is about 20 times bigger. Its like the USA saying they are failing as an economy because per capita wealth is so much lower than Monaco.
Maybe we should put a team in Notton and then we can cheer about how brilliant and wonderful we are and how important Notton is to the game because 50% of the population go watch them, We can take all the money that 400 people pay to the bank and see if it will pay for a professional team?

| Quote: wrencat1873 "No excitement in seeing any club struggle Smokey.
When one of the "top brass" at a club publicly states that they are in a "precarious position", people want to find out whats going on and what better place to find out than on a public forum.
Castleford is a hot bed of Rugby League and although they are not one of the "big boys", RL [sizein[/size Cas is of far more importance than in some other areas.
Let's hope that, as some are suggesting, these are tactics being used to frighten their supporters into buying season tickets.'"
smokey , read it again

| Before we start your doddering old man impression Starbug, read it again.
That sentence doesnt say that 'in Cas RL is more important' it says 'RL in Cas is of far more importance' those things dont mean the same thing. If you read the whole sentence that might have been apparent to you.
Even if Wrencat meant 'In Cas, RL is more important' then that statistic still isnt really evidence, but it is completely irrelevant to this thread.
