Ra ra played much more widely both at grass roots and professionally.
So proportionally we probably recieved a greater proportion.
Plus the profile of our respective codes ate differently aligned.

Ralph Rimmer just said all ten super league clubs in England took money out of the first 16 million in loans

You’re not far wrong, perhaps most of it went to Bradford Bulls, to finance their application for the 12th team to SL. Odsal upgrade won’t come cheap :roll:

RU is mostly community run apart from the top league. I bet most of the cash won’t touch the top flight. Unlike ours which will be used yet again to prop up the bottom clubs.

They also get far more coverage and have arguably a better product at the moment too. Gone are the days of stop start Rugby, that seems to be SuperLeagues problem at the moment.

I like both but dismiss RU at your peril if they can engage local youngsters (at school level) then they could suddenly have the pick of local talent.

Some sports were given money and RL were loaned the money to pay back. All clubs took it and if guess they would like it to be written off.

Also regarding the bigger amount going to the Rah-Rahs, it is a sport played in every corner of Britain, unlike ours

Rugby league at some level is played all over the U.K. and top level Union has its geographical weaknesses too

Probably. I thought your point was geography not volume. Apologies for my mistake

Whereas now there is no comparison between the two financially, the EnglishRFU as an entity rakes in £33 million a year in sponsorship from multinational corporations,the next world cup in France €60 million and counting and that's without TV rights. Clubs at grass roots level receive grants and funding......different world.

A friend of mine is very involved in running a community RU club in County Durham
His view is that the RFU is doing its best to disown and defund the amateur game with very little central funding coming in. Interesting.
