I think each country should get a six figure sum so that's pretty big.

The clubs get plenty of data on fans who bought tickets (unless the fans opted out on purchase) so they can be contacted and marketed to.

There are other community follow ups planned as well but that's all I know about so as a legacy, it's a good start.

I do wonder sometimes how you get away with chatting such utter rubbish.

This WC was IMO very important in that quality players turned out for the smaller nations. This structure needs to carry on to keep those nations improving. Part of the issue is that these second / third tier nations do not play regularly enough to keep a strong set of players together and build teams between world cups.

Record attendances at both the semis and final - yeah its been a failure hasn't it.

I've had loads of feedback from mates saying how impressed they were not just with the latter stages but also the fact that teams like Italy and Samoa were competing against the big boys.

Yes, in the short-medium term Aus, NZ and England will dominate, but what should happen after this WC is building on the positive performances and even contests the lesser nations have produced. The only failure in this regard in 2013 was France, who were hopeless and that is the bigger worry for me.

The biggest legacy is getting RL respect in this country. Believe me England's appearances on the BBC have had a massive impact on the general public outside the North, a huge amount of people didn't even know RL existed before the tournament and now do and like it.

Sky news believes the talks are positive:

Shame we don't know what to believe

5pm today is the deadline for administration if no deal is made.

The Hive it is then

The Hive it is then

The countdown is on......

I just wish i knew who was negotiating with who about what? What have the RFL/SL clubs agreed with us if anything. Is it just the ground that needs sorting?

You need to get rid of that chip on your shoulder. No one, as far as I know, wants London to fail. As I see it, people just want a level playing field instead of competing against clubs with special dispensations. It is looking like your club will get dispensations regarding the overseas quota. I've no real problem with that, but some might, and it's a fair point to make.

Why should the owner of a northern club turn round to its fans and say that they will sacrifice their chance of success so that we can all have another go at making London successful, particularly when its fans appear to regard those northern fans as just followers of "pit town clubs"? And it has to be noted that 4,000 people watching a semi-professional HKR take on Wigan would be a record crowd for you in recent years.

I hope it works in London or the south, I really do, but continual expectation of special favours or slagging of the paying northern customers does not do greatly for your cause. It isn't the fault of the RFL that not enough people turned up to the Stoop, and that's the bottom line.

We don't all slag off northerners and northern clubs. Some of us appreciate that the north is the life blood of our game and has a lot of heritage to be proud of.

Gutterfax doesn't even live in this hemisphere so ignore him.
