You are quite correct - it would (as would their win in 2013) - Doh - that will teach me to rely on my memory.
Though no club would have fulfilled the average home crowd of 2500 for the years 2011-2013 FWIW.

Don't worry, Dave. I won't.

The Batley game was 2010 and so counted to the franchising for 2008-2010, which some might suggest was rigged in the favour of Widnes, not the 2011-2013 period, which would have counted towards the 2014 franchising.

Rich,
So would Leigh have have meet the criteria to apply for a franchise in 2014, if the franchising system had still been in place then?

| Exactly.
How can any of us say what arrangements Leigh would have proposed in the franchise application they didn't compile ?

However we do know, since they didn't meet the criteria of having 2,500 average attendance in a season, which was part of the criteria, which meant they couldn't apply. So by definition your assertion that Leigh could have been in SL two years earlier doesn't hold true.
However all of this just deflects from your initial point that it was easier to be promoted under the Franchise system, which is plainly not true.

Dog, bone, Dave.
Maybe they'd've given free tickets to all the school kids in the area for the last game and counted them whether they came or not.
Who knows ?
