"Brian why not realise this could be a good time to show the RFL what we think we can achieve with broad thinking and common sense. The time is right for fans to show their support as we all have the same goal and ideals. This must not change the stance of others as it might harm the thoughts of them what don't want to vote".
I Charlie, I saw your answer to my post on SBW on my phone while I was in the pub having my usual 3 pints , I waited until I got home and then had a look at it on the PC.
I have split it up into 3 sentences to try and understand it better and have come to the conclusion that I do not know if I am playing on the Right wing or the Left wing.
I think this should be on the 19 page thread discussing the RFL that has been going for nearly a week and no doubt the Mods will let me know, but my knowledge of the English language makes me uneasy trying to go head to head with posters who seem to be able to talk all day rightly or wrongly.
My view of what is going on is that a large majority of S/L clubs want to take most of the revenue for themselves thereby cutting off the rest of the BRITISH SUPER LEAGUE.
This I am against, there are a lot of clubs who work their guts out to maintain a team in their towns, teams with a proud heritage whose fans turn up week after week proud to be known as supporters of that teams (WIN or LOSE )
The rot set in when teams where told they had to go fulltime Pro even when they could not really afford it and these teams soon fell by the wayside. Since then the R/L have been under the thumb of Sky who have kept the R/L feeding on crumbs, due to the fact that the R/L and a lot of the SO CALLED top clubs have been to bone idle to find an alternative method of funding.
When I first started watching R/L back in 1953 Wigan where by far the best supported club in the League and they paid the price without complaining ,every team in a 32 team league paid 5% of their gate money into a fund (levy) and at the end of the season the fund was shared out between all clubs.
Most clubs gained and an handful lost ,some quite a bit on the deal but R/L was better place.
That is my ramble over and no doubt I will be ridiculed for airing my views, but if it comes down to dog eat dog I do not think I want to be part of it. It is time both the R/L and the clubs started to fend for themselves and graft for sponsorship and extra funding from the TV companies instead of wallowing in abject apathy.
Charlie I hope what I have been putting down here is what you where referring to, if not so what, it is what I think.
