rupert bear wrote:Thank you. Four days for a response because i do not have a computer at home. We all have our own opinions on expansionism. I work with supporters of various teams, Bradford, Castleford and Leeds and one thing that we all agree on is that we don't care about Wales, France, London etc. Nothing personal you understand but we're just not bothered....
Cas fans? really? every cas fan i know want thunder to do well, cas have alot of links with thunder. I admire thunder fans because they have been sgafted and saw there club die but refused to give in and wallow in self pity, and are now looking forward to a bright future, a hell of alot of rl fans could learn from there example.
when the score got to 50 we shouted for more, up popped brad davis went over for four.....
......and its no nay never no nay never no more will we face religation......

The funniest thing is that Doncaster and Castleford were expansion teams at one point. I think if RL lost the tiny 5,000 or so minority of fans like 'rupert bear' we would be much better off.

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.

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!

Unfortunatley, RL in the Championship can ill afford to lose 500 fans, never mind 5000!

It is teams like us who struggle along year after year who are the heart and soul of Rugby League, not leeds and Saints etc or Harlequins, Celtic, Gateshead, Catalans. Rugby League belongs to the likes of Hunslet, Workington, Swinton not a made up plastic team !

There would be 500 less insular moaning small-time idiots trying to stop the spread of the game.

You really believe that fans have that influence ?
You really believe it is my fault that the game is only played where it is played ?
One thing that will help those fans to stop going is the current system we have of no promotion and relegation , teams playing to different rules , a team playing that cannot be relegated , gross mismanagement by the governing body
But it matters not , because those fans are not important , that is a fact in the eyes of the RFL
