Sorry Fred can't agree - one word - ambition

With the right planning in place 'The Sky's The Limit' and so it should be especially in sport IMO

Great minds think alike

It's achievable for any club in Rugby League to become the best. There's still the potential, with some ambition, vision and good execution, for any club to rise to the top.

There are some big teams in Rugby League, but there's few clubs reaching their full potential. It's always going to be tough of course, but then who would have imagined that we could put a competitive squad together with probably 30% of the money we were spending just a few short years ago?

With the correct people, we can achieve great things.

Its all about money, income streams need to be built and exploited, only when that happens will our club, or any club break the current status quo

Iwasn,t having a go at widnes, more the RFL.I wish Widnes all the very best next season and prove to everyone that a team can come up from the championship and be competetive and hopefully other teams will follow.Good luck to the boys on sunday and looking forward to a great season

I think Widnes have ambition and with Stobarts be aiming for the playoffs over nxt few yrs.

Well,well,well. Woods and Lewis excel again. Free naming rights. Not a penny for SL. Free advertising for Stobarts.

Dictionary meaning of sponsorship - One that finances a project or an event carried out by another person or group, especially a business enterprise that pays for radio or television programming in return for advertising time.

PAYS being the operative word in all that.
If that's the case then those two have made SL and Championship in to products not worthy of selling as the TV rights have gone for nowt to Premier Sports.

And as a Halifax fan I also believe that Widnes should have got in to SL but there are clubs in there that possibly should n't be there.

The Watcher thanks the Lord that FredParky has nowt to do with the running of Leigh RLFC.

It's an opinion and I care not a jot what you or anyone else thinks of it.

Leigh Centurions in their current state would be dead and buried after 2 years in SL, we are nowhere near a SL club

As for the SL deal? , well it is an interesting one, massive exposure against a relatively small amount of cash, the vote was very close, if it was the Championships, which would we take?

Sure I read in the RL press, that NO MONEY has changed hands, and that the SL clubs were only aware of the detail of the Betfair offer 6 hours, yes 6 hours before the meeting

But potentially huge exposure for the sport, the Betfair offer was 50 grand each, the equvilant of 5 grand to us, or 300 trucks driving around the country with your competition and clubs plastered all over them?

Thers a thread on the Hudds board were they say 6 clubs voted for stobart and 5 voted for betfred,4 clubs never turned up for the meeting
