Quote: Wigan28/Leeds18 Andy "Clubs that can't spend to the cap shouldn't even be in SL.'"

So your saying you want a league of about 8/9 clubs?

Sam is the only RL player to receive any votes for this years SPOTY awards, he got 3 votes but didnt make the shortlist. 3 golfers, 2 cricketers, 2 from athletics, a cyclist, a boxer and a tennis player make-up the 10 man shortlist.

Quote: wrencat1873 "You're obviously well informed regarding our ground, i'm sorry that no effort has been made towards either improving our ground or indeed moving to a new stadium.
Over on the poor side of the pennines, we are all very humble and equally grateful to our "masters" over the other side.
We of course shouldn't be in SL because you deem us unworthy.
I had previously understood that we remained in SL "on merit" and although I dont deny that, but for the Crusaders demise we perhaps wouldn't be, we are still here fighting our corner and we will be somewhat stronger next seson. We may even have had the nod on a new ground, which would have been well on the way, but for some local government hassles.
Although you are slightly arrogant and a little dismissive towards other clubs, a league for one team has yet to be invented.
You could always speed up the transfer to union and join tha Rah Rah's.'"


I dont undertand why there is so much "hassle" for you to develop your ground? I support a football team called Crewe in League 2 of the football league. They overhauled one of their stands a few years back and it took them only 12 months from idea to completion! I realise that is only one stand but why can such a low down football team manage to do that but a supposedly top tier RL side be incapable? I agree completely with the sentiments that you are holding back SL. I actually tried to stick up for you on your own board last year and wished you all the best in attempting to get your new stadium off the ground and was attacked with a load of self righteous bile just because I was a Wigan fan tbh it was to the level which makes Leeds fans look humble and it wasn't by 1 it was by multiple fans. I no longer have time for your team holding back our League and would rather see the league drop to 10 teams and expand slowly over 10-20 years than see you, and to some small extent but nowhere near the level of you at the minute, castleford hold us back for the next 3 years.

The sport is run democratically by the RFL with member clubs each receiving votes on how the game is governed.
Even our humble little club doesn't agree with everything, however, we abide by the decisions that are made by the majority.
10 clubs in the league, would mean playing each other 3 times, plus cup matches and play off games, I know that this happens to some extent with the magic weekend, but there is a limit to just how many times that clubs wish to play each other.
As stated in previous posts, I have no issue with your club, but it seems that anyone that doesnt share your opinion isn't entitled to an opinion ??
Therefore, I will bid you farewell and leave you to your collective back slapping and bullying icon_wave.gif
