Do you think there’ll be any national competitions they’re prevented from entering because they’re too far to travel?

He's just copy pasting this stuff now. 

P.s. Well done Truro enjoy the trips to Carlisle and Hartlepool.

Probably not. Soccer is much wealthier than rugby league.

Soccer has enough clubs for regionalised competitions. As well as a more homogenous geographical spread.

You'll always be a guest and your acceptance will be rescinded at an unspecified future point regardless.

Any investor should probably avoid Rugby League altogether.

Or reclassify his investment as a donation.

The point still stands.

No point doing anything outside the heartlands. You'll be disinvited at some point.

In what way?

Open conversations about asking Catalans to leave show you’ll never be welcome. Actually telling Cornwall to not enter a national cup …

It's just true isn't it.

Even when people talk about Catalans, it's still 'our' governing body, they are invited guests, they are sponging off 'our' broadcasting money and 'we' will milk them dry when it suits.

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.

Does Perez have money? I have the impression that he is just a front man and spends other people's money which is great if you can get away with it.

The problem is, this is actually the case though. It's why governance is so important to get right. 

These things should always be done as joint ventures instead of clubs being admitted as 'guests'. 

It's never been set up correctly from day one.

Not just Catalans. It is literally every non heartlands situation.

Which is why it’s great to see NWC and Midlands as the top 2 in League One at the moment, showing that it can be done, despite all the obstacles. If the game had any strategy they’d just be two of many though.

Not just wealth then as previously suggested.

As an aside- Next season Truro could be playing Oldham Athletic who were in the first Premier League! The pyramid system,  P+R resulting in glory and desperation in equal measure.

Genuine question, which non-heartland clubs have been kicked out?

I assume the list is just every non-heartland club?

It's everyone else/Batley's fault🙄

Nothing to do with the fact he tried setting up an RL club where the sport had zero foundation, hardly any local community players to use, therefore having to pay way over the odds to convince Part Time players to play down there. and was an unsustainable business model. Lets ignore all of that and continue the nonsense "NoN HeArTlAnD ClUbS ArEn'T WeLcOmE! I mean if only they'd have been able to play in the 1895 cup last year, this would have been totally different with them battling against Wakey at wembley.

When Hull and Gateshead merged, which club was saved?

When Huddersfield and Sheffield merged, which club was saved?

When Carlisle and Barrow merged, which club was saved?

Contrast the central body’s actions on Keighley, Salford and Bradford with their inaction on other, non heartland, clubs.

Look at the history of voting out or voting against clubs that are a bit far away.

Any time there is a choice, the choice is taken to reduce the non heartlands team. Even the language speaks to that - relying on the notion that a few disconnected, not necessarily majority-in-their-area clubs are a genuine heartland anyway.

Perez made the right call.

That's probably true, but it's a policy decision to exploit them and make participation ever harder. The UK/heartland clubs don't have to just because the organisational structure isn't right and the governing bodies (whoever that is on any given day) don't need to go along with it. And we could just change to a better organising structure at any point if we chose to.
