We get nothing from the RFL, they even tried to talk us out of setting up teams at youth level!

Halifaxjohn didn't write that you did.
My lawyers are waiting for an apology.

I know what you mean I got few shouts at the Ref in last night, its the inconsistency that gets you annoyed, getting it wrong is one thing but missing the same offence minutes later is not on no matter what level you are at.
Fax lost their discipline which was poor,Sheffield deserved to win, bit annoying when they are paid by the RFL to run an U23s and we have to get fans to help pay ours!

I really really really really wish that was true.

The RFL just paid for my toast, was lovely.

Can't wait to pick up my free ticket for tonight's game from Red Hall later.

Seriously, I don't know where this myth comes from, probably because we're not from 'The Heartlands' but the authorities don't give us a penny, well not a penny more than they give anyone else anyway.

Like brummie said, it took a hell of a lot of hard work to even get them to agree to us having the five teams required for SL.

We usually get less. There were two seasons where we got nothing.

Come on you are classed as a DEVELOPMENT area so you get assistance from the RFL or are you saying that you can afford to run an U23s on your crowds and not having your own ground? You can afford that nice coach to bring your lads up on Wednesday night, (it was as good as most first team coaches).
Really???

Au contraire. We're not.
