I already have decided in my head we are going down and I will be visiting some new grounds next year.

IF there is to be any change to league structures, I'm sure it will be announced, in true RL fashion, just before the season starts - though not too late to muck up the fixture lists, of course..

I would say nothing today, with chance of bad news tomorrow or Friday..

I'd say mathematically we are down now, so we need an RFL miracle and I wouldn't count on them for anything.

If we are in C1 next year however I will still go and support the club if the performance's warrant been watched...

We have to have uncertainty...otherwise we may sign up our better players for next season and allowing that and a full pre-season means a season of almost normality for us.

Does the meeting today actually carry any weight? Serious question...

I mean, the chairman can have as many meetings as they like (I'm sure it's good for the expenses budget) but if they don't have the power to effect change, then it's all a bit pointless anyway.

My guess is the chairman get together and (with an eye on their bank balance) come up with a plan for no relegation this year. This get's communicated to the RFL who say, 'Nah....' and we get relegation confirmed when we lose the next couple of games.

Absolutely no mention of it from any of the RL journos on twitter. I'm starting to think we might have just imagined it all.

So we're not sure if there is a meeting or if they will decide anything or whether their decision will carry ant weight if they do decide anything. The only thing for definite is that this thread should be worth approx 50 pages.

There's a sense of deja vu right now....

No announcement until we hit page 50. Let's go.

I was just thinking, before I read your post, we should get over 50 pages on here before any news

Nothing is going to change. The Sky deal ends at the end of 2020 season. Increasing the numbers of Champ clubs from 12 to 14 will mean everyone gets a central funding reduction, unless the SL clubs vote to transfer more money
But, I'm sure from 2021 franchising will be back on the table, and you could name the 14 clubs now that would get into SL then....
We'll be back in SL then by our own efforts so it's all pointless

From Gareth Walker on twitterChampionship and L1 clubs met today. Understand possibility of expanding Champs in 2018 was NOT discussed. Clubs were told that any structural changes for Champs and SL for 2018 need to be evaluated by RFL board and haven't been yet. Clubs did vote on following for 2018

Beat me to it.

So according to that, nothing is changing this year. 2 teams will be relegated from the Championship.

Until its 'evaluated' by RFL board at end of season and clubs are told whats going to happen. nice little get out clause that.
