Could have said much the same about HKR in the 90's. |

No you couldn't but that was an entirely predicatble responce
How many times did we go bust in that period?
It certainly wasn't at LEAST once a season, once is bad management but when it happens under every single guise you take there are obviously unworkable problems. |

But that doesn't disguise the fact that both Donny and Rochdale have a core support as loyal as any other - in fact, with the amount of e they have to play their way through, they're certainly more dedicated than most - and as such they shouldn't be 'got rid of' and tossed aside, purely because they're a smaller club. |

It's not the fact they are a smaller club, they quite clearly cannot sustain a professional rugby league club |

That's where they've been going wrong then, as they should be trying to sustain a semi-professional rugby league club.  |

A little unkind, rochdale have produced a number of england players, had crowds of upto 19,000 and won the challenge cup. |

Sorry history is not allowed on the VT
RL as a sport cannot afford to lose any of its member clubs , we are a weak enough sport club wise as it is
What is needed is a reality check by all parts of the sport from top to bottom , and as I have said previously ' reality ' is not as cool as positive ' spin '  |
