The funniest thing is that Doncaster and Castleford were expansion teams at one point. I think if RL lost the tiny 5,000 or so minority of fans like 'rupert bear' we would be much better off.

In what way ?

Unfortunatley, RL in the Championship can ill afford to lose 500 fans, never mind 5000!

The most succesful expansion team no less!

What; you mean all 400 of you

There would be 500 less insular moaning small-time idiots trying to stop the spread of the game.

You really believe that fans have that influence ?



You really believe it is my fault that the game is only played where it is played ?



One thing that will help those fans to stop going is the current system we have of no promotion and relegation , teams playing to different rules , a team playing that cannot be relegated , gross mismanagement by the governing body



But it matters not , because those fans are not important , that is a fact in the eyes of the RFL

Thunder should win this one, with a decent score line to. I'm not saying Donny are easy by any means, just Thunder will be more than ready for this fixture.

No, they are just infuriating in their stupidity.

So it's not our fault that the game didn't grow outside the heartlands , but you dont like our discomfort at the RFL messing about with the rules to expand the game



Unfortunatley you cannot have one without the other

I think these might belong to you.







So what do you think the final solution might be to the problem?

If you care to look at the 99 season, Gateshead where getting gates of 6-8 thousand towards the end of the season. That would be expected as its a new team building up etc. This was better than about half the clubs at the time and today. So the potential is there.



Please in future do your research before you speak.
