The thing is the more ' bums on seats ' you have , the easier it is to get the corporate sponsor

Having decent corporate sponsorship does not bring in ' bums on seats '

well done son. you haven't read or comprehended anything i've said.

I counter your statement about wealthy benefactors being fans of the club and all you can do is talk about money and success they have brought. How did that make Caddick a Rhinos fan pre him buying the club. Steven Vaughan was never a fan of any of the clubs he's ruined, but why should we let that get in the way of your ideas. I can live with Ken Davy Doing what he wants. but what happens should his business empire go bust? where will that leave the giants and HTFC?

You really have no idea what you are talking about. Maybe you should apply for a job with the RFL. They could do with more people like you. possibly a job in development.

and as for your statement about twee common ownership and it been a joke. maybe you've heard of a small team called FC Barcelona? They certainly aren't a joke.

but hey ho, you stick to living in your little bubble, and i'll crack on with running my club, secure in the fact that no one person can buy or sell my club for private gain.

if the RFL were to do this, wouldnt this cast a huge doubt on clubs in the championships ability to run themselves as a viable business

making it much more difficult for a championship club to prove itself worthy of a franchise?

It should do both

there is no either/or situation here

Shouldn't it?

Not exactley but a more integrated way of running things

Why , how many people do Quins have in their marketing dept ? , or Celtic

In fact having a think about it today as the Skolars would find it difficult to ' partner up ' you could have them arrange things with Quins and Celtic

It all comes down to money , the non SL clubs dont have any so instead of having maybe one person working on their own not really getting anywhere , you have a team working full time on marketing but ' blitzing ' one club in any given week

The people the clubs supply learn more about marketing as a result so if that club then does get into SL you have an experienced person to head up any marketing that club then does

Like ' training '

, that combined with in some cases the losing of the ' holy Grail ' of SL means chasing that support is a total waste of time

Spread your resourses too thinly and you achive nothing , plus there is time in the ' off ' season to look at that side of things , and for potentially directors to be better suited to deal with it

What I am reffering to is during the season

so trying to add say 10 or 20 % isn't really that much to aim at

Part of this boils down to do the RFL want the people of Dewsbury watching the Rams or do they want them at the Giants , similar with Leigh people at the LSV or would they rather they go to the DW or the HJ ?

no no you've got it all wrong. like marsdengiant says, everythings cool, Ken Davy will sort it out. nothing to worry about.

Certainly sounds like ' Feeder ' clubs to me

So then you would be fine in these people who are learning being 'marked' on how well they are learning it, with this also being obviously helpful in understanding how well this club is run?

which is best for the game?

say 15-20 very strong clubs and 2nd tier which is nothing but a feeder

or one or two very strong clubs, 8 or so strong clubs, and 25 'weak' clubs?

if that is the case, and the corporate support and sponsorship simply isnt there, and never will be,

then these clubs, unfortunately, will never survive in todays world, and we really cant be focusing our efforts on these clubs acheiving things we know they cant do

if clubs like Leigh dont even have the possibility of having the necessary corporate or sponsorship support, then your right, we shouldnt be chasing it.

But that means we should also understand clubs like Leighs position in the scheme of things. They simply dont have the potential to be SL clubs and we should be looking at strengthening their position in the RL pyramid and how that can improve RL as a whole

I dont think you are grasping the concept

Which people do you want ' marking and how ?

this was the post

To quote you , " There is no either or here "

Why does it have to be one or the other ?

Are the SL clubs that fragile they cannot survive unless they chase support in little towns like Batley,Swinton or Keighley ?

What is ' best for the game ' is all clubs progressing in whatever competition they are in ans at whatever level they are at

IIRC, the Bulls had, around 2000/01, more season ticket holders in Dewsbury than they did in Bradford.

and that's when Dewsbury were fairly successful on the field.

, but also lets improve the whole of RL while we're at it

That from a leigh numpty...lovely

Sure he will.

Did you see that club wetting itself at the start of the 2009. desperate for £ to 'survive'. It was a very touching story. i always put on the violin music when I read about them.

Got bailed out by a private business built by an entrepreneur.

One of the posts on here said:

Bramley Buffaloes Chair Martyn Cheney exclaimed: “We were facing an uncertain future without a main sponsor and our very existence was under threat until PPD showed an interest.

Don'tcha just luv them sugar daddies!

that the one thing that Huddersfield are not doing is pulling in the punters , when you can do that you will then truly be a ' super ' club

But until then

no but i do love my sponsors. slight difference cockle

That lass in Amsterdam said pretty much the same thing about me whilst I tucked €20 in her minky.

Welcome to someone elses pocket sunshine.
