markleeds Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Someone at the RFL need to learn about systems like Eventbrite or even WordPress to build sub sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Country Eagle Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Perhaps you could ask him why he went against the wishes of both Huddersfield and Sheffield fans by pushing on with the famous merger.

WCE jogs onto a Rimmer thread, now who would've thought that A lot of Yorkshiremen believe that when God created the world, he made it with perfect balance. He balanced the hot areas with the cold areas. the dry areas with the wet areas. And, in creating Yorkshire, he created the most glorious place on earth - full of majestic beauty and sporting giants.........and for balance he created....... Lancashire.

Pretty good performance from Hudds last night. Shame they crumbled a bit in the last 20 - was hoping they could pull off a shock.

Cliff Spracklen Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Perhaps you could ask him why he went against the wishes of both Huddersfield and Sheffield fans by pushing on with the famous merger. The merger period was a very bleak period for fans. In all 5 clubs were affected by the process, Hull and Huddersfield being beneficiaries, but the other 3 effectively losing their identity, nay existence. Fortunately the 3 clubs managed to be reformed. But then fans were a nuisance as far as some of our "leaders" were concerned. Fortunately the RFL now has a more positive view as its current support for Supporters Direct shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
