Oliver Clothesoff Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I’ve seen a few football teams in the past celebrate such a milestone and so, I was wondering if there were any plans afoot for the game of Rugby League celebrating this milestone?

Chris22 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 125 years of rugby league and our first test series against the Aussies in 17 years. Bring it on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Well it's FORTY years today that I saw my first RL game, Widnes v Castleford 30-15. But not even a text from the RFL!! Celebrated with maltesers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastLondonMike Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 "125 years since Rugby turned professional" - that should be the CTA.

Oliver Clothesoff Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 Would like to see all member clubs having a patch on their shirt for 2020 with golden patches for the original member clubs, for a start. 125 years could easily be The RFL’s marketing and advertising tool. 125 years of emotion, explosiveness, teamwork, battle etc. Would be a shame to see the Birthday not marked properly by clubs and organisations alike.

Shaggy Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Will any commemoration be scuppered by the SL/RFL divide? Do not fear; only BELIEVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RP London Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 A round of games billed as the originals vs the upstarts... (or something)... its not easy as there are 7 out of the 12 teams as original teams but I am sure they could work something out.. ie 2 originals playing each other but its a symbolic match (a first round of 1895 match) etc... in heritage shirts from whenever the clubs were formed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerjon Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Don't give them any ideas. They'll make Magic weekend an '1895 event' and have all the games on that weekend played under 1895 rules. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. (Terry Pratchett) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blind side johnny Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Maybe a special cup competition named after the founding year? Play the final in the evening at Wembley, a couple of hours after the CC Final. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

Man of Kent Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 The new RFL chairman mentioned the 125th anniversary in an interview with League Express. Doesn't reveal any plans but it's clearly on their radar. I'd like to see it commemorated with a heritage round (why we don't do this already completely baffles me), a non-halfassed, celebratory pre-game show at the Challenge Cup final, a retro England jersey for the Kangaroo tour (if it is England, not GB), and a 3-0 series win.
