A darn sight more than the trolls on here that's for sure.
When backed by significant funds Newcastle playing as Gateshead came fifth in Superleague in 1999 winning 19 of their 30 matches, 6,600 for Bradford.
Kurdi is a multi-£Millionaire and has developed a sizeable player development system that could go on top of that sort of performance. If people want expansion that is it.
If Kurdi is ignored when Argyle got flagged all the way into Superleague with his phoney club and couldn't care less attitude, then you can safely say expansion is dead. What more do so called "expansionists" want?
Do post more........
Oh dear.When Gateshead parachuted a squad of players from Australia into Super League people like yourself were very critical of them.
The incompetent and inept governing body,at that time,wanted to rescue a M62 club,so Gateshead were swallowed up by Hull FC.
You do recall your comments about the other code in Canada? Well Kurdi owns a union club and the much maligned Argyle has spent more,over the past 3/4 years on rugby league, than Kurdi has.
You will need another private conversation with Lenagan to gain the support for Thunder.With Mick Hogan being on Tyneside there may be a slight chance.There again,with the money invested into Bradford by the governing body there may be opposition.
The M62 folk really have given the sport the air of respectability.The decisions in 2020 continue to make the sport a laughing stock.
How will the attendances improve in 2021?
