Lets home no clubs use deal reg. see good cup ties with players from there own clubs for a change, good luck Crusaders

Yep. I'm not putting down or disrespecting the lower league or amateur clubs. Just the vast majority of RL fans are fans of SL clubs. I'm sure interest will grow as the rounds continue. In the same way as the vast majority of Championship clubs fans arent that interested in the preliminary rounds of the cup.

Well, the bit about the Challenge Cup Final is fair enough; I go to the CCF every year, and have done for many, many, years, regardless of who's playing, as do plenty of league fans. The "second team" bit, not so much.

Agreed, they are SUPER League fans, not Rugby League fans. I'm going to watch Leigh Miners v Oxford on Saturday !!!

No they're not Super League fans. They're fans of their club. Otherwise they'd be off to 2/3 SL games per week.

Do Leigh Miners get the same crowds as Leigh Centurions? If not, why not? Are Leigh Centurions fans not Rugby League fans either?

You still haven't said why fans of other clubs should take anything more than a passing interest in the early rounds of the cup.

It's not up to fans of some clubs to make up the numbers at other clubs. It's up to those clubs to attract and keep their own fans.

Look I know you like an 'argument' His Infernal Majesty, but I don't mean 'go an watch' other lower league teams...just 'take an interest'. Maybe I'm just weird, eh ?
