Quote: No pain no gain "Using Leigh as a fine example of how it can be done is short sighted to say the least. All their spending goes into their first team. They have a reserve team that hasn't fulfilled a fixture this season, no academy, no ladies team and no pdrl team. Salford are another side were all the funding is spent solely on the first team. If every team in the competition operated like this rugby league will cease to exist in the iong term.'"
I never mentioned anything about dropping any of the teams that run out of our club. It cost this club approx £300,000 a year according to MC to run the other teams at our club . I’d like to think that this new owner can cover these cost in the short term and still have a competitive team when and if we come back up into super league. Because without it we will forever be courting disaster and losing out on those quality players who will favour safer clubs to ply their trade , which will always have a knock on effect on our fan base as is seen at present, with less that 4000 fans included a decent contingent from Salford to our last home game , which if I’m honest is pathetic to say the club is battling relegation and needs their fans in its hr if need . The only way to build this club up is to have a terrific team running out at Belle Vue , anything less and fans will continue to drift away from our game , as is happening at our club now .
