Sure Troy, sure. I just want to return to this. I don't support a pro team but do want to watch England. And with all due respect to SL, England is what gets us eyeballs. Has anything at all been confirmed for 2024? It's a genuine shambles at this late stage. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure Troy, sure. There are so many things wrong with this statement, like all of it. I suppose if he keeps spouting it someone may believe it. Those people probably believe all of the previous Chairs that said exactly the same thing too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By my reckoning we have confirmation under discussion, post pre confirmed, confirmed subject to confirmation, confirmed (terms to be agreed), and finally confirmed not in stone but with a very thick pencil.

Archie Gordon Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Currently there is just one game of international RL scheduled/confirmed for 2024 - tomorrow's USA vs Canada match. What a calendar! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been saying this for years. First a Cop, then a politician and now a sports administrator. The sooner he leaves the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
