Quote: SaintsFan "Before insulting me, maybe you should read up on what the RFL is about and what it has at its disposal. Also, reading the link I gave earlier in the thread might also help. The RFL has a team of experienced people specific to the job of advising and enabling clubs on recruitment, publicity, obtaining sponsorship, dealing with the salary cap, etc.
Doncaster is in a rubbish place for rugby league. Read RL history. It has never attracted local business. Gateshead Thunder are doing a better job. That will be at least in part to do with Doncaster being in a rubbish place where RL is concerned. No-one is fecking interested in Doncaster, business-wise, and that is Doncaster's problem. That does not mean there won't be local businesses interested in the Crusaders. You've already probably done better than Doncaster in catching Brains. The key is, to catch more of the same. And the RFL have stepped in to help in that process.

What on earth is so awful about that?

And, as it says in the link I provided, the RFL provided exactly the same kind of support to Catalans Dragons during their first season in SL. Look where they are now. But the Dragons aren't the only club to receive such support and such support isn't only offered to expansion clubs. Read up, do your homework before having a go at me. You might find you have to eat your own words.'"


You do realise that I am a Leigh fan icon_wink.gif

Yes they do and no doubt they have been advising Celtic for the last 3 years

Doesn't look like they have done much of a job does it ?

So Gateshead are doing a better job are they ?

They looked and sounded very similar to Celtic the other week when they played down at ours

Ex NRL players all funded by 300/400 fans

Think what they could do with 2/3,000 fans , you and Leeds are in big trouble when they go up in 2012 icon_lol.gif

How many Leigh fans go to Gateshead? Are all your players British/local? There are Geordie accents in their team, British accents and Aussie accents. I would expect a mix of local/British/foreign players in every RL team.

Quote: SaintsFan "
Quote: SaintsFan "Yup. Why else would you be having a go at the Crusaders? (Unless you were a Fax, Widnes, Featherstone fan)'"


Not having ago , just stating things as I see them , like you would on a internet MB

Quote: SaintsFan "Not sure since this has been announced as a new development. I think Celtic were doing fine in the Championship but Superleague - as Leigh may discover if it ever gets here - is a different beast altogether.'"


Well I seem to remember them mentioning the help they were getting from the RFL all last season

Doing fine ? they were running virtually on the same budget then as they are now , he was probably putting more money in last season than this , as for Leigh , well yes we had our day in the sun , I enjoyed being the director of a SL club visiting the various boardrooms

Quote: SaintsFan "Yup. I went there for the recent CC round. They had 4,500 crowd, of which we were about 1,500. Me and lots of other Saints fans had conversations with locals about the match - they were the ones who raised it with us because Thunder had done such a good PR job. They are in a very tough place compared to Leigh and yet they are making definite inroads into what is a hugely soccer-obsessed area.'"


So they drew an extra 2,500 fans for your visit , excellent shove them in SL now I say

Well, J20, you are a Widnes fan, so your word isn't exactly reliable in these circumstances. I for one won't be hanging my washing on it.

Your nylon shell suits and big hair are making me feel I'm at a Jimmy Saville and Wig convention.'"


So you thought the argument had died yet you start a new thread about Widnes fans. icon_rolleyes.gif

To be honest you're just asking for it now and people will be more than happy to keep trolling your forum.
