So rugby union is going to become rugby league? World game throws its lot in with rugby league - yep. Really do not think that one is happening.

Or are you saying league is going to throw its lot in with the other lot.

The only talk of merger seems to be coming from this thread. I still haven't seen a thread of evidence of this great game merger. I'm sorry but all of this is nothing but speculation.

How do you come to the conclusion that Rimmer's involvement in Union is evidence that a merger of the two games is happening. Please, let's deal with evidence and not pipedreams. Sorry, but this is all getting a bit silly.

When I could afford to watch Leigh regularly and they didn't play Friday night, it takes 2 buses and 1 train there and the same on the journey back. 9 hours round trip with the game included. As I'm partially-sighted I thankfully get free transport in Greater Manc area. But I fully understand anyone's reluctance to rely on public transport.

I will definitely be at CC semi-final so long as it's not Headingley. Too difficult to get to on public transport.

My dad takes the 582 to matches from Atherton, and it's been so unreliable that he's missed two games as a result. I take my bicycle instead. The buses are so crap and unreliable that I wouldn't like to rely upon them.

What Salford should have done, was put on a coach service from the Willows to AJ Bell. That option has probably gone now.

It wasn't Marwans decision pal. Temporarily forget his name but the previous owner of Salford took a chance on the new stadium with Salfords Willows sold off for housing development & a 3 way (IIRC) deal or funding between commercial investors, Salford Reds & Salford City Council.

The problem still remains that it's on the furthest edge of Eccles on the way to Irlam & Cadishead & pretty much in no mans land !

Edit.

Previous owner didn't feel they had a choice under threat of the RFL & minimum stadium standards while Wakey & Cas just lied their way through it for what 15 years ?

Like Sept Sev says they should have put coaches on for the supporters. Unfortunately, most clubs would rather take from fans than give back. Those missing fans are lost forever now.
