So many people on here will be disappointed if the game at Wigan sells out. Some posters are beyond words.

The thing is, they [iwill[/i too. Some RL 'fans' are just plain weird. It almost puts me off the game and if it wasn't so good, I wouldn't follow a sport with as many moaners, small minded clowns and whingers as RL.

Thats what happens in any divided organisation, the family bickers amongst itself. I thought long and hard about bothering but my detest of the RFL was overcome by my love of what I believe RL to be, and that needed my support.

Very well said Maurice. Its always the fans of super league clubs that are saying 'whats wrong with the whingers'.

I would except it keeps crashing when I try to buy tickets.

Nothing to do with SL or non SL. Rugby League is littered with moaners from top to bottom. They seem only happy when things are going t1ts up, this means they can say 'we told you so' whilst offering knack all condtructive themselves.

That's a strange one. Strnage because next year there is the soccer world cup and you will definitely see fans from lower or non league clubs there displaying flags. These clubs have zero chance of joining the premier league but still seem to back their national side. Perhaps the fault is parochial RL fans?

If you don't get it already, then no amount of persuasion will help you understand. I completely understand the disenchantment of these who feel cut off by the RFL and the Super League elite as a whole, though I will be attending the game on Saturday as per.

Although I'll probably never fully understand how you feel I can get an idea. I have friends who support Halifax, Rochdale and Whitehaven and it's a touchy subject. When I get back home I try to watch whatever rugby league I can, whether it be at Wigan, Oldham or St Judes. I'll be at Saints v Wigan on December 27th and am hoping to get to the boxing day derby at Widnes.

The way Leigh are going mate it won't belong before you are shot of the RFL and in BARLA's hands

Meow!

I know exactly what they say but most of it is in their imagination. Like the way Celtic Crusaders are the root of all their problems and not being run like a joke for the previous 100+ years.



What do you think a club like AFC Wimbledon have in common with someone like Man U? Were they not treated shabbily? But will the Wimbledon fans support England? Yes

pity is more appropriate for the fool.

Bottom line is many fans of non SL clubs do not feel that the England/GB team is any longer anything to do with them , sorry but that is the way it is

Those footy clubs you talk about do have a clear path to the premiership , unlike most heartland Championship clubs to SL , unlikely I know , but still a clear path , ask the Notts County fans

Just been on the rl website and you can buy 20 tickets grouped together anywere in the ground

Doesn't bode well

The only 'clear path' open to those teams is some oil sheik buying them up - how 'fair' or likely is that? I would argue the Championship clubs have more likelihood of getting to the top level in RL than those soccer clubs have.

And as for Notts County, I've seen stronger foundations in, er something sandy!

and something that seems to be happening more and more in Football

Can't see some billionaire snapping up Fev though.

That's the whole point , because of their location no serious business investor is ever going to look at a Championship club other than an expansion club

Eh? What is so good about Notts Countys location?

Nothing , good or bad , if you win the games you go up

They were bought because the buyers thought they were getting Newcastle.

Perhaps if Leigh started playing in cherry and white hoops and calling themselves the Warriors, they would be bought?

Then what? Lose your players, buy new ones and go back down, then bust?

I honestly think this is a Northern thing - in general Northerners seem less open to change and new ideas.

When the oil runs out, they'll come back to Fev for t'coal. Bentley garages will be popping up everywhere in Fev come 2035.
