Mr Plow Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Looks like there is a new WCC trophy I prefer the original one, this one looks like a generic trophy. This will be the fourth after the original, World Championship and the World Club Series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gooleboy Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 No top notch Sponsor for such a big game is a real sad state of affairs. Smacks of Betfred standing in as there is no one else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Henson Park Old Firm Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I've always believed to make the WCC more attractive and a really meaningful game, the winner of game receives 1 point for there next season. I reckon Super League would embrace it but you'd find the NRL club would take the game more serious and the 15 other clubs go into utter meltdown.

cookey Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Gather the crowd should be over 20,000,with two of the stands already sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastLondonMike Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I guess when you change the branding of the competition you kind of have to update the trophy that features the old branding. Big Soup trophy was decent, the Dacia serving plate less so. Newham Dockers - Champions 2013.

A bit like pretty much all the other trophies available in sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
