Just heard on Talksport about a new RL club being formed in Northampton. Were about to talk about it but i was leaving the car and put the radio on in the house and they haven't mentioned it yet, dont know if i have missed it.
Do you think they will be a success? They have a good RU following. Not sure the public will take to it. I hope they do!

Good to see they are coming in at the bottom and not fast tracked.
'when my life is over, the thing which will have given me greatest pride is that I was first to plunge into the sea, swimming freely underwater without any connection to the terrestrial world'
It's a good move and it sounds like they are being realistic with their approach.
If they could get the Northampton produced local players now at professional clubs back they could have a very competitive side as well.
But it's you define success at that level. I would say success is not going out of business, with the quality of the games and opposition down there it will be impossible to generate decent gates.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
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!

I know. Why would they want any kind of ambition.
