I too would like to see a Welsh side succeeding in Rugby League. I, would however like to see one that deserved to succeed, having a history of building a solid club and recruiting a decent team. Also having some knowledge of S.Wales I suspect that there is too little interest. Too much, too soon I fear.

Yes because they've all got better stadia, better youth development, better community structures etc, etc.....

fax have bradford, leeds, cas, and wakefield on the doorstep.

Widnes for Me

And that scores how many points in the franchise criteria?

It may surprise you to know that location is not the be all and end all of the process and as VforViking states, 'fax isn't exactly an isolated RL stronghold now is it.

And Huddersfield.

UMM.. I CAN TELL YOU THE CLUB IS IN TROUBLE INSIDE INFO

As Luke Dyers brother you really should keep this stuff to yourself

im not his brother bro

I would not worry too much about what Hull KR fans say. They are the biggest team in SL and have the arrogance to go with it, This can be seen by their recent success, trophies , quality of ground, friendly fans and also by the fact that they are so confident they can PICK on a club who have been in SL for one year.

Ignore them they are usually not worth bothering with.

As for the flat cappers of Leigh, widnes and Halifax do not worry too much about them.

Most proper RL fans wish you well and i will be bringing a car load of fans down your way in September and will do everything we can to support you.

No smoke without fire then?

Wakefield are more likely to fold, all things considered.

Though I don't want any club to go under - including celtic!

I wouldn't throw too much behind Samuel in the slightest! Didn't the Union team trust him to keep bailing them out? How much has he invested to SL side, a marque player for example? He's sold ground for his own profit already... hmm...
