Quote: Dr Robert "Please tell me you are taking the micky by suggesting RU is played at the HJ.
- Why should we support a game that treated rugby league like something on its shoe for 100 years by practicing sporting apartheit.
- Why should we allow a game that turns pitches into ploughed fields to ruin the grass.
If union wants to raise its profile in Warrington I suggest it invests in the existing Warrington or Lymm clubs or sets up a "development" club.

I think it is different AP, though ground availaility is a common factor. Rugby League has tried to expand in areas where it perceived there was a market for it (London, South Wales, France) but where for a long time it was effectively prevented from doing so because of the availbility of grounds. Some efforts have been more succesful than others. Sale only moved about 10 miles from its base to Stockport and its fan base in South Manchester moved with it. I guess if SP is costing a lot of money Kennedy would want to draw a line under it and go somewhere else that would be cheaper, but it would still take its fan base with it.
Anyway for me the argument is much simpler, like most league fans I don't want them in my ground and in fact I'm not sure why we are discussing it in our forums
