Funny how you get more answers when you put your sponsors hat on!

The latest:

Northern Rail fixtures will be released early next week

Championship fixtures [b]might not be released until mid january[/b]

The reasons being that the RFL are awaiting sound assurances from clubs in "all three leagues" that they can meet their commitments" I guess this would mean Crusaders, Keighley and Wales United.

THe words brewery, up and p15s spring to mind

Hope not has the season will kick off the last week in jan

Sorry Crusaders fans, well not that sorry being honest never agreed with you lot being in SL anyway, but a club growing organically and living within its means from Championship 1 - like London Skolars is the way forward.

That dosent make sense. You claimed that there are not enough juniors to go round two clubs in Wales. But now your saying it can't be proved?

No and neither can I prove that the figures quoted are untrue either.
Your point is that you question what I am saying so you accept the figures with 'blind faith' then???

I don't, PR is all about spin, I could go out if I had the money and get loads of kids to play a sport with the right marketing, its keeping them that is the hard part, Moms and Dads push their little Johnny or whatever to play sport when they are little and do things with them until they get to about 14 or 15, then they seem to stop as the kids want to play on their Wii or can't be bothered any more.
