bought one even though the process was horrible and I've rarely felt less enthused about a new season. Just hoping that my loyalty is rewarded wirh a bit of positive news to lift the current feeling of doom and gloom

Things change every season, it's all a shambolic mess. It won't be long before the likes of Cornwall and Newcastle throw the towel in leading to yet another lower league restructure.

On another note, it will be interesting if Toulouse beat Wakey but Wakey then get promoted on IMG status. How bonkers would that be, the losers running round the pitch at the end celebrating promotion?

I've heard that Cornwall could be relocating to Bedford, who were one of the rejected applicants to join League 1

I don't think Wakey been promoted is a certainty. They seem to think it's nailed on, but this is RL, Would not surprise me in the slightest if they put Bradford up.

IMG have stated that one of their aims is to have a 14 team SL. This was put out around the time the gradings first appeared. Bradford, strangely enough, somehow cropped up in 14th position. Lol!

Slightly touching on this, I see some of the London Broncos supports have set up a funding page. They don't reckon they'll not make it through the off season now David Hughes has pulled funding.

The statement I read from the club a couple of days ago stated that the club was up for sale and debt free - but I guess with no other income and an empty bank account.

From what i understood, London reckon they need 900k to operate next season, but need £350k within a month or so to allow them to start signing players. Make commitments that are needed etc.

Doubt they will be the last to admit they're needing cash. Do have to wonder what is going on behind the scenes at a lot of clubs. I'd imagine most are one letter away from a crisis
