It is if you miss the kick off time !!!

Or if several of your p/t players can't get the extra time off work required for extended travel times.

All drama drama drama isn't it. The fixtures aren't decided on the Friday are they. Most will have weeks if not months to plan their annual leave and I suspect most who play semi-professional rugby won't work the weekends anyway. There are amateur national leagues in football and rugby union and they don't struggle with long trips, so I really don't see why RL should.

There are of course issues with the Cornwall experiment. Finding any sort of support base and finding enough players to field a competitive side are the main ones. But League One sides having to hire a coach and drive to Cornwall isn't really one of them. They all managed to get to France and Canada.

I went on holiday to Cornwall in June. It took me 10 hours to drive home! I got home from Toronto in 8!!

8 hours You must have been speeding

Good luck to the club I hope it works out, gains new fans and new players.

I feel its a long shot but why not, it would be a great weekend away to watch the rugby.

The game desperately needs to expand outside of the M62 corridor to survive, yet all I've read on social media is people moaning about the distance, about traffic, how it will fail in Cornwall etc. Baffling. It's like folk want the sport to continue failing.

This is a huge shot in the arm for the sport and has the potential to grow the game away from the heartlands. The only negative I can think of is not calling the team the 'Cornish Pasties.' It has huge sponsorship potential.

I don't want the sport to continue failing, but there are many current and past examples of expansion clubs out on a limb struggling or failing to get a foothold.

What disappoints me is the lack of incremental growth from the heartlands outwards over the last 100 yrs, and how the game is predominantly still rooted to small northern towns rather than escalated into big cities.

The enthusiasm and dedication of volunteers to keep the (amateur) game going nationwide is fantastic, but that step up to pro or even semi pro sustainment is a huge way off.

Let's all hope for the best eh.....

I think people are genuinely disillusioned with the repeated failure of the RFL to create a sustainable Super League team in a brand new location. Before we have Catalans and Toulouse cited in evidence to the contrary let's remember they were formed 80+ years ago and are based in a long established rugby league playing area.

I would suggest the RFL would be best advised to focus on resolving the falling attendances and RL interest in the M62 corridor first if they want to save the sport.

Notable exceptions

It's almost as if success on the field has a major effect on attendances (outside of Wigan)

Aggregate SL attendances have fallen consistently over the last decade as can be clearly seen.

I completely agree
