Salford's next move? -
Salford to move to Moor Lane?

I have also seen reference to Synthetic and Hybrid pitches - where do these fit into the picture? We probably need a separate 'plastic pitch' thread to discuss -
To update Cloughie, We have a good team on paper, unfortunately the game is played on plastic
-
One reason I stopped watching Widnes, aswell as them serving up garbage, was that the garbage was delivered on a plastic pitch. I know it offers other benefits to whoever owns the stadium but I like my rugby played on real mud. I am just old school I am afraid. Now my rugby fix is at grass roots level, union and league. I am non-discriminatory in my loathing of the round ball game

but obviously not a railway station

Or Man v Food ? he could probably tackle a good Sunday dinner

Newcastle Thunder announce new signings
Wanderer replied to The Daddy's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
If they win a few games at the start of the season people will be crowing on here -
A better option and more achievable I think, would be to grass over the section of M62 from Rainhill to the Rocket. Job done.

Sheffield’s Stadium - any updates?

surely they should say "Aye, that's five grand then"? -
Grand final attendance doom and gloom thread.
Wanderer replied to Dallas Mead's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
This, to me, is a bigger problem rather than the actual crowd on Saturday, which it can be argued is low for understandable reasons. If people, and family groups in particular stop attending because of the anti-social behaviour they have to deal with, where does this leave the sport and trying to sell these show-case events? Basically it appears the grand final is an excuse to get on the ale / gin / whatever else just after breakfast, magic weekend is an opportunity to do the same the whole weekend and nobody can really be bothered with the Challenge Cup anymore. The thing that stands out that I read in these threads is die-hard fans saying never again! This is a problem... -

Grand final attendance doom and gloom thread.
Wanderer replied to Dallas Mead's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Leaving Catalans to one side for a moment, are Saints likely to muster much of a crowd? Obviously they have their stalwart supporters and hardcore but always feels it is limited even for a final, maybe 8000-12000 max on a good day -

Imagine if both teams were from France, as pointed out above. maybe an alternating neutral venue is the way to go here as per the Champions League. This would negate the comparison as all the variables would have changed -

Didn't the old Wembley have a reduced capacity for the Challenge Cup Final (98,000) compared to the FA Cup Final (100,000) because rugby league supporters eat more pies? -

I was wondering where this thread was hiding -
Are you worried about attendances?
Wanderer replied to Tommygilf's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
somewhere in the region of 700-800 which is a good turn out -

Why not? Is there an un-witten rule somewhere? -
Derek Beaumont's Programme Notes
Wanderer replied to Chris22's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Amazing. I didn't think clubs were producing programmes any more -
Just having a bit of a sort out and have a few hundred Widnes programmes available, home & aways including most clubs from 1975-1992. I am trying to catalogue them but if you want any particular club / match programme PM me and if I have it it's yours FOC! Cheers
