You maybe right on a fully professional basis but should still survive if it went back to semi-pro and amature level,the game seemed to do ok before super duper league and the input of sky tv.Personally if the top tear of rugby league was at an amature level I would still watch Wakefield play with a team full of local lads,so let's look after what we've got.

Quote: SmokeyTA "One day you might learn the difference between very unlikely and impossible, one day you may learn to read, one day this board may actually fill its entire front page with comments from people about RL made that day, one day the mods of it may make a comment about RL, one day this board may be popular. As this has yet to happen, the same as some one jumping 9 metres, or 3 metres high, ill assume it is unlikely to happen in the near future and even less likely to be a common occurrenc, you keep checking under the bed for lions.'"

One day you might actually post something that means something rather than drivel to try and get a reaction icon_rolleyes.gif
There is a massive difference between impossible and improbable, but to work that out you would need a dictionary and for that to be successful it would also require you to acquire the ability to read d040.gif

The best way for RL to expand is from the homelands, not 200-300-1000 miles jumps, Nottingham or NE would be the next logical step not Essex/Middlesex or Kent icon_rolleyes.gif

Quote: charlie63wildcat "Why should the game try to expand? It's been trying to expand for over 100 years and failed. I would suggest we should concentrate on making the competition stronger in the heartlands and forget it. If it is ever to expand, then satellites 100's of miles away is not the way. Geographical stepping stones...like the one we had at Sheffield and wrecked with the Shudds merger. You could then have tried for a dDerbyshire team and so on...still don't think it would work though. Kick and clap is just too well established. Plus if expansion means shafting clubs like us, you can keep it.'"


Although there is nothing wrong with your sentiments, if the game doesn't try and sell itself to a wider audience it will contract and may struggle to attract decent level sponsorship, which to some extent, is the case just now.
Where do you think new fans will come from if we don't expand the game ?

Plus if we want to strengthen the international game, there needs to be something in place to help the French.

Not wishing to provoke Smokey again but, IF SL is cut to 12 teams will the RFL go with clubs backed by a "sugar daddy" or will their be other criteria ie attendance, community work, facilities, finance etc.
The current 2 weakest teams are London and Salford but they both have wealthy backers.
Bearing in mind that the decision will be made in the early part of next season ? how much will change for these 2 clubs and where does this leave the likes of Cas, Widnes, KR and ourselves.
It seems that the rugby league world cant get enough of Dr K and you get the feeling that Salford will be bomb proof for the foreseeable future.

Yeah the RFL's new licensing criteria is that along with 12K covered seating modern stadia, you must have a chairman that is a "Ming the merciless" lookie likey icon_wink.gif
