Thanks for letting me know that, aj

I'm sorry but, with the current set-up, I (unfortunately) can't see this happening (despite the fact that I would); that's why I feel that every Championship club should realise this fact - that the existing Super League clubs don't want to admit any other club from outside 'the priveliged few'?



OK, the RFL have taken-over our lease on Cougar Park, but how much assistance do they provide to the Championship clubs in general?



How much coverage does the Championship get from even local media? Radio Leeds were so obsessed with the Northern game, and recaps of the other Super League games, last night that they completely ignored the Halifax v Cougars game and didn't even give the result! They didn't give any other Championship results!



Then they have the audacity to say:







when we are forced to pay their salaries whatever they do, despite what they say!



Don't even mention Tanya Arnold and Gobbie Paul! They make me sick, and James Deighton isn't too far behind!



So where was the coverage last night?



It was all at Sodal and their attempt to retain their Dooper League licence!

Had the Rhinos game on in car afterwards.



Radio Leeds ignored everything outside super league.

BBC Look North and Calendar both completely ignore rugby league outside the Super League.



I think it is ridiculous that they never read out the scores or make people aware of upcoming fixtures in the two divisions below the Super League.

How much has the club targeted the local media?



How many press releases do we send to the media a week?

How many press releases did the club send out about this game?



The press are desperate for stories to fill there pages. To promote any business promotion has to be done. You cannot expect people to come looking for it.



Have we asked, Tanya Arnold or anyone else from the media to come to a game as a guest?



If not, why not.



Just asking someone to come along isnt enough. Also ask them to bring there kids along.

Then once at Cougar Park give the kids free shirts and a pack with Cougar goodies in. A meal in the top room get the parents drunk on free beer. Make it a day to remember.



Just sitting back and blaming everyone else is a deeply flowed argument.

It would be nice to have a new ground. But we have to make do with what we have got.

I can remember years ago there was talk about moving down to Marley and useing the old Keighley RU ground

and building up from there.

As for building a ground at the end of Coney Lane, it would be in the wrong place.

No we have not got the money for a new one.

Super League Show always show Championship and Championship 1 results however not sure if they show fixtures.

They might SHOW the results but they never pass any comments!



Tanya Arnold and Harry Gration simply ignore the Championship clubs.



I once wrote to the 'Media Officer' af the RFL and his comments were to the effect that 'Well why should they? Does the BBC give any coverage to the lower divisions of the football league?' - Well. yes they do and they even give coverage to the Blue Square clubs. So what's the difference?



And, perhaps 'Bulls Boy' can explain what his club have contributed to the development of the game and why Northern and their current Board should be supported by (apparently) supporters of every other Super League Club?

If I were a Widnes fan, I'd be gutted that my Chairman gave the Bulls £10,000 the day before they stuffed us. If any team in SL needs money spending on it, it's Widnes.

Come on, you're being a bit unfair there, he's only making a comment.

Considering that Widnes have just parted company with Moore, maybe it was just a down payment on Diskin
