City sale should go through this week, which will mean a change in SMC ownership? Could well do us a favour, once Shamallam's gone.

I agree, if we don't win the league then it will only be an exhibition game but the chance to watch an nrl team play would be great. Would like to think a big crowd would turn up even if just to see them, I'm thinking of dobbins fans here. It would be a great spectacle.

Once sale does go through, Pearson needs to get in there straight away and start arguing our position. Make our presence really known and show that we are equal to them.

I think getting the game is achievable, however. If we dont get a fair rate from the SMC to host it, and with the SL clubs having to put money in, if it is going to lose the club money then that is something they need to look at.

I think it would be a sell out crowd though - we would be the only Yorkshire team in it so think that Cas, Leeds, Rovers fans would come and get tickets if they are priced fairly

SMC ownership is not tied to ownership of HCFC. Allam could decide to retain ownership of the SMC although it makes more sense to include it in the sale as it would increase City's value to a purchaser.

Doesnt he claim its worth 10m, but then also says its losing money! Concil should take over or buy the smc. Or just avict them

Would be great to see us taking on a NRL side. Not sure on the possible attendance though. Cannot see a sell out but over 14k would be good. In this year's Saints got 14k, Leeds and Wigan both 19k. Last season Warrington got just over 13k, Saints almost 18k and Wigan 20k.

I'd certainly attend and hopefully it would put a stop to the meaningless friendly with us as well.

Not really sure that a takeover by a consortium of chinese property investors would be any better for our future tenure at the kc than the mad egyptian

nail, head.

prob cannot get much worse though

Tbf I think we're obliged to play a Championship side in a pre season friendly so wouldn't necessarily be off the table.

Yes. Who knows what we'll get. And I remember being pleased to see the Allams when they first arrived after the hated Duffen.

A mad City fan friend of mine was talking to Look North's Simon Clark, telling him how excited she was to welcome potential new owners. He said, "Be careful what you wish for".

It's great spectacle to watch and I think that the Oz teams are now taking it seriously shown by the fact they are winning it. A few teams have given them a a tough game i think you guys would five them a tough game also


Warrington wolves v Melbourne storm
Hull v cronulla sharks
Wigan warriors v Canberra raiders

Would be a good 3 games to watch. Hopefully the supporters other clubs would help full the stadiums up and make it a good show

One of my favourite games to watch is our wcc game, i also remember going to ot watching widnes beat Canberra as a child memories like that are what makes future supporters of rugby league and should be promoted better!!

I'd also like to see a proper Australian tour when they play the top 8 super league clubs n then international test

I would like to see the return of the 3 match Ashes series competition which I watched when I was in England and went to almost all the matches when I came to Australia. Saw both of the last series in England and Australia when England/GB won. A long time ago!
