While I’d love to see a strong Toulouse in SL it would ruin the integrity of the competition if they were exempt from relegation. Them having to pay others’ travel costs was appalling though.

It’s true tbf.

Not even the month, it’s incredible.

Agreed, I’ll be dragging six or seven pals from Norfolk to the game at Headingley, with the carrot of a night out in Leeds, but I’m not expecting the ground to be full or much of a spectacle. That said they all really enjoyed the NZ v Fiji WC QF in Hull, even though the weather was awful and there were about 8,000 in the ground.

Thanks for sharing that. I never knew Batley once played in Red and White hoops.

Rapid. Incidentally I assume you have to pay to watch Millom, in which case it’s a shame how many people are stood on the pavement watching over the wall.

Trouble is there’s nobody to start, run or fund them.

Has the quarterly attendance even been announced yet?

Tbf it’s not just Whitehaven, while I accept SL clubs are under no obligation to help anyone but themselves, if they do nothing to help the semi pro divisions or community game it won’t help super league in the long run.

I know, but unless you’re aware of this website the place you’d look is the Whitehaven online shop, where you’d expect there to at least be a link to the kit sale site.

If all clubs in a bad way financially stepped aside we’d end up with about five teams in all divisions.

That good to know. Shame it’s not for sale at their own online shop though, or at least a link to the place you can buy it.

Are you a Workington fan by any chance?

Rather than give some cash I would have bought a jersey to help them out, but sadly other than a tie and windcheater they seem to have nothing for sale https://www.whitehavenrlstore.co.uk

Cup final surely.

Not sure this season. I was referring to Elite 1 and 2 though.

Great, must be some positive stuff going on there.

France as well, where the game seems to be contracting, such a shame.

Wakey, the bottom team often has a short run of form where people think they’ll stay up, and then revert to type.

And loads of other people, which is why there are countless websites, forum threads etc devoted to attendances, they are openly published alongside match reports in many publications, and the crowd reacts when it’s announced at a match.

Newspapers can be online, stop trying to be clever.

I wouldn’t, loads of people are interested in attendances, it’s why newspapers publish them.

No idea, but it’s important to a lot of people.

According to Keighley’s ground safety officer, match reports have to include the attendance. I can’t confirm if that’s true or not but I’ve got no reason to think he’s lying, in which case the I formation is available but not made available to the public. I find that strange, like more and more clubs have something to hide.

Evidently the clubs do provide it though.
