Here is Twitters take on todays developments. There will be NO new Rugby League fans ever again because of the new structure (League freak said that, does that guy ever say anything positive about our game?) Rugby League will be bankrupt within a few years. The RFL are only in it for themselves. And sit around eating biscuits all day. It's going to be a disaster. The new structure is purely a distraction to stop people talking about clubs in financial difficulty. It is total madness and the RFL "better have a bloody good reason" Nobody gets the new structure (I doubt the majority have even read about it) Rugby League is now dead Richie Mathers thinks there should surely be change on a day when major change has been announced. It's quite disheartening looking through twitter to be honest. The full details of the restructure have yet to be announced and already alot of fans have completely written the idea off. One person even tweeted he has lost interest in Super League purely because of this decision and will only watch the NRL in future (although I suspect he is being a bit of a drama queen). But what is it about Rugby League that makes fans turn against it so often? There is barely a bit of RL news these days that isn't met with a huge amount of negetivity by fans. Personally I think it's going to be very interesting, especially seeing the top championship clubs playing against Super League clubs to fight for a place in the next seasons SL. Within those games I think there will be just as much intensity as those fighting for a place at Old Trafford. I do wonder how sponsorship will work across the leagues with them eventually coming together in a way. But I dont think there will be any trouble getting TV coverage. If anything, I think the new format will encourage multi-channel coverage.

I don't like the fact that Gentle brought over a player from a feeder club in Australia in Miller. I'm glad Pearson is going for Local talent, there must be plenty of young decent players over here without bringing in unproven Aussies.

Hull Chairman issues apology
RLDave replied to League Express's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Will he also do that for the Wembley trip? -
I suppose you're right (again lol). The internet does seem to distort things sometimes. When I woke up this morning it was a fev fan in hospital, then it came out it was actually a Fax fan.

haha I'd pay extra for that issue! (50p at the most though )

Well fair enough, but still not the best way to respond.

This is an absolute disgrace. I hope the culprits are caught pronto and dealt with strongly. I know alot of people seem to expect this from a football crowd and not from a Rugby League game but it's disgusting in any sport. I agree with what Stevo was saying (I think it was on boots n all) about fans stepping in and putting a stop to it themselves. If you see someone acting up then step in and say something. We can't let a huge police presence like last nights become a regular sight at League games. When watching the game back this afternoon I heard the Sky presenters saying the Fev fans thought Fax fans were invading the pitch when we were told to evacuate and that is why they had tried to get on the field to get at the fax fans. But the message was clearly given out over the speaker system at the HJ for our stand to make our way onto the field, so they knew full well what was going on. Ridiculous anyway, but especially when there was so many children present. It's said alot, but we don't want them picking this kind of behaviour up.

It's a shame the other half of the population can't read this since they were all wiped out by bird flu and swine flu :-(

I've just become aware of this Stanley Gene autobiography and I'm very keen to read it but I can't seem to find it anywhere on the internet. I've tried Ebay, Amazon and play and of course googled it. Does anyone know of a place that stocks the book, or does anybody have a copy lying around they wouldn't mind selling? Sounds like a great book. And on a side note, I'm very sorry that Stanleys stay at Halifax came to a sour end. I'm not sure what has happened but it's a shame a Legend like him should come to our club and it ends on a bad note. I wish Stan all the best...and maybe a return to Fax as this is all a misunderstanding? Thankyou

I think the "Blue Sox" thing was down to him

Really pleased Fax won today. Shame I couldn't get there, but hopefully they'll have it available on DVD from there shop.
