I think we may have a team from midlands in the SL before a team from scotland.

WAHAAAAY, we're in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shove that, all you naysayers and doubters!

To replace that shower of a club in terminal decline that play at the JJB!!!!!

Glad to hear your bum has stopped twitching.

Amyl nitrite?

Can't believe they've not let the Leythers in!



Come on you LEIGHHHHHHH

Having 1 team in vast areas, including France, will not improve the sport. Sorry. Its a northern English sport predominantly. And its becoming increasingly popular without the need to add some second rate Welsh team with a stadium no better than Workington's to the yearly fixture list.

You are Richard Lewis and I claim my free trip to Bridgend.

Spot on


As I have said before The RFL is corrupt how CELTIC ,QUINNS, WAKEFIELD AND CASTLEFORD can get in in place or in front of LEIGH,WIDNES AND HALIFAX is beyond me, the 4 that have got licences are the worst followed teams or have stadia that is nowhere near the required standard and are nowhere near starting work on a new stadium.
I would prefer playing Widnes at home with 2500 Widnes fans there or 1500 from Leigh than 30 that Quinns bring or the 150 that Wakey and Cas bring and God knows how many Celtic fans will turn up 10 - 50 I would imagine .
Letting teams like these in the league destroy the atmosphere at home games and makes the competition less enjoyable, the licences handed out is a step backwards imo.
They had the chance to enhance the game and make it better imo they have not done this, out of the 4 that are in I would say Wakefield are the only ones that should have got one but that would have been close to Quinns but how long do you give teams like Quinns to develop a fan base they have been in business over 10 yrs now and still cant break the 4000 a match at home games week in week out and that includes away fans so how small is there home support I would guess at 3-3500 is that enough for a team with 10 yrs + development behind them.
Will we now face the same with Celtic as we have with Quinns ? or are we just trying to sell Sky dishes in Wales ?

I guess you were dead against Melbourne's inclusion in the NRL?

Before i try ready anymore. Halifax have a main stand they have been building for 8 years. Dont you think they should try and finish that before classing themselves as having the required standard.

do you not think that a 30 game league season is a bit too much though depending how well you do in the cc and play offs could be more than that

Only for Us and Leeds.

A bit rich from somebody who doesn't go to away games due to re-cuperating from sitting on your backside all the previous evening.

Regardless of opinion, thats a stupid way to think.

Think Celtic should have one but not this time round, maybe next time when the licences are up for review again (correct me if im wrong but i think that is in 3 years). Leigh and certainly Widnes should be in IMO. Like a few people have posted, I also am not surprised by the decisions.

If they did do that, they might have to expand the salary cap to allow more players in the squad for more games in the season.

Still better supported than Quinns ,Any team that has not been in SL has not got the financial clout to complete a stadium ,lets face it Salford would be out of Business now if they had failed to get a licence it was a gamble that paid off.
Wakey and Cas should have already been in there stadiums by now and there Franchises should be on elastic and if they are not in and playing at new stadia before 2011 they should lose their licence .

Will be interesting to find out what will now happen to Celtic's deal with S4C, now that they are in the big time..........

Completely different given the fact that Rugby League is one of, if not, Australia's biggest sport. Whereas, it's way down the pecking order here in the UK.

Thats why I'm not for this expansion nonsense. Couldn't even get Quins to exceed the 3,000 barrier at the weekend.

People will still find something to moan about though.

You really don't like the Halliwell Jones Stadium, do you.............

some of us work for a living my friend .
Before I went self-employed I went to every away game. unfortunately when you are self-employed you don't work you don't get paid .

Being self-employed you are at liberty to arrange your working hours around kick-off times etc. so I don't see your point.

However the point being that you was de-riding the crudentials of certain clubs because they do not bring thousands of away fans to games at the H&J yet by admission you do not go to away games yourself. Surely even you can see an element of glass houses and stones in what you say.

If a club has to rely upon away fans paying at the gates to survive then I suggest they themselves are not worthy of a licence.
