It happened in January 2010, and happens again in Jul 2011.......and in case you jump in with "yeah, but when does it next happen in October??" - 2021!!.....which only puts you 812 years out with your 'fact'!!


Don't believe everything you read on Facebook, eh!!

When the Gregorian calender was introduced 2 Saturdays and Sundays went missing in the first year along with a few week days.

We never got them back either. Makes me really mad does that.

Here's an October fact for you, it's happened every year since I was born.....................













My Birthday

I did n`t realise I was part of a clique or indeed a keyboard warrior but I`ll still get a good nights sleep tonight. As for offering my opinion face to face I`ll be in the North Stand for our 1st game adjacent to the West Stand, you`ll be able to notice me by my trusty keyboard by my side.


I`ll agree to disagree with you about Licensing/franchising, if this concept is such a good idea why do the RFL not have it in place for all of the 3 divisions.
We have salary caps to ensure that teams don`t overspend,some will find loopholes but thats life.
With regards P&R I personally like it and it rewards the team who have won their GF, the team finishing bottom in SL deserve to be relegated . Thats a much simpler concept surely.

I didn't read it on face book and do you always like to mock

I don't think people would be so bothered by licencing if is was all fair and the best 14 applications get the 14 licences.

Licences were supposed be about looking after the clubs and allow them to plan ahead without the worry of relegation, but I think its fairly obvious now that the whole point of licencing is so that the RFL can have more of a say so in where they want to take the game. No-one would be that surprised if the RFL start making noises about more French teams and then in the next round of licences either Toulouse or even Paris get a licence. Licences just give the RFL more power about who plays in SL, nothing to do with making the game more stable.

Whilst I know I run the risk of being called a flatcapper, but if the RFL weren't been so intent on keeping a London presence, the Celtic experiment and allowing Catalans to play in SL, there would be enough room in SL for the 11 other SL clubs plus Widnes, Leigh and Barrow/Halifax.

I like the idea of a 2 tier SL with 10 teams in each and promotion and relegation between the 2 leagues. IMO there are too many clubs outside of SL with SL aspirations whilst at the same time there are too many clubs in SL who have no realistic hope of challenging at the top. If you had a 2 tier SL the top division would be a true elite league, with the 2nd division there to give clubs the chance to progress if they get in right on and off the pitch.

dont forget south wales scorpions.

whilst two pro leagues of ten or twelve teams sounds a good idea i dont think the rfl/sle can afford it,sky would need to pay a lot more money and i cant see that happening until there are a lot more teams from outside lancs and yorks involved.

OK - you didn't read it on facebook. Let me guess, a 'chain' e-mail or text....."pass this info on to 8 mates, and share the luck".....that kind of thing??

Well done with the lottery win!! - How much does the Nigerian General need for 'admin' before he passes on your winnings??

In what way Nik ?

You gone away Nik ?
