Is there a version where Wire’s fans get ###### and kick off when they go to Perpignan?

At the risk of sounding ignorant, as I don’t play computer games, is this an app that you can get on a phone or do you need a PC / console? The trailers make it look pretty good.

The game’s organisers still know how many teams will be in its flagship competition next year, what chance does League one have.

Are you from Workington? If so which of the two clubs has the bigger presence in town, if that makes sense?

A much reduced capacity from the original plan, probably sensible given the size of Workington (pop 25k).

I like the green and black stripes and the red compliments it nicely.

Barrow to Workington is a 1hr 45 minute drive, merging them would be as sensible as merging Widnes and York, which takes the same time. Of the three though yes Barrow would seem to have the most potential to get to SL if an investor with more money then sense came along.

Around 2,000 was the figure quoted on here by a York fan recently. Getting that to 5k straight away seems like a big ask, particularly considering York City only averaged 6k in their best season in a long time, but good luck to them.

I assume the RFL would invite applications again, like they did last year, rather than contacting clubs directly.

Only four of the ten championship and league one games over the weekend had announced attendances - well done to Barrow, Hunslet, Fax and Swinton for doing something that all clubs should do. 1,863 for Barrow v Batley is decent.

It says they’re preparing their bid, if that’s the case they won’t be in a position to share a business plan yet.

Jokes aside, I hope this is true and that it’s a serious bid.

Imagine if English rugby league did that, we’d have two teams, Leeds and Wigan.

It looked superb on tv, not one for the seat counters.

The season is looking wide open now, very entertaining.

If I’m proven wrong I’ll be as delighted as anyone

Where did you hear that? If it’s true then shame on SL, all clubs should receive equitable funding.

Of course Hull KR were bigger than Oldham when they ‘started their journey’ , and so were Leigh. Neither of them were ever playing out of town at a non league football ground in front of 300 people. I would absolutely love it if Oldham, or any club, did what those two teams have done but they’re not starting from the same position or anywhere near it.

It also doesn’t make sense to compare an NFL team who have 80k sell outs every week to an English rugby league team.

Thats 32 years ago, Oldham have lost a generation of fans, like Mike Ford said no kids in Oldham even knew they had a rugby league team, I doubt the same could be said of Leigh or Hull.

Heerenveen’s average attendance is (or certainly was not long ago) bigger than the population of Heerenveen also.

No, but neither does Pontefract.

Absolutely good luck to them, but with all due respect to Oldham both Leigh and HKR are bigger clubs than Oldham, who two years ago were playing in front of one man and his dog. The idea that they’d average 7k in super league is absurd.

This can’t be right, I thought all other SL clubs took huge following to all their away games?
