Quote poplar panther="poplar panther"But the whole problem of RL in this country is that it is stuck in 3 northern counties. It cannot attract sponsors or media partners with that portfolio. If you don't recognise it as a problem your are doomed to suffer because of it.
I have no beef with Rovers, they are a great club and it is a great RL village, but the game will die if it shrinks into its own comfort blanket.'"
We cannot attract major sponsors or media partners when Broncos and Crusaders were in SL either. The last sponsor of SL was a Harrogate based insurance company that I have never heard of (and I'm from Harrogate).
The BBC didn't show the SL show in Wales or London either.
We need expansion that's a given but tokenism fools nobody. The top-down approach hasn't worked whilst the bottom-up approach hasn't ever really been tried.
I don't think this is the end of Broncos even though it looks like the end of them as a SL side for the forseeable future.
