I don't and never did, they just do not have the bottle to do it I believe.
Think about it, the flak from us is probably only half of what they would get if they kicked a club out of SL, all hell would break lose.

Problem is they just cannot see what the repercussions for the game would be if there was never any P&R, the bottom few teams in SL would just not be bothered after say 2/3 of a season if they have no chance of getting into the play offs but also would have no threat of relegation. How many of their fans would bother going to the remaining matches??? Also how boring playing the same teams year in and year out, you can hear it nowcould be the future as what happens if all the clubs in SL get their grounds sorted out and this might be the case if Cas and Wakey do finally get things organised or if ever we or Leigh did actually get into SL next time somehow?

SCARY.

The strange thing about it for me is I was quite enjoying rugby in the Championship much more than the last couple of years in Super League anyway. I would not have been so bothered if it had been done honestly and we just did not measure up. But how can you measure up to teams that are geting far more to spend than we are it`s impossible.
To see the three from Red Hall not be able to answer a single question with any honesty makes my blood boil. Well I for one intend to keep asking the questions , I am working my way down the list of MPs that are in the Rugby League Comm and I urge you all to do the same.
Rugby League was formed by hard working northern men and whilst I know the game has to expand I don`t want to be made to feel ashamed of the games roots.
I for one hope our club and any other Championship Club does not sell any World Cup tickets , Wembley tickets or Grand Final tickets `cos I sure will not be buying any.

I can't see them doing no.

but then again they may not have to, the London dream isnt working and it will never work. its a football city and it always will be, we just have to wait for them to go out of business and be ready to take there place, i dont like to see any club go to the wall but in this case it might be the only way we get back in Super league so what other choice do we have but to want that to happen.

We need a backer, we need bigger crowds, and we need a current SL club to go bust (not just into Administration).

Other than that, we just need to enjoy our time in the Championship, and win as many games/comps as we can.

Sad but true, and tbh, we probably wouldn't have had the experience of going to three finals if we'd been in SL (although admittedly, the games in between would have had a little more spice).

If life was fair, we'd be playing in SL next season, but it's not, and we need to get on with it now. That does include a full and frank exchange with the RFL (who may be not the most competent, but not corrupt as many would like to think).

Onwards and upwards.

No, they will never relegate a club. You need a spine to do that and none of the slugs at Red Hall have one.

Seems to be increasing pressure on the three wise monkeys. Wouldnt surprise me if one of them became a sacrificial lamb in light of Crusader-Gate. Lewis for me as he looks the dumbest

Never gonna happen. They have no integrity, no honour. Pressure? The only pressure between the three of them is Woody's ever expanding gut.

Dunno. They might think its time to cut the weakest link and bring in somebody credible, Barry Mac perhaps, or Mr Carney ?

The rfl sent Rod Findlay to wales to sort out the financial problems,he work(S)ed for them before.He ,as CEO,was the one to say they were pulling out so there is your rfl scapegoat.Wrexham footie p[layers not getting paid either

Wasn't he previously involved @ Gateshead ?

Should Michael invite him to join the Fax board?

I've heard people saying that the RFL have confirmed that a Championship team would be promoted come next round of franchising. Does anyone have any printed proof of this? I haven't heard or seen it myself.

However the problem I have is the RFL give out these License grades of 'A', 'B' and 'C'. In their manefesto it says that an 'A' and 'B' license are granted a super league license by right. As a 'B' is more or less an 'A' but they need a bit more time to prove it. Therefore if all these teams that are at a 'C' currently get new stadiums and become 'B' license teams how will any Championship get in, if bearing in mind Widnes only got a 'C' license and they are in better shape then a lot of the other Super League teams.

Its easy no championship side will get in cos the rfl rules and criteria will change again.

The only way it will happen is if another team throws in the towel or the league is expanded but I believe that it will only be expanded to facilitate an 'expansion club'. Let's face it, none of the other criteria paticularly matter.

I couldn't give a rat's ass anymore. Let's just take it as read that no Championship club will get into SL from here on in, unless from outside the M62 corridor. Free our forum up 5.9091796875:5
