You are right about Rugby League its trys to be a Professional Sport but is run from international Level down to Barla as a set of amateurs with a set agenda. IF it ever was properly organized it would take off but that day is a long way off sadly. Clubs like Halifax, Widnes, Leigh, Keighley, Rochdale are treated like crap from the top.
Dont get me wrong. Football has many faults and is riddled with crooks or people who only see it as an ego trip. And you are right about FC Halifax Town, it is hard not to be depressed when visiting some of these away grounds. But at least I can be optimistic of progressing back up the leagues. The RFL have absolutely ruined RL by introducing the franchising system and I unfortunately dont see 'Fax ever returning to SL. Although I dearly hope I am wrong.
