The clock is well and truly ticking now, with the decision being announced in exactly 4 weeks from today.

Does anyone know at what time, and in what format the announcments are going to be made? Is it going to be a hand delivered letter to the club? or will be one of those moments where everyone in the RL community will be glued to the PC, TV or Radio waiting for their clubs name to be mentioned and given a license?

We don't even have a day. The RFL said they will announce not before the 26th of July. Having said that, they have said that it will be July. superleague.co.uk/page.php?id=375 So a fairly small window for them.

I suspect it will be 10AM, all in front of the TV for the announcement.

It brings up images of WWII films where everyone was gathered around the radio for the news we had declared war!

Where will sky know where to send the cameras though? Unless they know beforehand

Camera at Wakey and Cas or a fast car stationed at Normanton.

In an ideal world there would be 8 sets of cameras. One for each of the C grade clubs, but of course this isn't an ideal world, it's the RFL!

This is true and a sad reflection of the RFL. Other than the applications for Wakey and Cas (and possibly Salford, Quinns & Crusaders) the rest, at the most, MAY have been given a cursory glance
Most will have been shoved in a cupboard. That is the sham of this process.

So it shows the inadequacies of the RFL to be unable to fix an actual date and time rather than try and give the impression that it is such an arduous task to pick the team to be booted out !! The whole RL world knows that unless they commit hari-kari, all the expansion clubs will get the nod and Salford have a stadium being built. So that only leaves Cas or Wakey.

IMO the announcement will be on Radio Leeds at 10am on the 26th July and cameras and mikes will be at Cas and Wakey. That's the only two places where there will be any worthwhile 'news'. Oh, and the news will be good for Cas

Not for me, I'll be enjoying Copenhagen and relying on texts from people back home to let me know lol!

strong rumour league extended to 15 teams, and no one out.

Take it you havent seen this then
"Despite rumours the governing body may bottle out and increase the size of the competition to 15 clubs next year – the incumbents, plus Widnes – chief executive Richard Lewis has made it clear that will not happen and one club will lose their licence next month"

Where is that quote from?

No doubt the same place that rumour keeps coming from - Wakefield!

that particular quote wouldn't benefit wakefield, because if 1 team is likely to go, it's them!

As a Wildcats fan I would be gutted if Wakefield or Cas went out of SL....the bitter rivalry is fantastic for both sets of fans...I have friends & family that support the tigers and we would all miss the banter.
I hope both clubs stay in...there you can say I supported Cas for once...Hope it goes well for you lot.
