Restructure of Championship and League 1
OriginalMrC replied to Rene_Artois's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Carcassonne or another Welsh club. All the others you have listed are non-starters -
I always thought the claim that the club was self sufficient was very suspect. Based on their gates and the size of the wage bill it was obvious that directors (or director) were putting loads of money in.

Restructure of Championship and League 1
OriginalMrC replied to Rene_Artois's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
I think that is unlikely unless they have very deep pockets and a long term plan to be in Super League. Think the Super League quota of 2 foreign clubs will put them off -
Midlands Hurricanes stadium boost
OriginalMrC replied to Hopping Mad's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
I'm hoping this move will help the Hurricanes grow and attract bigger crowds. I do think playing on the training pitch will have affected crowds which were smaller than Coventry Bears attracted. A successful team longer term will be needed and loads of promotion needed to get people through the gates. -
Restructure of Championship and League 1
OriginalMrC replied to Rene_Artois's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
I think these are sensible changes. There is really not much difference between the top of league 1 and the bottom of the championship. It adds more games and will give ambitious league 1 clubs opportunities to grow revenue and have a chance of promotion. Interested to see who they think is going to be a new league 1 team. You'd have to be very rich or mad or both to want to join league 1 at the present time. -

And even if he was he won't have the money anyway -
Which club would you invest in?
OriginalMrC replied to Eddie's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Is this a Brewsters millions scenario? If so, Bradford -
Anyone know why they continue to struggle. I know they get smaller crowds than other teams but they've been upper end of the SL table and had some good cup runs in recent years and will have had decent prize money.

What Club Do You Support?
OriginalMrC replied to Mumby Magic's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Coventry Bears. Have played for them and watched them go all the way up to League 1 via NCL. Still watching them in the Midlands Premier. -

OriginalMrC replied to Coggo's topic in The General Rugby League Forum

Which game are you watching tonight?
OriginalMrC replied to Coggo's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Wigan Hudds tonight I think though will switch if any of the other two games is close -
Hold on! This wasn't the narrative being spun at all. We were told it was a financial disaster and that international RL was dead

SL USA/NRL America (Merged Threads)
OriginalMrC replied to Gomersall's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Not negative just realistic. We've been down this road many times with US RL. We were told that NARL would be bigger than superleague before finding out it was all a scam. RL in the US has a small number of amateur players who cant even agree to play under one governing body and there are currently no more than a handful of players that are of the required quality to play in a professional league. The other code tried to set up a professional league which has crashed an burned mainly due to the costs of bringing in expensive imports and poor attendances. What makes you think this will work? -

The Players Are Revolting
OriginalMrC replied to gingerjon's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Not really relevant when both games had no tackles that would potentially be a red under the new guidelines -

Championship/C1 structure
OriginalMrC replied to Blind side johnny's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Championship teams claimed they couldn't afford to travel to Cornwall so they certainly aren't going to travel to France unless someone pays for it all. Who's going to do that? As for 12/12/12 good luck with that!
