Accept that one represents progress whilst the other represents the status quo, yes.
Major growth for rugby league is not going to happen in towns or villages that have had professional or senior amateur sides for 100+ years. Re-gaining fans that have stopped attending matches will happen, getting into schools and developing new generations of fans will happen - but neither will change the perception of a sport that the business and social elites have derided for being parochial and northern since its inception.
I hear a lot of fine words about the 'Energy Coast' and the input from nuclear companies to fund Cumbrian sport. What is in it for them? West Cumbria has little chance of attracting 20000 jobs to replace the nuclear industry if they upped and left, so beyond contractual obligations why should they fund any sporting developments?
Neither the Cloffocks nor the Recre have moved on much since they were first mooted though, so perhaps the dream of a super-stadium is still there.'"
Well Whitehaven don't do too badly out of the nuclear industry at present David!! Their main sponsor is Nuclear Management Partners and they donate £45k per season and BNFL made a pledge of £500k towards Haven's grandstand that they were hoping to get. Also it has already been stated in the press here that if this area was to become the Energy Coast there would be several millions of pounds for community projects. The Sellafield plant also makes available jobs for Haven players which is a big draw when signing players. |

Forgive my cynicism Keith, but a lot of claims are made in advance of deals being finalised that then get tied up in red tape for years to come. I remember the 80's bonanza of BNFL chucking money at Cumbrian RL, but 'community sport' is different to developing an elite club and elite facilities. I'm not sufficiently versed in such matters but I suspect there are tax breaks for companies that invest in community facilities - these would not be enough to get the finance needed for Cumbria SL though.

Whitehaven and Workington are about one and a half hours away from Kendal, getting the Barrow is now alot easier... from the M6 take the duel carriage way up towards the bypass at Cartmel, after the bypass the road isn't great for 10-15 minutes. |

Depends on the time of year mate. High tourist season (the RL season) everything takes longer in the Lakes, particularly the South Lakes.  |

The number of times I missed KO at Derwent Park or the Recre stuck behind a muppet in a caravan or even worse a farmer inexplicably choosing that time to shift his livestock. I still have nightmares about trying to get anywhere quickly in Cumbria. Other places may have more traffic, but they also have more routes, that means there is an alternative if the main route gets blocked! |
