As expected, Celts and Salford are in
We have poor record as regards expansion.slimshady wrote:86years since the league was re-named but its still away fans travelling to london that give them their gates, not home support. Take last weekends gate of 2112 against Castleford. The millenium weekend is not a good representation of support in Wales as we do not know how many of those fans were welsh.cpwigan wrote:How long have Northern Clubs had?slimshady wrote: If all the finances are in place, stadiums built or in construction then the two best teams should get in. Not some jacked up taff team with no history. How long have we tried to promote RL in London they are not interested, the average gate is about 4200 a game at home thanks largely to the 8000 gate the got versus Wigan. I think the same will happen with Celtic
Look at what the RU have achieved at Newcastle Falcons and compare that to the treatment meted out to Gateshead!!
London went to Wembley and folded, Sheffield won the cup and got 'merged' and effectively put out of business.
The RL are under immense pressure to spread the code for
the sake of their Sky paymasters, but the strength is in the M62 corridor as usual.
