I know exactly what they say but most of it is in their imagination. Like the way Celtic Crusaders are the root of all their problems and not being run like a joke for the previous 100+ years. 
What do you think a club like AFC Wimbledon have in common with someone like Man U? Were they not treated shabbily? But will the Wimbledon fans support England? Yes |

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: Johnoco "That's a strange one. Strnage because next year there is the soccer world cup and you will definitely see fans from lower or non league clubs there displaying flags. These clubs have zero chance of joining the premier league but still seem to back their national side. Perhaps the fault is parochial RL fans?'"
Bottom line is many fans of non SL clubs do not feel that the England/GB team is any longer anything to do with them , sorry but that is the way it is
Those footy clubs you talk about do have a clear path to the premiership , unlike most heartland Championship clubs to SL , unlikely I know , but still a clear path , ask the Notts County fans |

The only 'clear path' open to those teams is some oil sheik buying them up - how 'fair' or likely is that? I would argue the Championship clubs have more likelihood of getting to the top level in RL than those soccer clubs have.
And as for Notts County, I've seen stronger foundations in, er something sandy! |

Which strangely is the path the RFL ' preach ' for RL clubs [ but highly unlikely because of the various ' gates ' in the way ] and something that seems to be happening more and more in Football |

That's the whole point , because of their location no serious business investor is ever going to look at a Championship club other than an expansion club

They were bought because the buyers thought they were getting Newcastle.
Perhaps if Leigh started playing in cherry and white hoops and calling themselves the Warriors, they would be bought?

Then what? Lose your players, buy new ones and go back down, then bust? |

[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg |

| Quote: Johnoco "Nothing to do with SL or non SL. Rugby League is littered with moaners from top to bottom. They seem only happy when things are going t1ts up, this means they can say 'we told you so' whilst offering knack all condtructive themselves.'" I honestly think this is a Northern thing - in general Northerners seem less open to change and new ideas. |

When the oil runs out, they'll come back to Fev for t'coal. Bentley garages will be popping up everywhere in Fev come 2035.
