Again I can't confirm this, but SRD have hit another milestone in their efforts and it seems to be going quite well for them. Goes to show you never can tell!

Just this once Click Yes I am very cynical but mostly the people I'm mistrustful of have not only earned it but wear it like a badge of honour. The benefits is as much a red herring as it is a convincing motif I'm afraid; and Who needs workers that need to eat, sleep and pee, if it's cheaper it will replace anything that isn't. Why on earth would you want me to define poor ? I can't imagine you have trouble recognising when it happens or who it's happening to when it overtakes them. Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut

All I can say FTV is you must love standing out like a sore thumb! SRD were one of the few I've seen to far to put the news that Physical Disability is on at the magic Weekend once again. And their Arise vid shows inclusivity and fanbase is at the heart of all this. But for some good news is not news. https://deviltalk.co.uk/thread/3173/salford-devils-community-share-scheme?page=1 As I keep saying hear it from SRD fans themselves before you speak for them.

And passed confirmed on the website https://salfordreddevils.net/salford-red-devils-surpass-100000-in-reds-rise-together-campaign/

In actual fact this is only a small step from what the legacy media have been up to for years. The purpose of AI is that it's supposed to replace poor peoples' jobs or poor people altogether and anything else is icing on the cake.

"for the Good Guys to beat the Bad Guys." Which, of course, is the real reason they're called fantasy.

Given all this data and the crowd v France it would be easy to argue: RL fans don't want or like international RL.

Well, thank goodness for that, I thought they'd never leave! Apparently close to 100K, who knew!

My wife persuaded me to go through a few old TV stuff among which was the West Wing. It's fascinating and seems like it doesn't belong to the world we now live in except maybe for echoes in quotes like " I'm sick of years and years of having to choose between the lesser of who cares!" Art mirrors UK life in the 21st century.

Often haggis the problem is not what people know but what's left out, SRD could well be on the way out and if so they won't be the last and maybe not the first.

And Me!

Now you're all just showing off, you monkeys!

And yet another debate degenerates into an us and them argument that ends up blaming them. This is what made RL Great everyone the ability to hold internecine battles and wars to no purpose and less outcome.

I don't know how you've managed to meet each other and was about to suggest a TRLers Tshirt to help sort this out but it seems only two of us need one.

Just read : A Party with Socialists in It: A History of the Labour Left & Left for Dead?: The Strange Death and Rebirth of the Labour Party Very much history mixed with fiction for the most part, both intriguing but altogether a story that exists in that twilight zone between yesterday's non-news items and extinction. The dismantling of the idea of Labour unity as an entity is less interesting than a book about cake mixes and batter recipes when all's said and done.

"You just need another shot of rock and roll Just need another shot of rock and roll"

Essentially it's only what clubs do with things like Welsh connections and African ones so it's hardly a bridge too far. Of course had we had free movement this would be alot less challenging but that's history and it's all a case of : Are we serious about this, now?

It is noteworthy that the argument has often been "dead rubbers" and "meaningless fixtures" yet barely mentioned when it comes to IMG and a lack of P&R. One thing I recall about past fixtures was that lower clubs actually won trophies and I do wonder whether or not it was due to the amount of competitions we had that increased their chances. And maybe with so many comps when you lost in one you knew there'd be another opportunity along in a moment! Of course going upwards by the quality of your organisation is very seductive and appealing even so.

Great stuff that BL. I'm afraid there's too much prejudice and assertive feelings over this kind of issue to let solutions work, especially good ones.

Apparently SRD share intitiative is making an appearance of BBC radio manc tonight they're certainly getting the word out there! I think this link will work for hearing what's said, for anyone interested https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0fg5jvn

Yes I know, but far more often he was cast as something else ....

At first I was amazed this thread still had legs but then I realised you working on your co-writing of 13 Mays and Soho Memoirs! I can't wait for this to be published. Though I doubt John Thaw although he seemed to be cast as everything at one time would ever be cast as a Northerner.
