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



Quote: Saddened! "What I think this thread highlights is a need for a change in mindset. Perhaps there could be a caravan to give the Championship fans an education in sporting culture. Gone are the days of automatic promotion and relegation multiple divisions and historic clubs and in have come franchises and feeder clubs.'"



Maybe this caravan could look for a brain,heart and soul for you why its at it d040.gif

Quote: FoxyDread "I class myself as a RL supporter first, and then a Fax fan, I´ve attended SL games, Grand Finals and Wembley Finals in recent times, oh and a World Club Challenge, I was fully intending to go to several World Cup games, but I will only attend Halifax home games from now on, and perhaps an away game at the four other clubs who are standing alone.
The drop into the Championship 1 is too great a drop in standard and clubs are desperate not to go down, hence an unseemly scramble.
Good luck Keighley and Barrow, lets hope you are too good for the drop.'"



So congratulations the RFL , in world Cup year you have caused further division and disruption among your paying customers , we now have essentially 4 separate groups of clubs , all playing within their own little groups with growing gaps and discord between them

Well done Mr Wood , you are indeed one prize pillock

I echo the above as this is exactly what I will be doing this year, I will not be putting a penny the way of any club who has done the link ups. I'm sure as the season goes on more and more will do the same further declining the attendances, when this happens it matters what the SL clubs bring to the championship teams in order of help with sponsorship, no one sponsors a team with no fans. Except Sheffield.

What about the fact that championship teams get players for nothing and can then invest any saved money in advertising, youth development and improving the stadia??? Or with they not invest it wisely icon_smile.gif

RL has always driven change and innovation... If this doesn't work it'll be scrapped.

As for widnes making the whole squad DR probably says more about their intentions than other clubs. SL players will lift the intensity and provide fresh ideas both on and off the field.... I hope.

22/03/2013 Get LEIGH outta wigan:



Quote: Starbug "No rules have been broken duffymoon , in fact Swinton could have done exactly this last season , there are 2 issues that have brought us to this

1 st , the SL clubs [ not Warrington apparently ] voting to drop their ' reserve ' grade competition

2 nd , the RFL creating the ' league of death ' or Championship 1 as it is better known

I actually think Warrington are making a point with this , unfortunatly I can see several others following suit , and I do have considerable sympathy for Swinton and John Kidd , he is desperatly trying to keep a sports club alive living as ' nomads ' until he can return it to its true home , an incredibly difficult thing to do for just a few years , let alone as long as it has now taken

So , continue to follow your club , you are needed , and dont be so hard on them , they have little choice but to take advantage of every opportunity to survive , we dont need anymore Bramleys or Blackpools'"


Or don't bother following them anymore as they're not your club now,they belong to warrington and the rl.Let them finance it.

Insightful starbug icon_smile.gif for the game in general. Don't the clubs have a say in how it's run or am I living in a dream world
