Rfl stopping travel grants

[JMB]

Apparently rfl won't be able to help with travel grants next season, 

[Little no it all]

Not helped much for last few years spent  £4k a year on coachs in division 3 and when they add more teams do they think of cost to others no just pester us with emails about sponsors who we received nothing from but we have to give programming space to for free

No it isn't much but better than nothing

I guess if you do not like  the league you are in or the costs involved you should find another competition to play in. 

From what I heard from the meeting they may be a rewards grant for clubs who have the Rhino shirt deal have arnold clark on their shirts or share the sponsors messages on social media for example.

Just read on another thread that the new Southern conference clubs are going to get financial help. Don't know how much, or even if its true but that might explain why?

It's one of the carrot that swung the vote eventually but I suppose the growth in numbers was always going to hit somewhere.

Was it Woody who came up with a similar statement of "Sink or Swim" or something along those lines.

I was at a game last week when the visitors traveled over from Yorkshire in cars. One of their committee said they only use coaches for travel to Cumbria due to the cost. What happens if a car breaks down or a traffic jam on the M62?

[chisholm]

Said it many times, we are all volunteers who are involved for our enjoyment and worrying about costs is not enjoyable.. I can assure you that finance is a major issue for all clubs.and the major concern for committees. Travel costs are without doubt the major costs to all of us. Granted the sponsorship secured by the NCL has been a great help to most clubs but surely the RFL can afford to support the next level to professional rugby league. The RFU are superb in looking after all clubs at all levels we need to take a look at them for inspiration.

Car = 4 players Coach = 17 players

Gateshead Storm traveled to Hunslet Warriors last week in a 17 seater minibus and brought their own after match beer with them.
