Beat me to it

So are we all saying we take joy in seeing clubs going bust whether they be old or new?

The "family" concept disappeared at roughly the same time as franchising was brought in and the SPORT became secondary to non rugby related criteria and some clubs and their fans felt very harshly treated.
Some were abandoned and others protected.

At least back in the day, you knew that if you finished bottom (or in the bottom 2) you would be relegated and if you finished top (or top 2) of the Championship you would be promoted.

Super League removed all hope for clubs in the second tier although, given the funding cliff edge that was created a couple of seasons ago, maybe that was a good thing ?

Even the terrace chants changed to reflect this. "Bye-bye, bye-bye - bye-bye, bye-bye" became " ground, no fans - ground, no fans" and "shall we sing a song for you?" became "you're stadium's effing ".

Nope

Lol. No. We sang several of those way before SL came into existance.

I'd like to say that I am sorry, but I'd be lying!

Leigh fans (not naming you in particular) were a bloody arrogant shower and happy to dish out arrogant abuse on here, when they thought they'd reached the Holy grail. More so, the attitude of your benefactor to the demise of Bradford, as caught and available on-line, underlines why your current predicament is Karma of the highest order.

The game is bigger than Leigh, or London for that matter, but the sheer stupid arrogance of some fans and Beaumont's video regarding Bradford are why I won't be donating when you start shaking buckets.



WoW.....really?
David Hughes has been an owner (minority/majority) of London since 1994/95. 249 SL games with 186 wins and 20 draws including 2 play-off appearances, a 2nd Place finish and a Challenge cup final v Derek's one season and 12 points......yeah, Derek's had the better return HOW MANY TIMES????? £20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000. The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover. There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them. :d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_76030.jpg
