I heard Trinity Tigovers had been suggested

But that defeats the object having teams in who struggle to get 10k in never mind the 15-20k averages of the new dawn

Won’t be two Hull clubs or Warrington/Saints. Dublin London and Nottingham will be in but Cats won’t be if it’s 2 French clubs on population

What are these big crowds at said clubs witnessed by folk 50 and under? Take a look around these clubs Batley is mainly OAPs who bring the grandkids as it probably is at Swinton Dewsbury etc and was at Leigh also. Decades outside the top flight kills the fan base and since 2 divisions and especially SL with Sky exposure that’s what’s happened. Ambitious clubs will throw money at it to break the cycle those not able to, work on damage limitation. Huddersfield have a core of about 3000 fans, how many would be there in the Champ is questionable. Reality is a far better word than moral supremacy, changing that reality is a process few can afford, how do we encourage those without throwing out what we have??

Ashes Squad Predictions
sweaty craiq replied to hunsletgreenandgold's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
We have to size up to the Aus middles and Lees is not big enough. Harvard Oledski Thompson Byrne mcMeekin spring to mind but this is the area of most concern imo. Back row looks good as do three quarters and halves must have Lewis in them on form. What I would give to have Hill and Burgess’s 30 years old again -
August makes or breaks Rhinos season imo

Leigh are yet to click and don’t have the spine right so far. Liu does huge graft but he is too slow when the ball goes through his hands, and without Moylan we don’t have that class next to Lam. We need to be playing Ipape at first receiver whilst we search for a 6/13. We missed Halton badly also for his attacking lines and graft. We will fall away during the next couple of months but finish well, if we make the play offs I will be happy.

Salford financial issues(again…)

I will second that, its our port of call when playing Salford away - good beer, good people and free parking far enough away to get away -

If that is a pitch for a discount which tent do you want it on -

RFL need to smoke them out, cover payroll with caveats secured on PG's with charges on private assets as collateral. Lets see how keen they are when their home is on the line. -
Wembley is plastic, the craic has gone and it’s bloody expensive. Don’t get me wrong once inside it’s brilliant for beer and food etc but it’s an expensive day when neutrals will have spent a few bob on and prioritised the ashes as this years must do
