I'm sure there are many who would kick you lot out for the same reason, good job the decision won't be made by someone with just the one brain cell

you mean like the decision to not let FC play in a lower league, therebye forcing the merger with Gateshead, now, who made that call, do remind us......

really?

, promtion and relegation is not sustainable at the moment but im talking in 5 year or so years time when hopefully teams have developed more of the field such as cas, wakey ect

are you old enough to remember the Workington experiment which failed miserably?



Wakey will never develop off the field.

Certainly is or Hull would deffo be out

Not me, you deserved to go down and start again instead of being bailed out, but I don't think the decision was taken by an independent tribunal who are assessing written bids and business cases (except for Quins and Crusaders that is)

workington in super league was years ago when as a club they wasnt good enough off the field, do you remeber paris they failed but that hasnt stopped catalan has it. theres a huge passion for a cumbrian side in super league its a hotbed of rugby league where many good players have been developed but amagine what a full time team could do but the reason why its not really happend is because none of the 3 clubs have got good enough stadiums

There is a subtle difference between Paris and Catalan, its like comparing Quins and wigan, one is manufactured to play in a capital city while the other is a team from a long established RL playing area (hence the good attendances)

i know what saying and it want a great example but cumbria espcially west cumbria is a rugby league stronghold and hot bed but we just need 1 of the clubs to get new stadiums and they could be a huge success

there is NO passion in Cumbria, believe me, Whitehave will not go to Workington, Workington will not go to Barrow, and the geography of the place means it's 2 hours from Manchester to either.



fantasy land you live in arliebird, it's not down to stadia.



if you don't believe me, go as on the relevant boards about support for a combined team, the amateur game is strong, but they have no apetite for a SL side

i dont think the answer is a combined team at all but my opinon is that if either whitehaven or barrow could get a new stadia and build the club well of the field it would take a fair few years but 1 day there could be a super league team but its going to take a club hopefully barrow to get there acts together off the field

not going to happen, ever, you do know Barrow is a tiny place with nearly 40% unemployment, don't you?
