You may!
I have worked with some of those behind the club on another Rugby League-related project in Cornwall. I can attest to their determination to make this succeed, and confirm that it is in very safe hands.
Whatever little snippets of up-to-date information I have is not for me to report. There is, as I understand it, a lot of dotting i's and crossing t's going on, and it is only right that those doing the dotting and crossing spread the news when ready.
My personal involvement has nothing to do with the administration of Cornwall RLFC (it is 'passionate and peripheral', for want of better terms!)
What is your occupation? Marketing? Call center? What work did you perform behind the scenes?

Player trials are due to take place in December so will be interesting to see what comes out of that. Hopefully there’s a lot of work going on behind the scenes regarding recruitment and announcements imminent as lots of players are getting tied up
We don’t trial anymore. You scout.

The thought that lads can just turn up for trials and then play against seasoned professionals in League 1 is laughable. They might find a few players, not a whole squad.
Even locals who have played to a good standard in rugby Union will struggle. This is all coming across very naive and rushed.
Yes the old chestnut.. We can play League cos we have played Union..

2 out of 10, come on, you need to do much better!
Maybe they will pay Premier Sports to show it. Oh wait a minute that won’t happen now.

What's the odds they take a game on the road to say....Toronto - one 8000 gate over there would pay for their season.....
Not sure how you come to that conclusion. Who pays the travel expenses? A split gate so not 8k.

Yeah, like West Wales, or Skolars, or Toronto, or anywhere outside M62
He does have a point. Newcastle seem to be going in the right direction but failed as Gateshead. Without serious investment the future looks bleak outside the M62.

Would hope that this means there will be a similar deal for SL ticket holders too, at some point.
The Black Friday deal is open to all. Get it now, if not your loss.

And a bit of a pisser for those Championship fans who have just taken up the £80 season ticket offer.
It is and it isn’t. Premier Sports supporting their business not just RL.

Worked for me.
The only odd bit is that above the credit card box you have to enter the code and whilst is says the code is applied, there is nothing to show the usual annual amount (£129) less the discount. You just have to hit pay and assume it is deducted.
So there is a bit of faith involved there.
But it went through and £60 on my CC.
They are right there is no option to select RL on the list of sports when you sign up - but all good.
Never has been an option to select RL.

I'm not sure why so many RL clubs always seem so keen to ditch their traditional colours and style of kit. A kit should be part of the brand and who they are but too many clubs just toss that aside for a cheap tacky jersey hoping to make a quick buck.
Probably the same reason you change your avvy.

Let's see how it all pans out eh?
You can see, and let me know.

I’m more bothered about the fact that Salford have been allowed to operate at this ‘elite level’ without running an academy. If this move allows them to consolidate themselves financially through increased revenues on match days etc and invest in an academy then that’s a massive plus.
Wasn’t selected clubs given the go head for academies?

The first line of the OP states "Give Cornwall a chance".......... maybe not
Have they got a squad? I’m not being negative but can’t really comment if they have a chance or not without players.

Surely it is only in the third tier semi-professional Rugby League that somebody can come along, willing to spend their own money to bring the sport to a place where there are not a dozen or more clubs already scrambling around to attract the same customers only to be told it can't be done and anyway we don't want you breaking into our private little world because you are too faraway.
Of course it may flop just like a few others in the past and League One clubs will have to fork out a few extra pounds to travel to Cornwall (they wont have to travel twice ALLTHE WAY up to Cumbria next season. but they are not about to raid the diminishing player pool (at least not by much) so let's give it a go and give Perez and Co a chance. If all the doom merchants get their way and it does fail in the end it is hardly going to be earth shattering - just confirmation that the game is for North of England and Southern France and that the elite (currently called Super League) is nothing more than The Trans-Pennine and District League.(plus French guests).
What do you mean by their own money? I stopped reading after that. Not being ignorant.

I'd prefer the offer to be for SL ST holders
Lower class SL fans must have more money.

Given their involvement with TWP and then trying to put an Ottawa team together before Covid (and SL’s parochial clubs) put a stop to it I think they know what it takes to put a competitive L1 team together.
We are talking L1. No SBW’s required. All suffered from COVID not only what falls within your interest.

Ah. It all started when sky bought the game …..
It started from who they invested in. Some of the muppets remain. With the amount of personal investment from some chairman makes the likes of that comment comical.

It is definitely to get the stadium built. Worry would be once It has been built they dont need you but if cornwall are knocking on door of SL in 4 years could have legs.
They are starting off part time. SL won’t happen in 4 years. The current structure will change when the TV funding is renewed in 2024. Where does that leave them? I nor you know.
