I can see how you got to that point. No one else seemed to. You have to have an odd way way to reading to translate it to that.

Do you really think so? I havn't seen them play but i'd guess that Skolars would batter them.

kcab sfrawdder 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

I just asked questions , unfortunatley it seems they couldn't be answered , apart from the all clubs getting a guaranteed 3 rd of the available funding , but we dont know how much the funding is yet ?, so we dont know how much a 3 rd of the funding is yet ? , or exactly what clubs will have to achieve to get the other 2 3rds

...and that lack of answers led you to believe community departments would be funded centrally by the RFL? icon_confused.gif

but that level of detail wouldnt be expected in a press release!...and seeing this is a consultation process (and go to the amateur pages to see what I think of certain RFL consultation processes at the minute) the information is hardly likely to be fixed anyway.

well as it is part of a CBA, it would be strange if it wasnt paid collectively, and as such would need to come form one source.

Quote: Richie "...and that lack of answers led you to believe community departments would be funded centrally by the RFL?
No , the lack of answers suggested to me that they ' might ' be , as running a successful community dept costs a lot of money to set up initially , money that some clubs might not have access to , if those clubs were to be given access to this money , would clubs that have already spent their own money setting up a CD , be able to access a similar sum of money for other things

Seems fairly straightforward to me

Quote: Starbug "So it is Central funding ?'"


the circle of this conspiracy begins again...

did you know it was the RFL who denied the people of Leigh of having a railway station? it will be a future requirement of Championship franchising you see, and the devious RFL orchestrated low demand throughout the 1950s and 1960s leading to abandonment of the line (and station) in 1969. it was a level of strategic foresight that some of us have only associated with RFL over recent years but as part of the ultimate 'grand plan' they've been trying to keep Leigh out of the top division since 1895.
