| Quote: Kosh "Really. Where have these 'millions' been wasted, exactly?
In Cardiff in the 80`s, Bridgend then Wrexham and still ongoing elsewhere other than the heartland of the game
quote = "Kosh" Cardiff wasn't a failure in economic terms. The RFL were actually paid to stage the first two events there.
Heres some figures for you to ponder on the raging success of the misguided magic weekends prior to this year
Millennium 6 days rugby and Murrayfield 4 days rugby joint seating capacity 718,200 less 296,981 tickets sold leaves 421,219 seats empty over the ten days of rugby. Now I ain't all that up on economics but that looks an awful lot of empty seats to me, actually rather more than was taken up. We might just, might mind you fill the Etihad on both days and then the case is answered. Unequivocally.

We wont fill it. Fc sold the most at 2k tickets- if every club did this then we would be just over half full (50k capacity for football events) london/cats wont bring close to that amount.

Whilst it is irrelevant wheather you argee with the content of the letter or not, the RFL will be fuming. He has not done the club any favours and dare I say that the refs just might not do us any favours with decisions if the RFL have there way!!

You and your cronies over in the secret club are so embarrassed by the letter - it's poorly presented argument, "naive style" ![]()
They've obviously ignored the bloke's day job. If he had even a hint that this was a put up job, there'd be writs flying wholesale

They might well be, we will have to wait and see over the next few days what arrises. |

As I said, the RFL were [ipaid[/i to stage the event at Cardiff. They got the stadium for free and folding cash on top.
I have no idea if Edinburgh offered anything similar but they must have had a good reason to move the event there. |

| Quote: Mild Rover "I see Eamon McManus, the Saints chairman has raised essentially the same points as NH:
I can't help but feel that if the RL was to reduce the number of clubs then Hull as a city would be forced to lose a club in the top flight.
I think that Redhall should work more closely with the grass roots clubs rather then try and promote the game in places where it will never take off.

Surely hudge has already started to cut his cloth in line with income at rovers? Last year you lost a highly paid coach and replaced him with an unheard of assistant, you also lost newton and vella (and maybe more but can't remember who left), both of whom will have been on a stack, and replaced them with reserve grade overseas players. Plus you lose the international wages of briscoe and fox and replace them with hodgson. I wouldn't be surprised if rovers overall spend on coaches and palying staff is down £250k+ this year. It's no great surprise you are performing as you are

, and it's apparent grammatical error in addressing the receivers as "Gentleman" in the singular - they are condemning it as a fake. Suggested author?... A Hull FC fan.
