Save The Rhino(s) : Mon Sep 03, 2018 6:21 pm  
Anyone else amused by the irony of this? I know it is a serious conservation project and issue, but..........as a marketing 'faux pas' it takes some beating in our current crisis.

The plight of a well-supported and financed sports team in the UK versus the survival of a species teetering on the brink of extinction... How tasteful.

Am I the only person who thinks you're reading too much into this?

As an aside, do Leeds have a standing relationship with that charity? If not they ought to.

I've always thought that every SL team should have an associated charity and one of the rounds is a charity round. Clubs could have one off shirts with profits split between them and the charity. Would be better than the superhero ones they dish out now

You're probably right :oops:

If it was done sensitively it might work.

Fellow Rhinos, please don't get me wrong here. I am a conservationist. It is merely the timing of this that amuses; by the time we play Salford we could be clinging on to SL life.

I think every SL club should pick a charity that they focus on for the whole year. One round raising a few grand wouldn't help as much as say a logo on the shirt every game (and so seen on TV) plus ongoing efforts.

I don't think the irony of asking which 'rhino' we're trying to save is lost on anyone!
