He should buy Lenegans 65% then, everyones happy

| If an astute business man with pockets as deep as Branson pulled out from the Bronco's...why do we feel that the bafoons at the RFL know better then he did, and can somehow make it work. Business IQ Branson Versus the RFL...who's your money on?? C'mon get real!!
There are decisions made every year in the RFL that we all simply have to accept and move on from. The RFL have been and tried for many years and it hasn't worked. Wrap up it up and move on, don't go throwing more good money after bad money.
The Challenge cup weekend has just been and gone, and was attended by fans from clubs....big and small. I attended and saw three Quins shirts and not a single London amateur club shirt. It isn't working down there, lets just accept it and move on.

Is that how success is judged these days
Branson is a money maker-No one who owns a sports club makes money generally

| I disagree about Harlequins having any effect about the amount of money Sky put into the game. Very very few Southerners watch the game. But I know plenty of people in Cas that would cancel their sports package if rugby league wasn't on. Some even cancel during the off season. So the fear of losing Northerners sky money is more of a factor than having a failing Southern team made up of Northerners with a sprinkling of Southerners and forgieners.

On TV? I'm sure I saw a statistic that the majority of Sky viewers of RL were based in the south.
EDIT: Indeed I did, here: [url=http://www.therfl.co.uk/about/page.php?id=159&areaid=26550 per cent of viewers who watch Rugby League on Sky Sports live in the South of England[/url

| I don't undestand why we find it so difficult to get them to turn up to matches then! Something is going wrong somewhere.

The fact that it takes people living little over 10miles away an hour to get to the ground by car (which the majority on Londoners don't have) and an hour and a half by public transport probably accounts for a lot of it.
London is a time consuming place to travel across, it's not as simple as saying '8 million people live in London, if Quins attract 0.01% of them they'll be profitable'

| Not that it will happen but RL fans need to go to red hall on mass to Protest about this sort of stuff, But they wont! The RFL is like watching a family member on Heroin at first you try to help but after all the lies and pain you end up washing your hands of them!!

| But have you ever tried watching a match in a Pub down South. Almost impossible. Londoners would rather watch a division one game of football than put on RL. Indicates to me that those watching the match are actually Northerners living down south.

| Is there a more corrupt league in any sport than this superleague ?
I just wonder when they are going to start the financial aid to Cas, Wakey Salford , even to saints cos they posted a big loss this year ........................................ My advice for this one is "dont hold your breath".
It makes the championship more attractive if just to get away from these bent s
