Of course they should have been made to apply for a license. Everyone had to. It was the RFL's way of gauging how far some clubs really are going. Do you think they shouldn't have had to? Now that would have been a farce! |

So they didn't know that Saints had won 3 Challenge cups and made numerous SL GF's , not to mention loads of internationals , but had a crap ground until they read the application ? |

No they didnt, they gave detailed feedback, much more detailed than that released to the general public, to the clubs. |

15. Toulouse - if Mimmes can get upgraded a bit, go for it.'"
Not happening, plans are in place to make CP a ground for SL 2012 and then in 2015.
I doubt any pitch coulkd take three professional sports teams hammering it anyway. |

| Quote SRC="SRC"Just skimming through this thread, it has just hit home what a sorry state our great sport is in when the axe hangs above some great RL clubs. The axe is brandished by a faceless bunch of unelected administrators who continue to bail out 'experimental' clubs, but don't think twice about condeming more traditional clubs to a slow death.
I am not against 'expansion', but am against flogging dead horses at the expense of other, more worthy causes.
If the RFL go by their silly criteria to the letter, then Crusaders would be first for the drop, followed by Quins. Both will still be in SL in 2012 and that, for me, sums up how scandalous the sport has become.
I find it slightly sad and disturbing that RL clubs have to bow and scrape to these faceless people. Scratting around to prove the worthiness of their clubs and jumping into decisions to try and secure their SL future. Press releases about Stadia, season ticket sales ..... many of which have huge negative financial implications to the clubs concerned.
The next 12 months is going to be really interesting - but also a real crossroads for at least 1 club currently in the top flight. At least 3 years in the Championship for the deposed club may well spell the end. Back to part-time. No more Sky millions. Far less TV coverage. Crowds will fall. Sponsorship's will reduce. And if the unlucky clubs' proposed new stadium does actually get built, a white elephant that cannot be sustained.
Off the field, the sport and its' decisions is a laughing stock. Unfortunatly the joke is on all of us.'"
a cracking post, agree with everything said  |

You used to offer a decent alternative opinion, but now you're quite boring and just choose to believe what you want to picture the RFL in a bad way, even though it's glaringly obvious it's not the case. You should maybe find something better to do? |

How does the:
MCG (Melbourne, Collingwood, Richmond, Hawthorn)
Sydney Football Stadium (Roosters, Souths, Waratahs, Sydney FC, Wests)
Stadium Australia (Bulldogs, St Ge*rge, Eels, Swans)
AAMI Park (Heart, Victory, Storm, Rebels)
Cope then?
Actually, FC and KR fans on there day in day out - that'd be lethal.  |
