Quote ="Donnyman"Have you just noticed this? As per my post on the other thread Rugby league has had 120 years of trying to promote the game to 50 places outside the M62, none of which worked because the game has little to no interest in those places, so it rarely finds the investment of locals there especially from the business communities....
The current league table reads like a league table from 1899. But so what?
We are what we are, and what we are works. What we are is at least highly respected and televised nationally.
Why be depressed? Why not enjoy the game for what it is.........
Why not be proud of it?'"
Great post. If the sport and game is that bad as some on here portray, why don't they just move on?
In my lifetime alone..
London
Fulham
Bridgend
Gateshead
Mansfield
Kent Invicta
Cardiff
...have all failed. There seems to be an opinion that the sport will fail and collapse without this "global brand" that a number of posters keep harping on about. We are 155 years in and I see zero evidence to suggest this is the case.
If the sport is that bad, move on and find something else and take your angst ridden self importance elsewhere.
Otherwise, just enjoy the sport for what it is.
