[iBetfred Championship and League One, 2024-26 - summary
2024
The top six in the Betfred Championship will compete in a Play-Off series as in previous seasons, with additional prize money on offer for the winners of the Grand Final – which will be played on the weekend of October 19-20.

The team finishing top of Betfred League One will secure automatic promotion to the Championship, with the bottom two teams in the Championship relegated to League One.

Teams finishing second to sixth in League One will then compete in a Play-Off series, with the winners then facing the 12th-placed team in the final Championship table to determine the 13thposition in the 2025 Championship.

An application process will be launched for a new club to join League One in 2025 – with the RFL Board to make a decision in September.[/i

When you put it like that it's scary, but true. I've watched a few game this season where for all the world it looked like some of our players weren't even trying. I never thought i would say, or see that. I keep saying that a chain is only as good as it's weakest link and this team certainly has more than a few weak links. We are in a dangerous place and as GFB says there are only half a dozen players who i would personally keep if we can stave off relegation.

JWH,Inman,O’Brien,Jouffret,Douglas,Lannon,Crookes..That’s my 7 if they’ve not already gone.Add the 3 re-signs for continuity I suppose but they’d go as well if I was building a proper grand final challenging side...

Pretty much same thinking here except I would swap Lannon out and keep Calcott and Im not fussed about keeping Inman.

Think it's all just the tip of a huge iceberg imo. Looks like several other clubs are really struggling off the pitch. Haven for example are getting some pretty dire crowds. Just over 300 against Toulouse. I can see them going belly up before the season's out.

The team finishing top of Betfred League One will secure automatic promotion to the Championship, with the bottom two teams in the Championship relegated to League One.

Teams finishing second to sixth in League One will then compete in a Play-Off series, with the winners then facing the 12th-placed team [i.e. 3rd bottom] in the final Championship table to determine the 13thposition in the 2025 Championship.
