The Masked Poster Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Didn’t Bradford Bulls get involved with Wakefield RU? It seems odd in retrospect but I’m sure it was a thing once but obviously didn’t end well. It’s more common on the continent anyway with Real Madrid, Barcelona basketball etc, which seem pretty big. Well, that is when I’ve seen them on TV whilst abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was talk of player sharing at the onset but only Paul Sykes actually went across, for one game. This world was never meant for one as beautiful as me.

The bought the Kingston club, won the BBL Playoffs, then the new Rangers owner got rid and they went back to SW London. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NERugbyDad Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Back in the mid 90's Sir John Hall, then Newcastle United owner, tried to create a Newcastle sporting club a bit like what exists at Barcelona but it all fell apart after a handful of years. At its height he owned Newcastle United, Newcastle Falcons RU (formerly Newcastle/Gosforth), Newcastle Cobras Ice hockey club (formerly Durham Wasps) and Newcastle Eagles basketball. Unfortunately the dream was all falling apart before Gateshead Thunders year in super league otherwise he may have swooped in and bought them and the merger with Hull might never have happened. Another sliding doors moment there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan McKay (of Duncan & Duncan fame) is actually a keen RL fan. I bumped in to him at an Edinburgh derby a couple of years ago and had a quick chat about RL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
