1/4 page in the Independant today about Leigh! first time ever! nothing in the sun! come on lads work your magic! esp spider! write to these papers let them know we have a potential super league club in our town!

If only. Salford would have Sky money to pay the rent, so the pecking order would change again...

Lets face it - the RFL could award a franchise to a team with slim/no hope of building their own stadium, playing from a nice stadium away from their supporters - or they could give a franchise to a team playing in a nice stadium in their own town.

I'm biased, but I know what I would choose.

don't make me mad you wont like me when i'm mad

Never been one to let the thuth get in the way of a good rant then?!






Interesting choice of phrase?!

Was Snow White with him?

The first franchise club (Celtic) moves ground and area , loses virtually every game and gets caught out for employing illegal immigrants.

The 2nd franchise club has had some unseen problems getting the new ground they said they'd have and the support and imagination of the Manchester public they said they'd attract.

I actually cannot knock either of those clubs (or there chairmen - definatly not their fans) as they can only do what they allowed to get away with by the governing body (and if the games 2 biggest winning clubs play out of old fashioned stadia then why should Celts & City Reds waste player contract money building grounds that will always be half empty)

It does beg the question of the validity of future franchise process's as its blatantly apparant that the RFL didn't dig very deep when getting long term assurances /plans during the last process from many clubs currently in SL.

she must be hiding in his little white van with her little friends waiting for it to go dark

The Criteria WILL change or too many current SL clubs will be demoted.
