Quote: TrinitarianWF2 "I think a lot will be placed on league position over 3 years, they've got the gun on you so far.
As I said in an earlier post, the treats are much more diverse than lack of stadium, rather than be the "be all & end all" it was it could be just another nail for either of us. Reduction in numbers & expansion in France could be just as devastating as being removed for lack of progress with stadium issues.
If you want we have a range of new terrace roofs for sale, should be ready for delivery September 2014. It's about all we own on BV to be fair!'"
Like stadia, league position is one part of the criteria. Not only that, it is not based solely on one year.
Salford are having financial difficulties. They have today rejected a further loan of £750k. They have been served with a winding-up petition. They don't fill their stadia.
Cas comparatively although things have been tight, have been relatively fine financially. Although we lose money, we are not haemorrhaging it to the extent that other SL clubs are posting losses. We have a clear player pathway and bring youth through. We also contribute to England and England Knights. We have bigger attendances.
I firmly do not believe that licensing will continue and that we'll return to promotion and relegation. It could be that the clubs at the bottom of season 3 (i.e. 2014) are relegated, or it could be done like licensing on the top 12 teams. Either way, I still think we're in top 12 teams and had we started building new stadium we'd have been a grade B licence last time. We narrowly missed out on that aspect.
No one independent of WTWC's there.
Sarcasm aside I think they'll prosper at NM providing they continue to play well enough to keep the new/returning fans and tempt everyone to follow them almost outside the city limits.
