World Cup : Thu May 26, 2011 5:14 pm
From today's Sporting Life"The All-Party Parliamentary Rugby League Group say they have helped safeguard vital funding for the 2013 World Cup.
It was feared the tournament, to be hosted by England and Wales, could lose more than £1million as a result of a Government order to the regional development agencies to slash spending ahead of their abolition."
In other words if it was not for a huge government subsidy the World Cup would be a huge flop!!
I have a new slogan World cup in England - paid for by tax layers at last a real contribution from the south!!
