'Fax fan in Stockport: The jewel in the ring of Manchester

O/T Around 7,OOO Wigan fans stay at home. : Sun Sep 25, 2011 5:59 pm  
6,197 attendance today for their last home match, a play-off match. Crazy. That's got to hurt them in the wallet. Rethink needed of that format methinks.

PS: If Warrington pick anyone but Leeds I will eat my underpants. Broomhead looks like Eddie's Dad!

AM I RIGHT? I'M NOT WRONG!

Re: O/T Around 7,OOO Wigan fans stay at home. : Sun Sep 25, 2011 6:08 pm  
I think it shows how "unwilling" people are to pay on the day. Even season ticket holders don't bother. Our own play off attendances have been poor .... did we get our lowest crowd of the season last season against Sheffield? (about 1,400). But I think the attitude from the "lower clubs" in SL is that "hey we've reached the play offs" and they think that's their achievement and then give up. Like Hull KR last week. And Catalans tonight were awful. I got sick of hearing Stevo "covering for them" by saying "they were tired". He was saying that after 20 minutes!

Too many one-sided play off matches in all divisions.

I believe that the RFL get all play off monies don't they?
Thing is a top 8 play off sytem is too many it shoud be a top 5 or 6 at most, but we all know why the Fat Controller and his cronies have a top 8 don't we?
More games so more money in the pot and the main reason is so that the bottom clubs in SL have something to play for as there is no relegation. In other words justifying franchises once again the fools!
Oh and as for the 'clubcall' whats the point? If the proces was right the best would end up playing the worst anyway as a benefit of finishing higher up the table.

Agree Fax4life. However, the first thing Lewis said when announcing this years' successful licenses was "Licensing continues to be a success - removing the harmful days of P&R was the right thing to do".

The current regime will NEVER backtrack on that - no matter how much polish falls off the turd - they'd rather not U-turn on their policy and whilst the poor clubs in SL remain protected they'll not argue against this. Meanwhile, what should be a crescendo to the premier competitions' season ends up being an embarrassing damp squib.

Will the big clubs squeal?

Re: O/T Around 7,OOO Wigan fans stay at home. : Mon Sep 26, 2011 6:48 am  
Was thinking about this the other day.

There is no incentive for super league clubs to improve themselves any more. A play off place is fine if you're outside the big 4. If not, well the season is finished halfway through if not and if you finish bottom, so what? Do it without a fight eh? The fans are voting with their feet now!

Expanding the game should be done by the clubs. Why do we think premier league football clubs like chelsea tour asia pre season? Certainly not because the facilities are better out there or there will be better competition! Spend money to make money!

Its all too easy now for super league clubs. Cas handing in stadium plans on the back of a fag packet, wakey being poor on all the levels the RFL tell the super league clubs not to be poor on and crusaders making the obvious decision for the RFL.

There is a masterplan and no deviation from it. Comfort breeds complacency and I'm afraid that is what we are seeing now. I doubt the RFL's big man will have the ability to identify this before it's too late!

And where do the championships stand? Looking like we have enough money to get a team out every week, if we're lucky! Let's applaud the RFL for such an illustrious period in our history. Still at least everyone will be talking about richard lewis!

And Behold, a pale horse. And on his back his name was death.
