It means you can wear a shirt that fits, if you're a player. I haven't seen many shirt grabbers in the past 39 years.

No, you've answered a question that wasn't asked. You were asked whether you wanted the project to succeed. You've only said that you are against it. The inference I draw is that you want it to fail because that would prove you right.

Is that assuming that nothing else has changed?

Arthur Gould. Received a house in 1900 (or thereabouts). Overlooked by the RFU as they reckoned if Wales turned to NU, the floodgates would open down in the West of England.

That's only 37 years away.

Surely it's obvious.

No, I didn't miss your point. You missed mine. Other countries are getting it wrong.

I was under the impression that only the Yorkshire and Lancashire clubs, with a sprinkling from Cheshire, took sufficiently large gates to support paying players.

There's no need to redefine "monarch". Changing the meaning of words to fit your hypothesis is poor stuff.

I'm not a Muslim but I don't believe that either.

No.

Another example of confusing towns and cities with councils. Wakefield doesn't have three teams. Wigan doesn't have two. Hull has two. Leeds has two. Leeds used to have five.

Bradford split into a soccer club and a Northern Union club. Splitting into two Northern Union clubs would be less likely.

No. If you don't have a monarch to give you a Royal Charter, you can't have cities.
