You may get them at games to support the other team eg. the away team. I don't think people from outside the area understand the rivalry, its no different to my hatred of my Lancashire rivals. I watch the games to see them lose.
Much as i think it would be great to have a Cumbrian team (i wouldn't include Barrow in it) i can't ever see it happen unless one of the new nuclear owners make it happen as a new club.'"

Would you merge Saints and Bradford ? Travel time closer together !!! and a far safer journey.
I think i could do St.Helens to Barrow about as fast as i could Workington to Barrow.

Thats exactly the paradox in cumbrian, you cant merge teams because of the rivalry and the distance, but the clubs are possibly not big enough on their own. At the moment i think Barrow are best placed. |

Barrow is traditionally in Lancs (Like St Helens) so a lot of folks up the coast (and a fair few in Barrow it has to be said) will tell you Barrow is in Lancs. |

Stick any club that wants to be classed as 'expansion' in their own league. Then at least the rest will be there on merit.

Would that be any club wanting to expand super league to join. eg. Widnes,Leigh,Whitehaven,Barrow and Halifax, or just the ones from an area that currently isn't represented.

Me and my mates are proud inventors of the "We only needed 12 men" chant first heard after that Ashes Test at Wembley when Davies got that try in the corner and Edwards got sent off. Okay, the beer helped too.:icons39ad_files/4795-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

What kind of viewing figures does the Cumbrian area get for SL/CC/SLS? Would it be worth moving a low key England game up there? Seems to me we still need do more to help the Celtic Crusaders achieve at least some of the success Catalans have had.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
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.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Workington were best placed in 95 , since then Haven have been best placed for the last 5/6 years
None of the clubs are individually big enough and they will never merge , if a ' new ' club was formed somebody would suffer either the new club or all the existing ones [ a few fans would support both a championship and SL club but most would support only one ] not viable
Only chance is if somebody with serious money [ over 30 million ] turns up and finances one of the present clubs
Otherwise never happen |

I can confirm that Barrow has been in Cumbria since 1974. |
