Sorry for butting in your thread, however Fev have an Under 15's, 16's, 18's 23's, also a ladies team and a wheelchair rugby team.

If there is an area you need and must improve on it is the above. Apart from that, you should be awarded a license.

Good luck on the 26th, I hope you get in.

One of the criteria was an under 23 side. We have got an under 23 side.

Well it'll roll on until the 26th but personally I think that the announcement will come with the new SKY deal which will see an expanded SL with 16 teams in it and Fax being the extra team. The money guy at Wakey is not an idiot and I don't think he would have invested without a guarantee of SL rugby for next 3 years and I can't see them having the balls to kick anybody else out.
Our ground is fine for SL, the team would need to change and our yoof set-up would get a boost by not losing all the quality lads to other SL clubs as we would be able to provide the same opportunities.

What makes you think the other sl clubs will vote for this?.

If they increased sl to 16 clubs it would take £2.5 million a season out of the existing clubs coffers,can you honestly see that happening?.

Since when has what the clubs think, made any difference to what the RFL come up with ?

Because basically the Hetherington's in charge of two of the top sides financially will tell best mate Lewis' it's not on!

Things like the TV deal etc aren't voted on by the SL member clubs, aren't they?

I know what you mean j.c. but if it is part of SKY's offer then they may have no other choice if nothing else is on the table.
I really don't know who is in charge and who makes the crap decisions, is the SL decision supposed to be made by an 'independent' panel.
Who knows, it's all on a par with FIFA at times.

The only reason they're so far ahead on support is that Fax have been languishing in this non-entity of a league they call the Championship. Seriously think we would be way ahead of Cas with a three year head start.

Just can't see the powers that be giving us a sniff of a chance, but we can live in hope for the next 20 days...

Sky will make the decision.

Just to let all Fax fans know, drove past the Gal? Stadium (Huddersfield) and the Market Tavern where we all used to go has shut.
Not to mind, a brand new pub across the road "The Yorkshire Rose" has just been built.
Get more of us in there next season.

How will it be announced? is there an official do being held or what?

It'll be another Presidential style podium announcement by Lewis. Awful. Just awful.

I just dont see us in SL and personally think it's a closed shop. I think the next thing I'd like to get involved in is a trust meeting where us Championship clubs talk about a breakaway! We could just have something with that!!

A breakaway is a not starter Chris , collaboration on the other hand is a must if the Championship clubs are ever to get anywhere

A breakaway?
To where?
A sponsor?
Who? (see other thread about championship attendances)

I think you will find that next year with only Sky interested in Super league we have been "broke" away.

As Starbug says, best to try and work together.
