If we are going to have a “grass roots” discussion is should be aimed at the heart lands where the game is on its arris at grass roots but then that wouldn’t fit the narrative would it'"
Warrington has rylands, woolston, crosfields, latchford, culcheth eagles and burtonwood Bulldogs. Pretty sure that's 6. |

Well said, but Culcheth is nearer to Leigh, than Warrington !  |

Believe (happy to be corrected) that there were 4 Amateur Rugby League Clubs in Toronto at the time of the birth of the Wolfpack. This isn't to take anything away from Toronto on their fantastic achievement thus far and it is my belief that next year SL will be better with them in it and the Championship better without them. |

| Quote Budgiezilla="Budgiezilla"Yes Leigh has 2 amateur clubs, but I don't think there could be 3, as there aren't any more playing fields in the town, unless a school one was used.
p.s. Wikipedia might be wrong about 4 in Ontario, it could be more or less....the wonders of Google, eh Steph
Did you know Serbia has 17 teams, well you do now !

I didnt google it. It was an announcement from the wolfpac over the weekend that a 4th amateur club has now sprung up to join the other 3.
Amazing really when you consider there are about 10 other team sports being played in toronto to compete with |

It's a huge city, with the largest population in the country (around 2.6million). You'd be disappointed if it didn't have those sports on offer.
We played 8 or 9 at our school and there were only around 1000 pupils there
It's utterly irrelevant how many sports are on offer. I'm more concerned with the 7000 mile round trip, just to play for 80 minutes - it's just not sensible and probably not sustainable in the medium to long term.. |

"Grassroots" is a different problem altogether and with the "playstation generation" more happy in front of a screen, than they are in the real world, participation numbers are falling, although this is not by any means exclusive to RL.'"
This is such a cop-out and syptomatic of the "lets blame the easy answer" culture in RL.
There are PlayStations in the RU heartlands, yet its participation levels aren't declining. They're growing. |

The RFL should be asking themselves why the UK's second largest city Birmingham population 1.3098 million doesn't have a professional rugby league team

Because no investor or community has started one.
This is the confusion that most have. The governing body is there to manage the game. It should help clubs set themselves up. But it is not there to bank roll or form clubs.
The rfl did not set up saints, Wigan, Leeds, Hull etc. They were all formed independently and joined a league. |

Could it be that potential investors see the product as poor & badly managed by the RFL. |
