Word is they are in serious trouble!

Bobbhy Hope yes Bobby Hope the man who nearly killed Leigh RLFC has resigned and administration looks likely.

With this in mind pace back Ballard and Hemmingway would be great additions to our depleted squad any thoughts???

Quote: FTrooper "From what I have been told they are a victim of their own success.
They did not budget to win so many games ,but why are people slagging in them off .
We should as a sport rally round them how much money have the RFL pumped into the QUINS ,CRUSADERS AND THE FROGS to keep them going.
Blackpool have a lot of local lads in their squad and giving coaching opportunities to local English lads to.
So instead of acting like a pack of Vultures lets look at the bigger picture they are a Lancashire club so lets support them not kick them in the teeth when they are down.

I thought Leythers where Rugby Lovers

Do you want to point out to any time in - say - the last 10 years where the RFL have 'pumped money' into any of the clubs you've mentioned. Without going 'everyone knows' etc. You can't, because it's not happened.

I'm assuming the 'self confessed SL lover' Fred refers to is me... get your facts right Fred, I've no huge love of SL, but I'd rather be inside looking out, than outside looking in. Your posts on that subject invariably taste of sour grapes. Glass half empty I assume?

I thought RL lovers were progressive. Obviously they're not.

What planet are you on the Rfl bailed out the London SL franchise and didn't dock them any points.
Catalan receive a lot of lets say favours from SL /RFL.
And what about CRUSADERS are you saying they have received no out of pocket funding ?
And what about the illegal signings ?

I,ll ask you a direct question do you think Blackpool Panthers should be allowed to go under at the expense say of another french inclusion into SL ?

The RFL have a fantastic opportunity to piggy back on the succsess of the other game to expand the game on the Fylde coast not kill it .

Please do not send me any PM's I dont check this board often enough to be able to answer them, use my e mail add please fjparkinson@virginmedia.com All posts on this message board by me are mine I am NOT a representative in any way shape or form of ANY Rugby League club.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_2032.gif



Your wrong Nik I have never wanted SL at Leigh until we are ready, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't take it if we deserved to be there, and at the moment we are as good as chance/bet as any other, and whilst guaranteed 3 years in it does give time to consolidate.

So as anyone on here who actually bothers to read my popsta on the subject will tell you how can it be sour grapes when last time I called for us to 'take the money and run' instead of a season that I said would tear the heart out of the club, and very nearly did.

half empty glass? No for theres nothing in it worth drinking.

Now answer these questions 1. Why do the RFL not sanction Harlequins (and I suppose Wigan but one can hardly blame them) when the Wigan CEO is allowed to have a controlling interest in both clubs, clearly against RFL rules and when they were warned two years ago, and 2. Why are Crusaders or why were they allowed to be run by TWO controlling companies during the close season again clearly against RFL rules, and 3. Why no 'punishment' from the RFL to The original welsh team for fielding illegal players for THREE years. 4. Why were the RFL allowed to alter the funding 'rules' AFTER the inclusion of Toulouse.

Are you that far removed from RL reality to know that what is happening at Blackpool could happen to 99% of all Championship and Champioship 1 clubs not to mention 75% (if not 100%) of SL clubs.
No Biase in Rugby League, get real.
So who is to blame? the blame lies squarely at all the member clubs in the RFL in putting up with all the carp coming out of red hall, but they are scared of getting together in case they get labelled 'trouble makers' and the holy grail of SL is snatched from their grasp.
The RFL as an organisation are doing some great work especially at the ground level, but that begs the question WHY when there is already an organisation in place to do that, BARLA, but that is a completely different can (more like a barrel) of worms that will be opened in the not too distant future I fear.

There's a one word, simple answer to all your questions Fred and that's SKY. Red Hall will do anything SKY ask.
