The thing is, with the £16 million, it's a loan and until there is a way out of the "lockdown" for the sport and some way is found to play RL, a loan on top of accrued losses, just compounds the loss.

It's great that a fund is there that clubs may be able to access and it COULD help some clubs but, the big question for all of us is, how on earth can we play RL in front of paying spectators ??

It may be a loan but it's a lifeline thrown to the sport by the government, god knows how the people at war within the game will use it is anybodies guess, as a taxpayer and especially a none sports lover whichever your political leanings are would you prefer it to be a gift, there are a lot of people out there with far less income than the sporting heroes that are sat at home and are itching to get back playing which ever sport it is because they're bored, there are people without any income at all what would love the chance to work to feed their families and pay the bills without compounding their increasing losses, sport is not the be all and end all it's insignificant compared to what's going on around the world, I watch Wakefield, Barnsley fc, and Yorks cc but put into prospective at the moment they mean absolutely nothing against everything else what's going on.

Typo should say "and" but thanks for pointing out





Not missed your point and. I totally agree with the point on sport



There are different reasons as to why the death rates are higher in those countries, which if they hadn't taken the measures they'd took would have been far worse. The Uk will overtake all of these and we've supposedly got one of the best health services in the world.



Anyway, back to the OP, this is a loan and RL will need to generate extra income once all this is over to pay it back. Let's hope theres a plan in place to address this

Amongst this terrible time, we still all have our cross(es) to bear mate.....

Some are heavier than others

Really?







I could dissect the whole diatribe, but it all adds up to the same thing, Vastman smugly declaring socialism defunct now the all-compassing Tories have smashed the class system.



If he'd wanted to talk about the loan, there was already a thread about it!

He made it political when he suggested that a Labour government under Corbyn would not have provided such a loan based on what, his own views not in fact.
