Have to say, your defensiveness further promotes the marginalisation of our sport.....Foxy Bingo are not a charity...they have identified their target market and will advertise accordingly...as in Jeremy Kyle and now Superleague!
Defend it all you like, but in reality, it bundles your average RL fan in with the inbred redneck scum on Kyles show.......and in case you are in any doubt, that is embarassing!

Keno bingo sponsor the NRL. Put your posh dummy back in and congratulate the RFL for putting together a group of partnerships in one of the worst recessions ever.
Lets get rid of all the northern types then and have Broncos style attendances throughout SL.

Keno paid the NRL $3 MILLION a year for naming rights for Super Saturday......Keno is drawn every evening on national TV in 'stralia.
I wonder how much revenue the RFL have got for this association? If it was a decent wedge, we would have been told.....
BTW, there are bingo halls south of Watford....they too are populated by the same stereotype that no doubt their northern counterparts are....nothing snobbish at all, just factual.
Applaud the RFL all you like...I'll do so when they announce a deal bigger than the one closed by saracens RFC.....a -poor union club with 6k fans and 1.5 million a year!
The perceptions of Superleague and the Aviva Premiership when viewed by sponsors are as far apart as black and white and "foxy bingo" coming on board does nothing to lessen the gap.
Check out the sponsors and partners at these 2 sites.
rlSITE 1rl rlSITE 2rl...one of these sites has been professional for less than 20years, the other for over a hundred....yeah, the RFL are doing a splendid job.
BTW, I have no control over the disgustingly shocking going ons at London Broncos..the club is abasket case run by a guy who to date has only achieved on thing of note in 24 months and that was conning the chairman into giving him a job.....but attendances at London are not up for debate, the class/standard of sponsor in ESL is..

Can you ever imagine RU ever being sponsored by anything like a bloody bingo company!
Thats why we need a re brand so RBS, Aviva etc get involved. Not some pastime played in social clubs by "big Birds" on there one night out per week in there Primark dress'"
Your typical put downs of everything "northern" does nothing for your crusade to make us want to support a London franchise. In fact it does the complete opposite. If I were you old chap I would start watching Quins.

Speaking to people at the club he also made a lot of other promises that he failed to deliver on.

| This guy is a shameless peddler of snake oil - he's made the same wild claims at Fax, Cas and now Fev, and even as a self-styled 'world stategic guru,' had enough time to embarass himself and Cas Tigers by posting on a Cas supporters forum, giving details of how he wanted to take the club forward but the BoD wouldn't play ball.
"I was initially intrigued as to how PROBIZ and Halifax could mutually synergise through cooperation and collaboration."
For that sentence alone, I'd expect a no-nonsense Yorkshire RL official to have slotted him one; as it is, I hope he doesn't lead Fev up the garden path in the same way he did at Cas.

| I really hope this works out for Fev, but you can't help but worry about this guy's track record.
I hope things are put into place at Fev that will include a backup plan incase things go wrong.

| Although the guy doesn't seem to have put much into RL, is his record in the round ball game as poor ?

Its not the ‘cloth cap’ image. That’s your own insecurities coming through. It is the fact Rugby League isn’t something they associate with. One token club in an RU stadium doesn’t build an association with the entirety of London.'"
Ha ha, I never realised you were a shrink as well as a R.L guru, but you're right about the lack of association regarding R.L unfortunately, they never will. You can preach all you like to the converted, however, you'll never manage to sway the union lot I'm afraid.
Quote: SmokeyTA "It is, unfortunately that, or the game dies. We are seeing it in action now, we are seeing that small towns cant compete, we are seeing that a lack of big places and glamour ties means we struggle for sponsorship, our image as a game played in small northern towns makes us less attractive to TV companies. It is a sad reality that if we stick to being a sport played in a small area, relevant to a limited amount of people our value will fall, when that happens we will go back to being semi-pro. When that happens we will be in a spiral that will end up with the game’s presence as even a semi-pro sport being token. Our best players will leave, people will stop watching and that will mean people will stop playing. In my lifetime we will either see a much larger national presence or a game which, for all intents and purposes, is dead.'"
Unfortunately you gloomy outlook may well transpire, before the other code paid "proper" wages we could always entice a good few over & before our glorious currency plummeted we could even get a decent Aussie, but now it's all turned around, and like global warming, we're blissfully heading towards the abyss.
You'll have to walk away and follow your other love if you want national domination, whereas I may get to see my team actually win something, tin-pot or not. a G.F win over Featherstone played at Headingley will do for me. When you're starved of success, you take any crumb.

| Quote: vastman "Well then you clearly don't know your local area. Fev are de facto Pontefract's team and always have been.
Featherstone had a similar average than Wakefield when both were in the old first division - so I wouldn't look down your nose at them if I were you.
However one thing is for sure they will always out average London and will always produce good players.'"
Really, only lived in Featherstone myself for 10 years and have friends and family that have lived there all their lives who support Featherstone who I've gone to games with.
Where exactly have I looked down my nose at them bud, seriously, how do you go from me saying I don't think they could average 7K to me looking down my nose at them, that's quite some bloody leap and all the more hilarious if you knew anything about me. I personally would love to see the day where we can start up our old rivalry with them in SL but it doesn't take away from the point I made.
Yes they did average between 3000 & 4000 back then, similar to what we were pulling in, which was an appalling time for us but it shows how hard it will be for them to almost double what they did back then, which was a relatively good time for Feath with it's CC cup win and promotion to Div 1.
Even taking into account the whole of Ponte which has about 28k people living there, it will be a mighty tall order for such an increase imo. Look at our club for example, in our City when you take away Cas & Feath areas and others that wouldn't count themselves as Wakefield people we have over 200k potential punters and look how hard it's been for us to get up and over 7k.
Like I say don't get me wrong I like Feath as a club they're my second club & they're doing so much right on and off the field and i'd love them to prove me wrong.
