I love RL, but my god it has possibly the thickest fan base in sport (and i include some of our own after seeing some of the rubbish Leon got tweeted). Of course the RFL decided on Sunday that lets change the entire structure just to get Bradford up. Even though we still have a reasonable chance of finishing top. In 3 days it's virtually signed and sealed and agree by all clubs. The RFL aren't quick at doing ANYTHING.

Yup. The timings of the announcements, the pricing of the tickets, everything.
Some said it was presumptuous at the time, but perhaps not?

To be fair, people were insistent last year that Chalmers must know something about not getting relegated when advertising season tickets and such. Then nothing ever materialsed on that front and the club were relegated after all, suggesting there was either no "insider knowledge" or whatever it was fell through.

I'm not getting my hopes up until it's completely passed through and confirmed by the RFL. Those in the know appear to state that it is all but confirmed and should be completed within 7 days.

What other 'professional' sport changes the rules 3/4 of the way through a season?! Absolutely farcical from the RFL but we should benefit from these last minute changes.

Unless, of course, we win and York lose next matches and then we will find the new structure is not signed off.

Let's wait to see what's actually decided officially before partying too hard.

Love this. If only in order to see the ensuing meltdown from Halifax if we get promoted in second place.

Don't forget the Keighley and Wakefield meltdows too.

Apparently the Bulls will be promoted but will have a 6 point deduction for not qualifying as champions.

RFL's pets. It's been a while.

Took exactly four posts on the thread on Total RL forum

Genuinely surprised it took so long

you lucky sods. RFL own your ground, and now this.

I don`t think we were lucky sods when the RFL decided a new club should not start with a clean slate in League 1 (as we should have) but take 12 point deduction and stay in the championship with a team of kids.

I assume you've been in a coma between these two events then?

Medical assistance is available for this you know?
