Damien Posted November 21, 2021 Posted November 21, 2021 NARL announced a few days ago that they were making an announcement about their future plans on Monday. I did think that New York were a key player with the whole NARL setup so this doesn't seem to bode well.
RigbyLuger Posted November 21, 2021 Posted November 21, 2021 Was it ever anything other than merchandise sales? No coach appointed, no finance behind it.

You may be confusing the New York City operation with the NY Freedom, the first never really existed other than as an online shop whilst the Freedom was / is a real entity with a ground, coach and a growing squad which would have been ready to go if the dodgy NARL cash hadn't suddenly vanished overnight. The Freedom pulling out of the NARL indicates they are probably going to align themselves with the USARL, who are working with the IRL to try and get themselves properly organised for next year.

You are right.

Mr Frisky Posted November 21, 2021 Posted November 21, 2021 Is the World Cup in the US still going ahead?
Eddie Posted November 21, 2021 Posted November 21, 2021 26 minutes ago, Mr Frisky said: Is the World Cup in the US still going ahead? No that was pulled years ago when the investor withdrew. France want it now.
Whippet13 Posted November 21, 2021 Posted November 21, 2021 20 minutes ago, Mr Frisky said: Is the World Cup in the US still going ahead? It is only the preferred option and no decisions have been made, I think the IRL will want to get France 2025 confirmed and the organisational work well underway before looking at getting the 2029 event agreed. Doubt it'll be decided upon for a year or two and they will also want to know how the US game is developing, that's probably part of the reason the IRL are currently working with the USARL. I think the NRLs growing interest in the US sports betting market might actually make the USA a more likely candidate for 2029 as they will see potential benefit in it for themselves.

Omott91 Posted November 21, 2021 Posted November 21, 2021 Why can't they all come under ome banner and grow the game together
Wellsy4HullFC Posted November 21, 2021 Author Posted November 21, 2021 45 minutes ago, Omott91 said: Why can't they all come under ome banner and grow the game together I'm guessing because Toronto were due to be a big part of this and they're not from the USA, so playing under the USARL banner would be counter productive you what they're hoping to achieve in Canada. As long as they're the body got the professional game on that continent, working with the USARL and CRL, I don't see a great issue with it.

Guest Posted November 22, 2021 Posted November 22, 2021 I heard a lack of away fans was the issue. They will play in a league with Newark and Long Island. No sure yet where the museum will be.

Each want their own way, their own agendas, their own powers, so they go separate ways, it's how RL came to be and more recently the darts splt. We will see these splits, arguments civil wars for ever as humans will never change, IMO.

I do believe they should merge all their assets which in this case is viable/ish teams. Take them at the top to discuss and compromise, each side may have to swallow some pride, but it would be for the greater good of the sport in North America

Create competition, it won’t create itself.
