London Skolars New Owners
PhilCarrington replied to EssexRL's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
may well be true, but he's not been in charge at the Skolars for nearly 3 years now, though he is still a major sponsor -
And out of that central distribution the clubs have to pay for a table at the awards night (whether or not they can attend), 100 tickets for the Challenge Cup final (great if they can sell them all, but the spaces in their area every year shows that most dont) and cog testing. So around they don't get to see around 20% of their distribution. No parachute payment for anyone getting relegated to L1, so any club going down has a massive drop in income.

Belle Vue trending for all the wrong reasons
PhilCarrington replied to The Daddy's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Which part of the ground should they have taken a picture of that would have looked good? The Saints twitter account regularly posts 4 pics of the ground before kick-off; not their fault so little has been spent at on basics at Belle Vue in the last 50 (60?) years. -
Skolars have a coach. Why would they get rid of him to bring back Coleman?
-
Dont they or some of the other clubs mentioned in his thread put out stories about how they were going to have lots of local players. Cornwall did and got plaudits for it. Hardly surprising that they've picked some very minor criticism for going back on that so quickly, doubt if would have been commented on if they hadn't made it part of their launch. They were very naive, surprising given the experience brought by Kelly and Perez.

120 points against London teams
PhilCarrington replied to EssexRL's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
only because they were forced to by the RLC. They were concurently North London Skolars in that comp and London Skolars in the NCL. -
West Wales Raiders - laughing stock
PhilCarrington replied to welshmagpie's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Not the only club to be struggling to find medical staff at the moment. Hardly surprising given the pressure in those people's day jobs. The RFL must have been struggling to find staff for this game as well, as there was no reserve referee appointed per the RFL's match officials' appointments page. Lucky the game was cancelled, otherwise the RFL would be needing to refer itself to it's own compliance department. Rugby League (rugby-league.com) -
London Broncos Squad 2022
PhilCarrington replied to Twickbronc's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
whole game was live on BBC online and on Radio York. Far better than a twitter feed. -
Only £40k down. Sounds like you've had less of a cut than many clubs. Colwyn Bay seems to be working so far, hope it continues to work. Good to have one Welsh club whose ground move has worked. Nearest pub had painted the Crusaders logo on it's side and that's seen on the main road into the town (not the A55) so great free advertising.

West Wales Raiders - laughing stock
PhilCarrington replied to welshmagpie's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
This is hardly news - happened two years ago and was covered in League Express -
The Cornwall RLFC Thread
PhilCarrington replied to Gav Wilson's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
London Broncos have certainly played a lot of home game far from London. Not a good advert for the idea. -
London Broncos Squad 2022

Palumbo moved from West Wales to Skolars two years ago- didn't think he'd moved back there. Yet another ex-Skolar is Rob Tuliatu -
Challenge Cup 1st & 2nd Round Draws
PhilCarrington replied to Futtocks's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Souths and Wests in the cup just over a decade ago? -
‘A £100m offer could be made next month’
PhilCarrington replied to Man of Kent's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
No Cornwall? -
Joe Mbu new Skolars coach
PhilCarrington replied to Quinskolar's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
sorry misread your post, but there are also rumours of no travel grant, so the real drop is >£50k for many clubs. -
Joe Mbu new Skolars coach
PhilCarrington replied to Quinskolar's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
50%? Cuts in central funding for League 1 clubs are over 80%. I worry about all the clubs in L1 that are facing that cut. -
Thought for a moment that the Toulouse coach was returning to London. I'll get me (car)coat.

When did these clubs miss out on central funding and why did they miss out? -
League Restructure Thread (Merged Threads)
PhilCarrington replied to Hela Wigmen's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
I've seen the Skolars' bus. It's a proper coach. Go to Hunslet this weekend and see for yourself. Martyn's idea may not be sensible, but you are coming up with the worst reason for rejecting it.
