Padge Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 ... Rival RL teams in space, just think how much publicity a local derby at the Karman Line would bring. Its only 62 miles up far less than Widnes to Hull so no moaning about how far teams have to travel.

HullWire Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Ridiculous idea. Bransons supporters would complain about the extra travel to be above the Karman line. When the games lasts longer than the 6 or 8 minutes whilst they are up there it would cause uproar. Watching from earth we would have to take into account time dilation as well as momentum for forward passes. At the play the ball - "he's not only not played it with his foot, he's played it upwards!!!!" Finally (and I apologise in advance for this), the penalty count would be horrendous as all tackles would be high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man of Kent Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 We have to expand beyond the Karman Line or we’ll always be known as just an Earthen sport for Earthen people. I propose setting up new, big planet clubs in two conferences, with the winner of each playing off in an Inter-Galactic Grand Final played at Old Trafford.

Just Browny Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I'm reluctant to add more teams without a train station to the league, but believe they are organising a shuttle service for visiting fans. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.
