Thanks for the blessing Nik - I for one feel better for that.  The 'little leythers' who object so passionately to licensing are the ones who support their club, come hell or high water and believe (only in our little opinions mind) that the current system is killing Rugby League at the 'little' clubs of the Championship. |

And yet to have a single valid justification for licensing.

| Quote Clitheroe="Clitheroe"Wrote this to League Express and Rugby Leaguer if only to stir the pot a little.Concensus please!
You could at least get your facts correct if you print statistics in your leader column. (Rugby Leaguer and League Express 23rd May) Fact: Featherstone are not joint leaders of the Championship. They are second, six points behind the unbeaten leaders, Leigh Centurions.
Also, didn't this weekend prove what a farce the franchise system is. Soccers last day of the season had some fantastic matches, with all to play for by six teams at least, and the adrenillin of all their supporters must have been fantastic, with no-one knowing until the final whistle what the outcome would be, and who were going up and who were being demoted. What have we got? A closed shop franchise for the next three years with literally nowt to play for. Those in Superleague are in a comfort zone for three years and even the leading championship teams have nothing to offer supporters to get excited about ( unless you say that the Northerrn Rail Cup is exciting). Why is it that the jobsworths at Red Hall think that because the Aussies do something (and that is their business) it must be good for our game. This thinking is just arrant nonesense. All we ask is that the RL give us some incentive to aim for instead of three years just watching our fanbase disappear, with the end reasult that the RL will consist of about ten teams playing for a pointless cup or two, all other teams having gone to the wall because no one turns up to watch. Another point against the franchise is that a mediocre side like Widnes get promoted on the strength of what they did two or three years ago, and not what they are doing now. On performance alone, Leigh should be given the opportunity to compete at the top level, because, point proved against Catalans, they are good enough to compete there. Featherstone also have a claim to promotion. Instead, Superleague clubs will just come poaching our top players, as is the case at Leigh with Ellis and Hill already on Superleague teams shopping list. This means that we will have to start rebuilding our team again next year and probably the year after that, ad infinitum, because of this stupid and self interested system that we have now. I rest my case.'"
I agree entirely with you comments. I have been expressing the exact same for some time. There is no incentive for many teams and players. Many many games are now pointless. As a consequence crowds are suffering. RFL has made it's worst decisions in recent years. |

| Supporters of franchising are rare.
They truly believe it is the way forward for our game.
Now is it working ? Is it wanted ? Who are the people who support it ? One in Scarborough one in Exeter and one or two more.
I go to games home and away wether my team is winning or not and I loathe its' introduction and always have done.
It has to go .Fans detest it. We want our game back RFL.  See sense before the pro game is history. |

It appears to me that frank has posted a rather sarcastic bit of sense, P&R is needed its what keeps the hope going and the excitment of sport, I only get to watch Aussie NRL and Superleague now and I am fast going off superleague as most teams don't seem to be bothered about get a tonking, except in the challenge cup because it matters!!!!
In superleague if you lose now you gain nowt lose nowt because your safe, administration doesn't matter wait till next year and start again, lay another brick down on your preposed stadium or ensure your in a developement area, god it annoys me!
There needs to be something for the clubs outside SL even the reinvention of the regal trophy another chance of playing against the big clubs their day in the sun.
Memories!!!!!
