Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.
Well I personally think 5000 for the FIRST EVER SL GAME is pretty average. You're missing my point. If they wanted this so badly there should have been 10000 plus (if the ground holds that many). Who knows whether we could do better, one things for sure we couldn't do any worse! As for your 'guarantee', I'll have a tenner says they don't get more than 7000 against Hull FC in 2011.

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!
