Anyone know if NWC have cancelled the fixturees for this weekend? A few decent games on the Saturday, Includinng Wigan v Saints. I've been bought a ticket for the saturday for xmas so I wont be able to play on the Saturday, and im sure there will be a few more in the same boat.

Wish I'd listened at the NWC meeting the other week as something was mentioned!!

Can't really see it been given a free weekend due to have far behind the fixtures are, however dependent on who you are playing you may be able to play it on a different date.

no doubt fixtures will be played that weekend throughout most regional leagues and the ncl leagues. the rfl will then be wondering why theres not a sell out at the milenium. theres never any thoughts given to amateur players wanting to go to these events.

Think I remember Ron saying at a meeting at the start of the season that no free dates would be given throughout the season and magic weekend was specifically mentioned as was grand final.

Of course there will be fixtures played that weekend. BARLA and NWC only allow free dates for the Challenge Cup final for the few teams that have only just started their season. We wonder why internationals and other major events (bar the CC final) don't sell out, its because the winter amateur set up doesn't pull its weight in helping the game succeed.

Doubt it, anymore cancelled fixtures will lead to a huge fixture pile up. I know at Ashton the idea of playing twice in a week for a while has already being mooted around.

Tuesday: Training
Wednesday: Game
Thursday: Training
Saturday: Game

No thankyou!

There are NO free weekends allowed this season. It was announced at the start of the season and included both the Grand Final weekend and Millenium weekend. Bit harsh really as we've a wedding within the club coming up and can't get a free for the stag weekend or the wedding weekend...

Maybe if the RFL helped the amateur scene a bit more (money etc etc) they would get support. The RFL are a take take take organisation and don't give a stuff about lower amateur rugby. :NAUGHTY:

I actually hope BARLA split from the RFL :PRAY:

Spoken like a true flat-capper.

The Community Raffle, clubs get 40% of the price of every ticket sold. Thats 40p per ticket. If a club sells 1000 tickets they get £400. Thats just one example.

I'd suggest you read the RFL website for full details, particularly the links on Club Partnerships, Funding, Facilities and Clubmark. If a club is pro active in the way they run themselves then they will receive help.
