Quote: ninearches "So Mr Ganson, what you are saying is that RL will be allowed to prosper in a country as long as there is RU approval ? Is that revealing an insecurity among the Union hierarchy to an extent that they feel threatened by what they see as an inferior code which appeals to men in cloth caps ?
I must say though that if we can encourage non heartland spectators to events like this then it could mean that support for RL is better than it appears & we do have a healthy product. One obvious attraction though are price reductions but at least people are interested in going & seeing what the game is all about which can't be a bad thing.'"
If you are interested, I suggest reading the Forbidden Game by Mike Rylance, not a light read but really interesting and well put together.
Union will always be the sport of the establishment, and they will find ways to try and hold back League as they have done since 1895. I have a lot of respect for treizestes across the world standing up for TGG and they deserve all the support we can give them.
