Well Cats had a great success with their game there having put a lot of effort into marketing the game (dirty word Marketing lol). Agree with you Brian Scarborough is just another Yorkshire town so bit pointless.

I believe bostys words were. " change or it will die" which you agreed with.
I just challenged the word die!
Dismissing a set up like scarborough, which yes has been tried several times is a bit silly o feel, not all growth has to be 100 miles away

I ask you this NB, a new properly funded club in Scarborough or a new properly funded club in say Bristol what is going to attract more coverage or at least appeal to Sky?

Problem is there is no fan base in bristol, as there wasnt at all golds, or oxford.
Coventry is a blazing success!
Any new club should be encouraged, wherever it is.
Expand from the edges might be the better option. Build on where there is interest rather than thinking along the lines of "build it and they will come option".

DC.
Dont get me wrong, i would love to see RL teams established and succesful in Bristol, Birmingham, nottingham, London, Glasgow.
Reality is that aint happening any time in any future me or you will see. There is not the money and there are not the fans or the players

Don’t think there is any fan base in Scarborough, their football team flourished for a while then vanished. Barcelona has greater attraction purely because it’s in Catalonia and might tap into regional pride etc . Unlikely to worry Barcelona FC, but expansion to Scarborough isn’t the answer to any question I am aware of having been asked.......

There is probably more rugby league fans in scarborough than there are anywhere near bristol though. At least there is a reasonable community game around there as well. Sadly the SW still struggles to attract any real interest in the community game, and thus comes from someone who has played down there.
At least with barcelona its on the edges of the french league set up.

I only mentioned Bristol as an example of a progressive city that likes sport, there are others of course.

Scarborough not likely to get anyone's pulse racing, least of all TV broadcasters but great if you want to be beside the seaside.

We should be celebrating any new RL venture
