JMB 114 Report post Posted January 21 Apparently AM struggling with funding to televise the games, you would think the rfl would jump on board to help spread the word of our great game, 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Impartial Observer 80 Report post Posted January 22 The RFL do not run the NCL, maybe the NCL should stump up some money with all the money they have in the bank Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thepimp007 223 Report post Posted January 22 AGM was last night and they said they were still in discussions and Alex Simmons was talking to freesports. They said he was hoping at minimum to get the play offs and grand final on there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neutralfan 56 Report post Posted January 22 When did the RFL stop running the NCL ?I thought they ran everything bar the Hull and Pennine leagues? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Impartial Observer 80 Report post Posted January 22 The RFL have never run the NCL as far as I am aware, . They do not run yorkshire juniors or the junior leagues in the NW and a league in Cumbria 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Smeaton 12 Report post Posted January 22 I may be wrong, but I thought the RFL was in charge after the switch to summer rugby. All results are sent to them and if you are appealing against a suspension don’t they deal with it. Whereas in the past it was BARLA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDuke 191 Report post Posted January 22 Pretty certain it’s a members league, the exposure was good but teams below the top 2 leagues wouldn’t get any games on so i doubt they’d be keen on any funding from the NCL to pay for TV to show the games Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chisholm 48 Report post Posted January 23 In regards to funding, is it true that the NCL travel grant has been withdrawn by the RFL ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Smeaton 12 Report post Posted January 23 If this is true, I can see a few more clubs withdrawing from the league due to the high cost of coach travel. I noticed last year that a few clubs traveled by cars to our venue and I’m not talking about local derbies. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure where that’s up to, however the NCL secured the Rhino/Arnold Clarke sponsorship deal to mitigate this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure how much the clubs depend on the travel grant, for us it covered the cost of one coach to a match in the north west, better than nothing though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
