Not having ago , just stating things as I see them , like you would on a internet MB
Quote:Not sure since this has been announced as a new development. I think Celtic were doing fine in the Championship but Superleague - as Leigh may discover if it ever gets here - is a different beast altogether.
Well I seem to remember them mentioning the help they were getting from the RFL all last season
Doing fine ? they were running virtually on the same budget then as they are now , he was probably putting more money in last season than this , as for Leigh , well yes we had our day in the sun , I enjoyed being the director of a SL club visiting the various boardrooms
Quote:Yup. I went there for the recent CC round. They had 4,500 crowd, of which we were about 1,500. Me and lots of other Saints fans had conversations with locals about the match - they were the ones who raised it with us because Thunder had done such a good PR job. They are in a very tough place compared to Leigh and yet they are making definite inroads into what is a hugely soccer-obsessed area.
So they drew an extra 2,500 fans for your visit , excellent shove them in SL now I say
Quote:When they beat you, you mean?
They didn't beat us , they murdered us
Quote:How many Leigh fans go to Gateshead? Are all your players British/local? There are Geordie accents in their team, British accents and Aussie accents. I would expect a mix of local/British/foreign players in every RL team.
Hopefully quite a few as we may well need to beat them to avoid relegation , as for players , we have one non quota aussie, one born in britain Kiwi and all the rest are british with about 50 % from our reserves or at least from the town
Unfortunatley we dont seem able to bring any Aussies over as for some reason they are refused visa's
Strange how some clubs can get as many as they want but some cannot get any
