None of your concerns about this have the good of the game at mind, you just want to see your club promoted and you see it slipping away after good old degsy piled a load more cash in. There`s 25 clubs that this impacts on, there`s 3 maybe 4 that can survive without their usual match day income and you are fortunate that your club is one of them, and that`s all down to one man but you couldnt care less if those other "Pub teams" go under. More to the point, if Degsy walks under a bus tomorrow then Leigh will suddenly become one of the so-called 'pub teams'. Leigh are just fortunate that one of their fans happens to have done well in business, and doesn't mind throwing his money at the club. Any one of the so-called 'pub team's would immediately be elevated to the level of Leigh should one of their fans hit the lottery jackpot this weekend.

Erm actually, not mine if you don't mind. I wouldn't want anyone to think there is a blanket commitment from people on this forum to throwing money away. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Just your own club" you say, off course and just as the next TV deal comes along the and monies are withdrawn below SL you will have to add another 12 clubs into your hate catalogue dkw, you can then accuse them of not caring either. Their ain't that many clubs who can survive without the additional funding that the TV money gives them without it they will suffer the indignation of closing the gates for good be it in SL, Championship or Div 1, was Mr Beaumont speculating on getting into SL before this present TV contract concludes, I guess he was, was it his gamble on speculating to accumulate, I guess it was, will he still be around if funding is stopped and P&R is abolished, I guess he won't, could this season have been the last chance saloon for promotion to SL I honestly expect it will be unless Mr Rimmer grows a big pair of the dangly bits and insists it is maintained. This situation the game is in at the moment is highlighting just what a lot of people of been saying for a long time of just how a lot of clubs are in a financial precarious position, even the owners of two of our biggest clubs in Hull and Wigan have taken to penning letters requesting fans to donate their season ticket costs, Salford, Wakefield and HKR are crying poverty and nearly everyone of the other 26 clubs below SL will be fortunate to suvive the next 18 months if another wave of CV-19 hits. Being a fan of club outside of SL dkw you must be very concerned for the future I know I am, would I want to be back in SL and seeing 6,500 (average in '17) fans in the LSV again, to right I would, it is not a case of wanting to carry on and stuff the rest, if a number of clubs want to play on and try to acheive the ultimate prize of promotion what are they doing that will affect those clubs who don't want to play and are allowed to take that action without penalties for fear of not being able to meet their financial needs and go out of buisness because of it, in that scenario who is the victim of the circumstance, those who don't want to play or those who do who will not be affecting them in anyway at all?

Of course that is the situation Paul, I consider myself and other Leigh fans to be fortunate that "one of our own" who has made good wants to financially support his town team, I have said this many times there are a lot of people who say "if I had the money I would put it into my local team" Mr Beaumont said that and he has done it, don't chastice the Leigh club because of it, I wish every club could have the local guy made good who wants to back his team, how is he any different from a Leneghan, McManus or Moran in that respect?

You know what Harry (Broncos fan here) this is why i loved the Super 8,s it was brilliant we got to play 7 matches v SL sides if we finished in the Top 4 with a possibility of a SL place . Even if we didn't make it who cared we had the chance of another go the following season it just kept the interest going right until the end.

Not really - a five team comp is even worse than a six team comp. You're never going to get the RFL to agree to that. Presumably you want Newcastle to go up on the basis of finishing first in a field of one. "We'll sell you a seat .... but you'll only need the edge of it!"

I don’t feel comfortable with a short-form Championship with promotion and a side relegated from Super League after going through 22 games in 14 weeks. So its been announced that SL will be cut to 22 games this season with each club playing every other club twice just 15 games to play now, no need now to feel uncomfortable Hela, what could be better to sort out the worst team to relegate no loopy fixtures just an honest to goodness round robin of games, and also games are to played at a single venue so lots of clubs will not be playing at home as you singled out Toronto for having no home games, they couldn't play at home anyway such are travel restrictions to Canada so no excuses there.
