Mountfield, East Sussex, today

Just got a new Sony A290, so I may start posting on this thread again

I think we need multiple camera angles, as they do in Yawnion, and wendyball before we start moaning about 3D, and as for the coverage between the Sky & NRL coverage, Rugby League is the number 1 sport in Aus, our media treat us somewhere around Ice Hockey is treated in Morocco, Sky push soccer games because the knobheads who follow that sport NEED reminding when there is a big match coming up so they can stop beating the wife & shagging their sister Uh-oh, another warning coming up!

it's funny, whenever I used to go to away games I always managed to get a beer in either before or after somewhere near to the ground, I never did at Wigan, I have no idea why. Leigh, Rochdale, Oldham, Wire, everywhere else beer, never Wigan.

why not make all the league games count towards the play offs? Say Wigan beat Leeds at the DW, by 20 points, and lose at Headingly by 16, in the play-offs, give Wigan 4 points start. We can ignore Magic weekend fixtures in this.

Nothing to do with the fact that season tickets don't cover Play-off games and most of you are too tight sorry, short of money, to actually pay to gain entrance to see your clubs? case in point

Now for Saints v Giants, Leeds v Wigan

Yes they play at the Galpharm, but in the context of the article they moved into what was at the time known as the McAlpine Stadium

My bandanas for work have arrived.

And if Latics are drawn at ome in a 4th round FA cup tie, they will have to find some way round the 48 hour rule if Warriors have a league game scheduled that weekend? Maybe play it at the Reebok? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, (Nurse, the tablets)

I wonder why Latics couldn't move their match to the Monday, a ground share is just that, not one sports dominance over another (Oh, there I go again, reporting from la-la land, I forgot, the great god football is the immovable mountain, when will the HMRC finally close a Football club for unpaid taxes, and show the FA they are not bigger than the law)

My name is Bleep1673, and I am the first person to claim the free tee shirt,

I feel like I am on QI, and about to have the klaxon blaring at me for an obvious answer being wrong, but.... Why aren't Bramley being allowed into CC1? 6GF's should be enough even for the Ostrich's at Red Hall to notice?

So Saints won by the needed 8 points to take 2nd place above Warrington. How mny others have noticed a Humberside Police cancellation of Leave, because Hull FC will be at home to Hull KR in the first round of the playoffs? Well done to crusaders, another amazing Playoff qualification, just remember what happened last time you made it to a Play-Off...... Celtic Crusaders v Swinton Lions was the first Rugby League game to be deceided by the "Golden Point", Oh, we won with a Chris Hough Dropped Goal. Our moment in history again.

Yes play a game at Old Trafford! 41271 would still look empty in a 80000 stadium, how much does it cost to hire Old Trafford? How much profit can the RFL make? We don't use these stadia for free, we are trying to turn a profit in the 2013 WC, the last one here made a loss, poor weather didn't help, neither did taking matches to Gloucester, Twickenham, and the Millenium, which was only open on the lower 2 tiers (I was there).

Even though it was billed as a sell-out there seemed to be a LOT of empty seats when the BBC did low level shots, also after the result was decieded there seemed to be a lot of supporters who have left the stadium. Would you leave a Pantomime if you knew Cinderella was going to get the Glass slipper? Would you leave the Cinema if you knew the ending of Alien? You have paid a lot of money to watch 65 mins of rugby? Stay to the end, watch the presentation, Cheer the losers, then go home if you don't support the winners.

Sounds like time for Workington & Whitehaven to bury the hatchet and merge (yes I hate that word too ) and become West Cumbria. I still don't see a SL license though. Alex Murphy in RLW said he hated playing at Whitehaven as the changing rooms were outside the grond and he would have to pass the crowd who would have digs at him on the way on/off the pitch. Sounds like a good place to base WCRLFC then.

London RL will not die. RL in London has been around for longer than Fulham RL/London Crusaders/Broncos/Harlequins RL. There is, and has been since the 1960's a thriving amatuer RL in London and the Home counties, when I played for Ealing we had to play games as far apart as Swindon, Felixstowe, Cambridge, and Bognor Regis, but the game is alive and doing well in the capital. And lets not forget the great work Hector McNeil is doing/has done at the London Skolars, and all the conference clubs in the South East, Hemel etc. Part of the problem London Superleague has is that most grounds are either expensive to use, or innaccesable to the average fan, I have mentioned elsewhere about the travelling times to get to grounds that they have used, one of the other factors is that they never stay put long enough. Fans in Charlton & SE London might have started to enjoy RL, but the move to Brentford lost them, the same with North London fans when they played at Barnet Copthall, or Crystal Palace. Get your A-Z of London out and estimate how long it would take to travel between these sites. Try www.tfl.gov.uk and enter the details in Travel Planner. The route changes, parking restrictions, track works etc., soon put people off. There IS a usable stadium in Wembley, actually, near Wembley. Wasps Ground.

Not quite 15000, but 25000 would still look empty, play the final at Man City, Semis at Bolton's Reebok & KC Stadium, England Matches at Saints, Salford (If they finish building both by then) and Headingley, New Zealand v Australia at Loftus Road (always packed during 4 Nations), Other Group A games at Doncaster, and Warrington, other pool games at Halton CS, Leigh SV, Hull KR, Rodney Parade, Tolouse, Perpignan, (avoid Paris, bad idea) Brewery Field or Parc Y Scarlets Llanelli, Dublin (not Lansdowne or Croake Park) and Belfast, & Edinburgh OR Glasgow (but not when Hearts/Hibs & Rangers/Celtic at home).

John Drake has a hot-line to the refs supremo, maybe he could ask him to have a look at our messages. Send off anyone who abuses refs, Touch Judges, 4th officials, warn someone who swears at them once, then sin-bin them. If it's live TV maybe Sky/BBC should introduce a 15 second delay so they can shut down the sound if someone uses foul or abusive language. I remember watching a live broadcast from the NRL GF, and a former player (Matty Johns?) was interviewing the winning players live on TV (c9) and all he got was "That was F***ing great, we F***ing f***ed them over", from one player, he looked at the camera and went back to the studio while he went off and found another player, gave him a warning they were live on TV and the player involved still used the "F" word. It's a mans game but treat the ref with respect, otherwise it will look as silly as wendyball

The Barton stadium is not initially going to be 20,000 seats, it's going to have 3 phases of construction, 12000 seater with training and playing facilities, phase 2 will increase capacity to 15000, and phase 3 will increase it to 20000 if needed. So it looks like 12000 will be enough then. Sorry, forgot to add the link.. http://menmedia.co.uk/salfordadvertiser/ne...m_gets_go_ahead
