Watching rugby at our level is like waiting for a bus. : Sat May 08, 2010 2:46 pm  

You wait a month for a home game.......and then guess what? You wait another 3 weeks for the next one.
How the feck is that mean to generate and, more to the point, keep any interest?

At least at football you get a fairly even smattering of games.

Yes I know it's because of the cup and it's a result of going out to Siddal......but it is still crap when you're out and you don't get a game every fortnight at home.
And having an odd number of sides and a free week is also bolloxs and adds to the problem.
So you don't get cup revenue and to compound it you lose ordinary revenue as well due to interest falling off.

It's almost like not having a club to support.

No wonder we keep going bust.

Agree completely this division needs a thorough sorting out to give regular games to keep fans interested, unfortunately the RFL could not organise a night out in a brewery or care at all unless Super League clubs are affected.

It's no better in the Championship after Leigh play Widnes on Thursday they only have 2 home games before the beginning of August

The RFL couldn't give a crap about these leagues. I bet they spend an afternoon cobbling together these fixtures.

I would happily slap Harry Gration with a wet fish everytime he mentions loving Rugby League on the telly, but finds it too much to at least mention the National League fixtures on the Super League show.

Then again it is Look Leeds, and these would rather mention someone losing their cat in Roundhay rather than discuss something positive about Doncaster.
