| Quote M@islebugs="M@islebugs"There is that but there's also the point of whether the comp is sustainable with numbers of teams whose average gate is that area.
Is there a realistic chance that with the resources they have and are likely to have that they will strengthen sufficiently to be competetive within 2-3 years? Would the pressure send those clubs backwards instead of forwards?
There's lots of posters saying our inclusion is a fait accompli when a rational view might be that there isn't another option.'"
Thats like saying that you are bigger than comp!

I'd probably agree at this moment. It depends whether you view the strength of the competition as a whole as the priority or some petty small town, envious, vindictive, shallow mentality as the priority.

No, it's saying the comp as a whole is bigger and better with the Bulls in it. Whereas the liklihood is without a significant investor in those clubs, the SL would be lesser and smaller if the Bulls were replaced.
The worst case scenario is that the clubs are not competetive and gates fall. There are precedents for this. The very best possible outcome is that they get 5-6k and compete in the bottom 6 indefinitely.

| A ' mini licencing process ' is quite simply a total and complete waste of time , the ' New ' Bulls will use the ' Old ' Bulls attendances and stature within the game as the reason to remain , any projected business plan by any Championship club will be viewed as ' Speculative '
A total farce , the Championship clubs should collectively decline to participate

No, it's not the same. the Bulls have 10000 fans Fev, Leigh and Fax have circa 2000. The Bulls have around 15-20 contracted Super League players, Fev, Leigh and Fax don't have any.

| My money's on all the time put in to going pointlessly round the same fscking circle over and over again rather than some sort of fruitful endeavour of the kind you'd imagine people with a clue getting themselves involved in.

Because those 10k fans paid b0g all for season tickets. There will not be so many next season when they have to pay full price and the team, with reduced budgets, are loosing more than they win.
That said, o am sure they have more "core" fans than the championship clubs have.

I paid £127 for my season ticket sunshine. That may be less than elsewhere, but it is hardly bog all.

I think you've got mixed up. I haven't got into any mess.
The people who were running the club were wholly incompetent. You'll be relieved to know we've got different people running it now.

I really don't understand peoples insistence that this mess is all the fault of the fans for buying cheap season tickets?
When you go into Topshop to buy a new dress in the sales, do you pay the price on the ticket or do you pay more? I bought my season ticket at the price that it was offered at. The people running the club at the time assured the fans that the club was financially sound and that the scheme was a new marketing initiative. How exactly are the fans to blame for buying into it?
