A very sad day for RL in England.
www.therfl.co.uk/news/article/rf ... -blackpool
I think this should be the alarm bell that forces the governing body and its member clubs outside SL to sitdown and come up with a sensible workable solutions to what is happening to RL outside of expansion areas and SL. |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Much as the RFL are not my favourites , there is only 2 ways that a pro,semi pro club can continue to operate
They either have a single benefactor willing to finance them , ie they are a charity
They have enough paying supporters/fans to finance them , ie a business
The only real criticism that could be leveled at the RFL is that they seem to be far too happy to have a lot more charities than businesses as RL clubs playing in their competitions |

Wasn't the salary cap & regular monitoring of clubs finances brought in to stop this sort of thing happening? As you say, it doesn't take a genius to see what was happening - did the RL not ask questions?
Often wondered how Swinton manage it every year. |

Very sad, you have to feel sorry for the loyal fans that they have.

What help in particular? A big bag of money? Won't every other Championship club want the same bag of money from the RFL?

Blackpool were never viable as a RL club because they have no fan base. I realise they had a few loyalists but they would never draw more than 400 tops. Swinton might do better for crowds moving to the Willows this coming season but I fear they have been out of Swinton too long.
A serious problem for the Championship is that there will now be only 10 Champ 1 clubs next season which for most means 11 home games a season and a possible home tie in the Challenge Cup. They could have a season over in 12 weeks which does not seem sensible or viable to me.
