Just smoothing the way for when they buy a place for down in the smoke

The RFL should have done this earlier in London, to have had base and a training centre!

The RFL did not seem to be keen on Betfair, or should that be Chairman Richard Lewis! partly because of his connection with Sport England. Would it not be good for RFL and Sport England to back a Centre of Excellence in London based at a ground, use a pitch like Widnes Vikings, if it works and the pitch could be in use 7 days a week for the community, Come on Richard show what you do for RFL and can do!

As Richard Lewis was at the LTA how about converting centre court at Wimbledon!

Well it would ensure it is used a little more than currently! LOL

Would not surprise me in the least, and not too far from now.

I am surprised that Betfair were interested in sponsoring RL to be honest. The volume of money in their RL markets is pitiful even for televised games. Maybe they saw an opportunity to grow that but it would never have much volume.

Once the trucks hit the motorways I can see thousands of non rugby league fans saying this is the game for us! will we be able to cope.

Perhaps some drivers may ask to themselves who are those people on the side of the wagon and what is super league! or why has that player on the left only got a black top on?

Drove to Birmingham and back today and never saw one Stobart truck on the motorway, I wonder how many Stobarts trucks drive around London?

[i"Stobart chief executive Andrew Tinkler insisted his company were ready to become fully involved in rugby league, even going as far as to suggest players could be offered jobs as truck drivers at the end of their careers."[/i

And have our sponsor decals fallen off? We seem to be the only unsponsored side with the Stobart livery being completed as we look on.

Neil Fissler suggests in a tweet response to me could be the Sponsor for us is being held back to media launch day tomorrow! I so Hope he is correct!

Some folks will think Melling is a ref.

At least the sponsorship of Super League is positive, Richard Lewis and Nigel Woods will be set up for jobs as lorry drivers with Stobart when the rugby league careers come to an end.

We will look like Widnes if Stobart sponsor us.

I am joking, will make us look a bit better and hopefully they can benefit the club. If they don't bring a benefit to the club I would question why we and they have bothered.

Maybe we get extra trucks on the m25? Like the 2000 other eddie stobart trucks in the UK that will not feature anything about rugby league
