Glad to see we are a valued part of RL in your opinion
Maybe the 70 odd footy teams outside the premiership should look to do the same with the Man Utd's of this world
Or maybe you are just a tool'"
I do value the Championship. I do not value some of the people that are associated with them unfortunately. The guy that I originally quoted seemed to not see how having quality young players in your team instead of superleague drop outs would benefit the Championship. Championship teams have been saying for years that Superleague teams have forgotten about them and do not want to include the Championship in their plans. Well now they have and people are stilllll moaning.
What needs to happen is the teams/administrators/fans of Championship teams need to value the competition rather than just wanting to get out of it and into Superleague.
Quote: Starbug "If a player doesn’t make it in SL they tend to wind up at a Championship side, unless they opt to return to the amateur game.'"
Good point. But a lot of Academy/Second Team players do tend to fall through the cracks due to them not getting any first team experience at their SL club. There is a big gap between 2nd team and 1st team. Moving to a Championship team for a couple of seasons will allow young players to establish themselves at the club. Even if they do not gain a Superleague start they are more likely to make it at championship level as they have established themselves in their placement team. That is much better than if they had spent 4 years in the A team and then disappearing as no one has heard of them.

One of the reasons I come on here is to get on other fans nerves. It is just a bit of friendly banter. In your case I have obviously succeeded
