best thing fax can do is win the championship 3 years running, showing we are the best team outside super league! With our up to date stadium and prize money to strengthen the squad at all levels. The box is ticked so lets show the rfl why we should be in super league!

Unfortunately, as nice as that might be, that would still leave 9 other possible contenders. 2 x NR Cup places x 3 years, and 1 x Grand Final Runner Up places x 3 years. Add to that the RFLs ability to change the rules as and when they want, and all it adds up to is giving the club a much needed boost in the local area.

The RFL will decide who's going up, make no mistake about it!

The licence bids have to be in halfway through 2011 so its only this season and next that counts really. And you have to win the NR cup to be able to bid.

No you don't, do you ?

Yes.

When will the day come when traditional s/l relegation, promotion returns?

The day when super league clubs stop voting on licencing and look to introduce promotion and relegation and share out the sky money for the good of the many rather than the few.

So, er, never then

Think that post means getting in the final isn't enough, not that a club has to win it to apply.

You lot simply arent good enough in that league. We all saw what happened to Celtic and they were far superior to you lot

Were they though? They did have a lot of help getting there. You'll soon be crying when the RFL change the rules for them and they end up finishing above your club. Don't pretend you wont

Maybe, I doubt it.
Halifax's biggest problem is the lack of western clubs.
Only Wire/Saints/Wigan/Salford, the latter I reckon will be dropped.
I dont think H'fax really will come in until either wakey/cas get dropped or its a 16 team league plus
