Thank you.
Four days for a response because i do not have a computer at home.
We all have our own opinions on expansionism. I work with supporters of various teams, Bradford, Castleford and Leeds and one thing that we all agree on is that we don't care about Wales, France, London etc.
Nothing personal you understand but we're just not bothered....

Cas fans? really? every cas fan i know want thunder to do well, cas have alot of links with thunder. I admire thunder fans because they have been sgafted and saw there club die but refused to give in and wallow in self pity, and are now looking forward to a bright future, a hell of alot of rl fans could learn from there example. |

The funniest thing is that Doncaster and Castleford were expansion teams at one point. I think if RL lost the tiny 5,000 or so minority of fans like 'rupert bear' we would be much better off.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Unfortunatley, RL in the Championship can ill afford to lose 500 fans, never mind 5000! |

It is teams like us who struggle along year after year who are the heart and soul of Rugby League, not leeds and Saints etc or Harlequins, Celtic, Gateshead, Catalans.
Rugby League belongs to the likes of Hunslet, Workington, Swinton not a made up plastic team !'"
What; you mean all 400 of you |

You really believe that fans have that influence ?
You really believe it is my fault that the game is only played where it is played ?
One thing that will help those fans to stop going is the current system we have of no promotion and relegation , teams playing to different rules , a team playing that cannot be relegated , gross mismanagement by the governing body
But it matters not , because those fans are not important , that is a fact in the eyes of the RFL |

RL is for men, not boys.
Rhinos and Thunder fan.: |
|

Thunder should win this one, with a decent score line to. I'm not saying Donny are easy by any means, just Thunder will be more than ready for this fixture.

So it's not our fault that the game didn't grow outside the heartlands , but you dont like our discomfort at the RFL messing about with the rules to expand the game
Unfortunatley you cannot have one without the other |

On thread drift:
[quote="tb":24qn1m99]Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.[/quote:24qn1m99]
Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”
[i:24qn1m99]There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back![/i:24qn1m99]

I think these might belong to you.
So what do you think the final solution might be to the problem? |
