  1. Just read the Telegraph obituary posted here, Widnes legend, they should rename the ground Laughton Park
  2. As Swinton play in Sale which is in Trafford Borough, maybe they could rebrand accordingly?
  3. scratch them and award everyone an 82 nil victory
  4. I expect Salford to be a bit more competitive when they are able to pay their first team
  5. You really are confused, but so am I. As far as I understand Batley are more like Swinton but they own their own ground
  6. Caldy RUFC (Level 3 - National League 1 currently in 4th place) and Wirral RUFC (Level 5 - North Premier) are both semi-professional and operate at a higher level than Waterloo who are currently Level 6 - North 1 West, so they tend to pick up the best local RU talent from either side of the Mersey at the moment. The demand seems to be well served with the clubs in existence at the moment and I think it would be tough for Rugby League to try and grow in this small market. Back on topic, it's good to see RL clubs developing facilities as this is one area that the Union clubs have an advantage.
  7. Travellers Rest ARLFC? Seem to remember a team or similar named team from the National Cup in the 80's&90's but based in Widnes was never sure where they were from? Did they actually exist and where are / were they from - Wakefield area?
  8. things we ate in the North could be a sub-thread
  9. Does it come with a free toilet roll holder?
  10. At least there's a bit of variety here, Champions League bores me to death. Was disappointed by Arsenal's late winner last night and we'll probably end up with a final of usual suspects e.g. United v Arsenal
  11. Any artists impressions available yet to view?
  12. So he could go and watch Derby County?
  13. so is that what the cowboys used to drink? You see them gulping it down in the old westerns, always thought they must be hard core
  14. Just checked out your club crest - is that a cannabis leaf?
  15. I would regionalise from the old division 4 downwards with 20 team divisions. Its just crazy that clubs like Stockport have to cram in 46 games in a season with trips to Torquay (their 1st game last week), Bromley Dover, Maidenhead etc etc. Below that the National League North and South could be split in 3 or even 4 divisions of 20 teams for more local derbies and if you're happy were you are playing, even if you win the league you don't need to move up to the next Tier
  16. couldn't you just play in the Kent league anyway and leave the pyramid for those clubs who want to be part of that?
  17. I thought they received an advance of sky moneys to help them through financial difficulties and it was this that was subsequently with-held. So they got the same money as every one else but just at different times I am remembering incorrectly?
  18. This figure of 3328 (in an outdated facility) would probably represent nearly a 100% improvement in attendances for leigh compared to their 2013 CC average (don't have exact figure at my finger-tips) so I am sure they would be pleased if they got that again or even topped it
  19. surprised this story is generating so much interest
