In the old days, if a stranger came to a village, and his face didn't fit, and he upset people, they would kill him. He would be taken to a field, killed and buried, with every villager taking part in the killing. If they clubbed the stranger to death, everyone would hold the club, and if a knife was used, everyone would stab him, and afterwards no one would breath a word about the killing.
If only that could be done with forum trolls!
Obviously not killing him off but banning him..

So maybe they will have Championship games.

Black Backgrounds/Zoot.gif Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

| Something else to throw into the broadcasting mix - The 'Telegraph' is reporting Citigroup analyst Thomas Singleton as saying because of what's gone on at the News of the World seems somewhat extreme, but that's what they [city investment houses] are having to consider'.
Now, some people (including me) might think that that's somewhat less likely than Jonny Vegas appearing as the Sugar Plum Fairy in the Royal Ballet's production of the Nutcracker Suite next Christmas, but it's something that needs to be kept in mind.

As someone who works in broadcasting. What a load of tosh that story is. Ofcom have no balls and struggle to close down dodgy shopping & smut channels. Let alone one the of worlds biggest broadcasters.

Stupid comment.
The Fev v Halifax northern rail semi was as exciting as anything in SL this year.

Yeah but look at the scoreline. That would never have happened in SL. Would it?

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 |

But would you be happy as a club losing your three biggest attendances every year because they are on Thursday nights without any recompense ?

Come on starbug, A bloke says watching Championship games this year have been entertaining and you have a go !!.
I think he enjoyed it as much as he has becuase Fax have been on T.V five times this year already. Closet fax fan me thinks.

Unfortunatly that is how we lower league fans have to look at things these days , its all about the money , not the sport , tonight Batley will miss out on a fair number of fans that would have attended on Sunday

Nobody has to tell me how entertaining the Championships are , unfortunatly there arent enough people paying to watch it for it to continue , so it has to go , they've all had it for free for 4 years , time to move on , but what will be interesting is will SKY still be interested in retaining control of the play offs and finals ? , therefore making it unviable for anybody else to show any interest

I acutally think its a good thing having a few games on Sky, its good for the sponsors to get their brand advertised, without being on tele wouldn't it be more difficult to obtain sponsorship that is actually makes the club decent money, A few hundred fans not turning up who probably use free tickets to get in anyway isn't that poor a deal and i personally feel that being able to obtain sponsors is far more important. I also like watching other teams that to be honest i would not go and pay to watch, Leigh is one of these, I have shown a interest in their games this year but would not travel over to watch them play even on a weekend.
Thats just me though, I dont watch SL rugby as i dont find it as entertaining and as i dont care who wins or loses at the end of the day, where as i do when watching championship rugby. However as there is so little of us championship fans i don't suppose anyone really gives a rats ass. Be nice to see how the relegated teams fans change next year.
