The sad state of UK RL

[midlands hobo]

So i've decided to make my own thread so we can all laugh at the joke of the RFL.

On top of the previously mentioned Featherstone, Salford and Halifax collapses this last year. Barrow have today put out essentially a collection bucket asking the wider RL community to riase 5k (yes just five thousand) so they can play a 1895 cup game in London)
The 1895 cup is one of the minor cups for lower teams non SL. but barrow cannot afford the travel to London stay overnight and travel back.

Board update: Tuesday 17 February | Barrow Raiders

The game is gone in the uk, union going professional didn’t help the game. It will be back to part time for all the clubs in super league soon , there’s only Leeds can turn a profit due to the hospitality and hotel they have the rest are still running on pie and pea suppers. Bradford got promoted because Salford went broke . Bradford have been broke 4 times and bailed out by the RFl , they get full super league payments while York and toulose get half of that after finishing 1st and second. Nigel wood got the sack from the RFL once and is now top dog again on $400k a year . After making sure his former club ( Bradford) got in super league .
