Quote: Starbug "]NO
Vitually impossible without a clear path to promotion
Never happen , the BBC/ITV will not waste money on second class sport with nothing to play for in their eyes
A lot of hard work and a total different outlook to what we presently have , also they have to work outside the control of the RFL , unfortunatley they are too stupid to realise that and the RFL know it'"
thats not true at all.
Sky are investing money into NL1 and 2 with no real promotion from NL1 into SL. its up to NL1 and 2 clubs to build themselves up to be able to draw decent crowds and get good numbers watching them on TV.
promotion into SL should be about more than just on field success and look at things like finances, juniors etc.
the way the RFL have done franchising is brilliant as it still allows good NL1 clubs into SL provided they deserve it
