How many were Leigh getting when in SL rather than The Champiionship?

Besides, surely every bum on a seat is one less potato on a couch.

The point is that Hull attract a very large following making them a big club and thus dispelling the nonsense used to goad Hull fans...........

where are your figures from? I will keep asking... why aren't Catalans and Toronto included, or are you still wanting a little Englanders league, =#FF0000<REMOVED - Please discuss without personal abuse>.

Do those figures correlate with the number of viewers to RL on Sky or, are you just trying to follow your own agenda ?
If attendances are lower, it could be that those clubs have more armchair viewers than fans in the stadium.

Also, as you are so keen to tell everyone what Sky want, I'm pretty certain that Sky would WANT as many non traditional RL tuning in to their RL coverage, regardless of who they may or may not follow

1. I'm not sure what your talking about, the club attendance figures show that Hull are a very well supported side, in response to the poster who felt Hull.F.C. were useless/worthless. You could look up the average attendances yourself in any RL reference book

2. I've never personally told anyone what SKY want only what Eamon McManus, Ian Lenegan and Nigel Pearson have said SKY want, you can look up the various interviews they said this in League Express. You can also check the recent reports from the meeting over the TWP question when they said North American clubs were of no value to SKY. They said the same about French clubs.

it's very simple, since 2006 there have been efforts to geographically expand the game to France and North America with a view to bringing in more TV money and a bigger player pool. It didn't work according to Robert Elstone - hence North American clubs were scrapped, and Toulouse won't get the 12th. place. That leaves Les Catalans isolated.

What do you think will happen to them??

Only since they merged with that expansion club,Gateshead Thunder.

Prior to that paid their players too much and kept having financial troubles and had to sell their better players.


It seems a desperate move by Ian Watson.Huddersfield go through a fair number of coaches.Very few go onto better things.

Like Tony Smith leave huddersfield two grand finals with Leeds or. Nathan Brown leaves Huddersfield and grand final with saints. Etc etc


Sounds like you are talking out of your booty !

He has a habit of that.

Sorry.Completely forgot about those 2.Didn't even bet round to considering that far back.

A worrying sign of age - added to a little stress.

Pleased for him,then.Ihope he enjoys success in his career.

May not go so well for him at Huddersfield ,given the 2 above named.

Thats not true, the move to the KC was the reason our crowds increased etc.

For someone who keeps following me around telling me I am wrong on everything, it is ironic that you think merging with Gateshead Thunder put many thousands on Hull's gates.

It's not as if such an idea could not be checked by simply looking this up........Same for the massive mistake you made as regards your comments on the two Huddersfield coaches.

I do NOT follow you around.I cannot avoid you.

Gateshead Thunder saved a M62 club.They had immediate Challenge Cup success - found a large following which then disgraced itself following a defeat.
They had larger attendances post the takeover.

I don't think the 2 former Huddersfield coaches had much success at Huddersfield - even if they enjoyed success elsewhere.My error on that issue was caused by my state of ennui.
I must have been reading about expansion clubs and how brilliant wealthy owners have been,and are,at M62 clubs.
While,apparently,wealthy owners with start up clubs,overseas,are the devil incarnate.
Strange how players,and others,share different views to your own.
