The Challenge Cup needs revitalizing. I slate the game to wake people up from the mess it's in.
Your a poster on a forum, slating the game does not wake anyone up, constructive comments and people,e getting involved does. Do you coach, encourage anyone to enjoy the sport? Not from what I see only negativity, that drives more people away than towards
You just have to look at the lack of participation at amateur level to realise from the bottom up, we are struggling. Early age groups are massively up on 30 years ago, I k ow from direct experience. Look at Newcastle, new markets and new players, around 1500 players now and growing
No grass roots, no pro game. End of story. And creating more change at the top achieves that? No it doesn't, look at the amateur game, look at what people are doing
And please don't call me out for being all "hot air." I don't really like my credibility brought into question. You'll find more agree with me than agree with you on this. Because people agree with you or not does not make your view right, lots of people can be wrong, facts are what proves right from wrong not a vote. If you need posters to validate your opinion maybe your not as co ride t as you wish to appear
Me not putting any more money into the sport is no loss to the sport? Please explain because I am really struggling to understand your logic on that one. There are hardly a flock of supporters queuing at the turnstiles to replace the money I put in, no matter how insignificant you see my contribution as being to the sport[I]because losing one negative supporter who is driving others away by slating the game all the time will make it easier for true supporters of the sport to encourage new people along who will enjoy the game
