Any answer for this yet? You do have the figures dont you? |

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 |

Without KD we would not be where weare. I'm loving it thanks.
The club would be in a better position thank Oldham but not in SL without KD.
You dweam on about some sustainable fantasy RL game ![]()
Come on Oh wise one . tell us where we are going wrong , lets face it if clubs like yours were better run there would be more money available to help all clubs survive and prosper , fortunatley without the 1.2 million youd be just as bad as the rest of us
So once again tell us the answers ?

| Quote: RoughyedWatcher "It is easy for anyone to say get rid of Oldham or any other club outside of SL from the comfort zone of being a supporter of one of the clubs who does receive almost £1m Sky money a year. In Oldham's defence I would say look at the current England team how many other towns have produced two players that are in the team that do not have a team in SL. Lose Oldham and do you lose the production line which helped produce the likes of Kyle Eastmond and Kevin Sinfield?'"
We don't all feel like that though. Some of us can appreciate your plight, it's only just over a decade ago that we were in a similar position but with alot of hard work from some very dedicated people we survived and look at us now. Stick in there. |

| Quote: Saddened! "You have to wonder why they even bother. Rugby league isn't capable of being a professional sport outside of Super League. Teams are going to the wall left right and centre and those that do continue do so on the back of cash strapped benefactors.
Either get the sheiks involved in the sport or make it amateur below SL to reduce the cost.'"
Do you seriously think anybody with that sort of money would invest in a club that cannot be promoted to the top tier because of location and invest in competitions with salary caps ? |

Find your own answers. You are like some kid wanting someone else to sort his problems 
Now, we have the Sky money and KD's money and it is great. I love it. I intend to enjoy the relative success the Giants are having. If it changes so be it. I won't bleat on here like you do.  |

| Quote: Geekay "Marsdengiant, you do talk a lot of rubbish and you also seem to be asking everyone else for answers to questions, so here's one for you. The Giants have recruited two of the best young players in Cumbria in Sean Lunt from Town and Greg McNally from Haven, so when can we expect the full Giants first team to play a game at both those venues? I mean the first team not the under 18 academy team.
And maybe you could tell us exactly what sort of payments our clubs received for these two excellent recruits? My final question is when do you celebrate your second anniversary of following the Giants?'"
You like to tangle things up. Player contracts do not have to be linked to friendlies. Furthermore players should be able to enter into contracts with the clubs of their choice.
The Giants play batley as the 'free game'. The club play several regular first teamers + some capable squad players in the team. HTH |

I'm sure the Huddersfield ' hordes ' will fill the mount making the Bulldogs solvent for the upcoming season |

And then this from another Leigh fan to try to address the terrible fixtures that all clubs are struggling with
And your idea,s are ?'"
Roadshows? a free game? Forcing some sort of bizarre collaboration between clubs? Restricting the marketing activity of SL clubs.
All your many posts on the woes of C1&2 clubs and that is it? Ho hum. |

Once again your's are ?
It could work for the Giants as well , stop nasty Leeds nicking all your locals , lets face it they dont bother going to the Galpharm do they
But I forget , the Huddersfield Giants are the model of a successful solvent well run sports business |
