Our Club (Hindley) asked each player to vote - I voted for the switch to summer - I'm sick of extreme winter weather

Agree with Ant.

It all seems a nice idea in theory playing in good weather etc.. but it will see the death of many a club. Their is already a shortage of players IMO in relation to the amount of clubs trying to field teams. Add into the mix summer rugby, 6 weeks kids school holidays, BBQs, family days out, summer holidays etc etc and just generally finding excuses to spend the nice weekends in beer gardens and alike. This will all have a negative impact on the number of players willing to turn out on a Saturday.

Count yourself lucky you dont have to make a 200 mile round trip to attend

I do feel for you all I really do...

Hahaha. If you can't make cracks on a forum then when can you

No problem with travelling to attend these meetings as we choose to play in this league but like has been said most of it could be done by email. In the past I have made the journey for a meeting lasting just 15 mins. Pretty bloody annoying considering Monday is soap night.

You're not Irlam are you Pal?

Play nice people and leave the insults out, I've trashed the offending posts.

Thanks

Are you joking??

What was offensive in my post? We are all adults on here you know. No swearing...bit of harmless banter. Jeez..power to your head

apparently, all the clubs are to receive a pack of information over the next few weeks from the RFL...

Not sure what difference a pack will make, your league committee have already been instructed from above what you will be doing

Good to hear, though somehow when the carrot is dangled and clubs follow it, I can't see you deciding against it no matter what you might think as fear of being left behind will force your hand.

Enjoy your moment of being able to decide your destiny, meanwhile I'll chuckle whilst you play "follow my leader".

Or more accurately, 'follow the overwhelming vote of our players and committee'.
