Quote ="Stand-Offish"It's a crazy idea and won't work.
Eh, but let them do what they want, they will anyway.
They just stick pins in maps of faraway places.
The resulting clubs die on their s. They always have done bar the odd exception .....Catalans.
Is that any reason for them not to try?
Well if they want to ignore history ... let them go ahead.
Basically RL is a localised minority sport and what the hell is going to change that?
Only a shedload of dosh from somebody like Murdoch.
The cost of fuel nowadays is becoming prohibitive and that is one reason why the only away games I went to last year were games when a coach was laid on.
I spend enough on the bloody stuff as it is.
I'd sooner have a day at the coast on a sunny day.
I suppose in an ideal world we could all stop overnight and see the sights to mitigate the boredom of travelling there and back in a day... more expense!
Football fans do it though ... why is that?
All I know is there are no bounds to the desperation of the RFL in spreading this sport and blow the consequences.
And blow fairness.
And blow any club that stands in the way!'"
I would agree with your views.
This WILL NOT WORK and I fear for the future of any of the current CC1 clubs who are still in this division when the RFL realise this. What we need is more games against the teams we have now and also in the Champoinship. Why not just merge the two leagues we have now? The travelling will be a killer. You might as well watch Moorends or Toll Bar .
