YML

[RugbyLad]

Any news or rumours of who’s joining and who’s leaving ?

[Defender1]

Rumour has it Some clubs in the YML can vote on

Start March finish season in July no games August

New Season to Start September till end November guaranteed 10 games plus play offs nobody is obliged to enter

What have we been doing for the last five years I said from Day 1 Start September till middle of December have a break Start March to June

Absolute Joke if this happens the game has been split for what? Are the RFL only doing this to mop up the few teams playing Winter with the Pennine and Hull

Please correct me if this is wrong

I really don’t believe you have said that?

[Defender1]

This was suggested before the full switch if this had not worked a full summer season may have been the only option. 

The RFL have ignored a lot of the grass roots, manipulated the truth and ignored by their silence the issues the game has, the whole debacle has split leagues, clubs and Yorkshire and Lancashire this cannot be sustained by a minority sport.

We have had hundreds if not thousands walk away from the game, revenue has decreased we now appear to be virtually going back to where we started, if you think that is the RFL listening well so be it we are all entitled to our opinion, unless you work for the RFL

No he is saying that looks like the winter season give of take a week, maybe they have realised summer isn't working

[Marauder]

Wonder if the RFL will hand it over to BARLA to run, lol

[Defender1]

IMO I don’t think the RFL will be happy until they have control of all the game as I said will they take all the teams from the Pennine and Hull

[Marauder]

They do control it all now, Insurance via RFL, registration of players via RFL, Coaching courses via RFL,  League websites via RFL I'm not sure about anything else.

Yes but the RFL only seem interested in the revenue don’t forget at one point in time they didn’t want anything to do with the amateur game once sport England started funding they wanted to be involved notice how that funding has also declined due to their incompetence but people like Woods get a wage not relavant to his job in a minority sport

That explains why the amateur game is in such a mess - That old saying springs to mind, "Never let an officer loose with a map"

BARLA was supposed to receive something like £150,000 a year to run the amateur game, that soon went AWOL

At one time yes... the UK also allowed slavery but times change.

 

Im no Nigel fan, but dont you think a £200k salary is proportionate to a £24m turnover business?

The statement was the Sports England funding has reduced since the governing body took charge and under Woods guidance carried on reducing yet his wage and pension has carried on rising

it would be interesting how much the CEO of women’s netball receives, they have a professional league and more participants with an international game similar to ours

Not delivering the goods, Even you and I could organise a jolly here and there even if we travelled in a hired mini bus, grant we'd have to take turns in driving it.
