Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

Its never ever going to happen and the RFL would mess up trying anyway.

Look at the RFL now, they admit Celtic Crusaders into Superleague, then you think good a local team for the Millenium weekend. But no we will change it and get everyone playing at Murrayfield instead.

For a stadium of 75000 you are talking a minimum of £120 million anyway, the RFL could cough up about 2 million, so the rest is just a pipe dream.

Wembley is a weekend trip to most RL fans and always will be, who would want to spend the weekend in Manchester, Huddersfield or Wigan on an annual basis :shock:

Tbf i've always thought of Wembley as our national stadium and i think they should house the Internationals there but is it really 10 years since we last played and international there? That’s appalling!


We've certainly not played any since it reopened. And we used to get good crowds. Unfortunately, in the interim, two many people seem to have adopted the RU/BBC insult of "a small regional sport" as fact.

It is something to boast about if it works for the sport who own it. Can't see how it can't be?


The point I was making though is there is nothing to gain by having something to boast about. It will be something for people on message boards only, it would have no value to the game or the RFL.

People do not follow or support sports on the basis of whether they own their own stadium. It will not make sponsors or TV companies pay more, it will not make casual sports fans take more notice.

Also if your playing in a comp like the 6 nations it's a massive plus point if teams don't like the play their as it gives you and advantage doesn't it?


That is nothing to do with who owns the stadium but simply home advantage of having tens of thousands of fans all supporting the same team.

It is also worth nothing than Italy, Germany, and Spain do not have national stadiums but their soccer teams have all been pretty successful.

Michael.

Was there not talk a few years ago now when Leeds United were really in the mire (Premiership days with the £130million Debt) of the RFL buying Elland Road and moving its HQ there?

Wasnt Wembley designed with rugby league in mind aswell as football? that is our national home as much as it is the England football teams.
