The CIRCUS is coming to Town .

Just read that North Wales Crusaders were allocated the 'central part of the Skircoat Stand' and London Skolars are to share the South Sound with Leigh. Crusaders have been getting attendances around the 1000 mark so fingers crossed they'll bring a few along. However, neither side seem to be giving it much promotion on their websites/Twitter pages. I wonder of the TV Gantry will be set up in the East Stand to avoid blocking the Crusaders fans?

I'll be coming along, but paying on the day. I'd imagine a fair few walk ups will come along on the day.

I HOPE next year its back to BLackpool, its our Magic day and needs a neutral venue IMHO, having this and the Grand Final at our grounds knocks a couple of thousand off the attendances.

Me too . I used to love going to Blackpool and I would make it a "bit of a do" mostly staying for the night and geting a box at the stadium because it was something differant. We were contacted about hospitality this time but because we had been knocked out decided against and I doubt wether I will even attend at all . It just does not hold the same magic for me even though I know the RFL are saving money by doing it I still think Blackpool is a better venue.

The clubs make virtually no money from the competition if held in Blackpool - and this is when it is contested by a combination of the three main crowd pullers Fev, Fax and Leigh. Imagine the loss if it was a Sheffield and Batley final? It's hard enough surviving as it is without going all the way to the final and getting zero cash for your efforts. It is such a shame but there it is.

Any smoke detectors in there ?

More likely to need a Crowd Detector fitted! LOL

Maybe not the smartest time for that quip.

Where did those missing thousands go ?

Where did your extra's come from, more-like ? You're part of the big RFL charade fella. Let's hope your boys copped some knocks & a traditional club in Leigh can wallop you's on saturday evening.

As Lemmy once said, "you win some, lose some, it's all the same to me........... The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say."

Then maybe you should make entry fee £8 every game.

Just curious, what are you criteria for "traditional" clubs?

Could it be going into administration, appealing for financial support from fans of other clubs, 'merging' with a more successful club to maintain Super League status despite failing to earn the right to stop there?

Or is it simply having been around for a long time and failing to be presented with their "right" on a plate?

My simple answer is that: Clubs who have been around for decades & have some history, be it good or bad, even the greatest/most successful of traditional RL clubs have hit troubled times such as Wigan, Saints, Hull & Hull Kingston, Leeds & Bradford.

My y reply would be something like this: Your club is based in a two club footballing city, it will never be a major force in RL terms. Enjoy your final on saturday, I would if it was my team competing. Both of you.

You'll do for me Colin.

What's this merger you speak of one-eye?

Shuddersfield giant eagles

Also hullhead thunder sharks

thank god it was not bradfax bull soxs or haliford blue bulls

Could have been wakcasstone tiger rovers trinity. Getting on a role here. How about waranshelens warrior wolves and salnes city Vikings

or wigleigh centuriors. Salton red lions

Workhavrow town raiders , leedslet rhinhawks, Dewsley ram dogs

We didn't merge with Huddersfield.

We took them over.

They were so impressed that they bought the company.
