Quote: jaybs "Well gutterfax, that is Your opinion, I feel we need to be in an area where the game of rugby league is being played in schools, amateur teams and clubs both youth level and open age, that way you can build upwards and sell the club as part of the community, the ground has to be then part of that community seven days a week, I would in a stadium we own consider a pitch like Widnes, so it can be used by the community and all our teams so they are in the area all the time.'"
1. RL is played by schools and by amateur clubs in West London......
2. The club has been in West London since 2002.......but has failed to engage fully with these clubs and schools...why would it be different in East London?
3.Own Pitch? Shit me a few of those million pound notes whilst you're at it.....a stadium of our own....
we are losing millions a year, have 890 ST holders and an ever decreasing fan base....let's spend 15 million on a white elephant.
4. Community......you make it sound like a scene from the sound of music with kids dancing in the fields.....the cold hard reality is it is a pipe dream. Community takes years and a shed load of hard work to achieve.....
5. In your eastern utopia, would there be any form of marketing to announce the presense of the team or would the RFL pixies do that for you
Sorry if I sound sceptical, but moving again is just too easy an option....why not try this community thing where we are first?
