sam4731 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Just wondering how many rugby league teams have other sporting teams affiliated with them? I know that Leeds Rhinos have a netball team and Red Star have loads of others. Was just curious of any other examples. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyther_Matt Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Sporting Club St Helens didn’t exactly turn out well for St Helens Town FC. Sold their ground after being sold a dream of moving in to Knowsley Road and climbing the pyramid. They’ve now dropped out of the senior non-league system. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Sheffield Eagles had a basketball team in the 1990s. Leeds Rhinos/Leeds Tykes, obviously. Apart from that, just ground sharers with no substantial connection between the clubs. 1 1 "We'll sell you a seat .... but you'll only need the edge of it!"

Fev did get promoted to Super League this year however. SL1 for the ladies team that is.

EastLondonMike Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 There used to be a few government grants for multi sports clubs - which at a guess was the main reason for some of the past link ups, certainly at a lower level anyway. Whether those grants are still available or not could be an indicator as to why it happens less these days. Newham Dockers - Champions 2013.

R L Winger Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) I can vision into the future in Australia there will be super clubs, competing with teams in the NRL, AFL, A League & Super Rugby Competitions. Maybe one day a combined NRL & Super League competition but for that to happen flying time between Australia and England could be no more than 4 hours for it to become a reality.
