'when my life is over, the thing which will have given me greatest pride is that I was first to plunge into the sea, swimming freely underwater without any connection to the terrestrial world'
Yves Le Prieur, the real inventor of the aqualung:
Can't someone get BAE Systems to sponsor a new build and share it with the football club, for a small place it seems daft to have two run down grounds when you could have a new shared ground which would be better for both clubs. Do the clubs own the freehold, maybe the grounds could be sold to build a new one.
Seems a shame to bring on the clubs as well as you have done to be denied because your ground is not deemed suitable.
By the way, I like grounds like yours, but the powers that be are hell bent on having a clinical, soul less concrete boxes and you are unlikely to get in without one.

Quote: Gary High "I think the criterea is flawed personally - It certainly has proved to be this season. Location shouldn't come into it !!
I go to the rugby to watch the game and have a few beers with my mates as I assume you do faxtastic - not to admire the lovely toilets or the nice seating. Bollox to that - If I wanted world class facilities I'd follow fan*y ball !! I agree that Widnes appear to be the only club 'currently' ready for SL and are a nailed on cert. I'd love to see the RFL stick to their guns though and expel those teams who haven't kept their promises.......Doubt it will happen though do you ?'"
I agree mate.I think location and stadium is bollox to be honest.Even telling teams to spend lots of money on a youth structure like widnes are doing.I prefer promotion and relegation every year.
But if rules are their i think a few superleague teams should be replaced.Why they got a god given right over barrow,fax,widnes or leigh?
Yeah mate, i think this licence process is turning fans against each other, which is wrong.It is a family sport, and i like to see fairness.I am a widnes fan and if we got a franchise and not won a grand final, i know we will get alot of stick. Serious now we are spending lots on youth and we be lucky if two or three come through.Most have left and gone to championship 1 sides such as rob draper,josh simm,keaveney,ostick,oconnor,bradburn etc.A few went to superleague like myler and sidlow.I feel it a waste of money, unless we got a franchise.Flynn,houghton and grady look good enough for the championship, from the youth.What the point in a youth set up if superleague clubs take your talent, or national league 1 sides take them?Anyway lets all enjoy our rugby next year and i think their will be some great games.
