I thought it was very interesting on boots n all that the Widnes chairman gave alot of focus on their licence app to the youth development that the club had done and that this was very important to the RFL. Halifax's mentioned their stadium and community work but nothing about youth system and this is where I think they are weak.

Yes we all know we fail on the stadium side but other than that IMO we are stronger in all other areas. If we get kicked out purely on the stadium then the whole process is a farce (which we know it is anyway) and we may as well not play against each other on the field but have the final league table listed in order of nicest stadium !!

I disagree

P&R between different comps at different levels (professional and semi pro; or semi-pro and amateur) doesn't work and only damages clubs.

P&R within a comp, between different divisions at the same level does. I look forward to the day when we have enough clubs strong enough to be fully professional that we can look at introducing two divisions with P&R. But I think that's a good few years off yet.

I rest my case , I'm sure the pie fans will remember being there tonight , for the rest of their lives

Emotion is why we watch live sport

But they've nothing to play for. If they win the SL GF they don't get to be promoted to another competition, they just get to do it all over again. Just like teams in the Championship. Or teams in the Rugby League Conference National Division. In fact the only teams with anything to play for in your world are those in Championship 1. By rights, that should be the only compeition booming.
Mind if teams do win that and get promoted, then they've nothing to play for.

Well strangely in every sport you will eventually reach the peak , where you are correct , you cannot go any higher , and yes you are correct , that does apply in the amateur game as well , But that wasn't the point being made was it ?

You completely ignored that as usual
