spooneryork wrote::) Barrow could do it on their own with some big ground improvements. Barrow are getting just shy of 2000 crowds for their home games this season. Barrow is 60 miles away from Whitehaven and Workington so can't even remotely be including in any merged Super League team proposals. But surely it could stand alone and prosper? Barrow due to it's proximatey to the Scottish borders also offers interesting possiblities for expansion into Scotland if it did have a Super League franchise.


You should have paid more attention in Geography pal. To discount Barrow from any merged Cumbrian SL side in one sentence and then mention Barrow and the Scottish borders in another is absolute idiocy.

Ignorance like that is the reason there isnt a SL side in Cumbria in the first place.

Just because Barrow have had few decent crowds this season doesnt automatically put them in the box seat for SL. Haven have played in 2 grand finals, 2 semi finals and a NRC final in the past 5 years and averaged over 2k for a few seasons during this time. Surely that puts US in the box seat (ground improvements pending of course).

There wont be any SL team in Cumbria in the foreseable future. Toulouse and Widnes are almost shoe ins for 2012 if you ask me.

would it be an amalgamation of workington, whitehaven and barrow? if so, have you seen the size of cumbria?


Barrow is alot easier to get to, it's about 20-30 minutes from the M6 turn off at Kendal.

Why not? They,ve bunged a SL team in Bridgend? :roll: :?

Reduce the playoff from 8 to 4

Increase the size of SL, from 14 to 18

the championship 11 to 14

leaves 3 teams out (potential merger loss)



An actual international tournament

top 4 super league
top 4 NRL

play in a mini tournament

1st plays 4th
2nd plays 3rd

so going off last seasons standing

1.St Helens v Sydney Roosters
2.Leeds Rhinos v Cronulla Sharks
3.Catalans v Manly Sea Eagles
4.Wigan Warriors v Melbourne Storm

A. 1 plays 3
B. 2 plays 4

A v B






It's been fun.

There will never be a cumbrian club in SL

Until they bring back P and R

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

Why does Cumbria need a Super League club? It's hardly a major population Centre with the potential to attract regular 5 figure crowds. At the moment, the Cumbrian clubs are fine as strong Championship sides. I don't see what bending over backwards to include a Cumbrian club in SL would really achieve.

If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.
