Like Halifax taking you to a Challenge cup golden point in 09 & Barrow Beating you in it last year ?. Poor do if championship teams are turning over a team in the Super League, especially the highly prestigious Challange Cup.

Trot on fella !!!

Having more M62 teams to SL will add nothing to paper interest, TV interest or fan interest outside that area = less revenue = less publicity = more young talent going to other sports or, god forbid, yawnion = decreasing standards, and so on. I would favour a further French team & a Cumbrian team to go with Quins, Cats & Crusaders, & would protect them as long as it is feasible. If that leaves 8 or so M62 teams who apply for licences as they do now then fine. If Cas then lose out to Fax, leigh, Widnes or Blackpool then they will only have themselves to blame.

Is any of the SL teams mentioned were playing the non-SL teams 10 times I know where I would safely bet my money.

Quote: bcfc bradford "Hi all,

who do you think willl go down into the championship this year, and who will go down?

Also, what are your views on the current licence system,
for me its pointless, i mean whats the point in bringing a team to SL when at the end of the season they end up with 5 wins max,and have crowds of less then 3k? (The welsh joke and the clowns down sarf ) they will then be in SL for years to come because it ' expansion '. Expansion my rear end ! Crusaders and the quins offer nothing to this league, therefore they must be kicked out to allow teams like widnes and halifax in, bring back the simple relegation and promotion i say. Sorry for all the grammar and spelling mistakes i have inevitability made

Minus their two matches in Neath, the Crusaders averaged over 5,000, better than Salford and not far off Wakey if I recall correctly, and that is with the club only being in Wrexham for one year, plenty of heartland clubs have had around a century to develop their fan bases and their stadiums. As for Quins, the question was put to someone at the RFL and it's been emphatically stated that 'without London, I don't think we'd have Sky'. Sky never wanted a Yorksire & Lancashire league, hence when SL was started the plan was for several expansion teams to be included. Incidentally Halifax's attendances in Superleague were abysmal , so if you want to include them at the expense of London then you better be prepared to watch a semi-professional 'Superleague' with all our best talent heading off to Union.

What do you mean so called expansion team? They ARE an expansion team. As I have already said, it has been stated by an RFL official that 'without London, I doubt we would have Sky'. Are you willing to watch a semi-professional Superleague with a significantly reduced profile for the sake of seeing Halifax in SL in place of London? (the same Halifax who got lower crowds than London).

quins crowds are pathetic , rugby is poor, offer nothing. if you want expansion the RFL should set clubs up in places like bath, maybe newcastle, that would be the wildcard, lots of people= big fan base, potentialy big crowds, same for london but that potential never materialised.

Why carnt rugby be like football all over the country? Why does it have to be like 'M62'?

It would attract alot more supporters
