1.8 million if you go up, 800k parachute payment if you go down...there's your million quid! You're welcome.



Coulda, shoulda, woulda......won't!

fantastic branding. "the million pound game which isn't for a million pounds but roughly a million pounds between the minimum and maximum you might get". I wonder if they got Martin Sorrel on that one.

Besides, that's not even the case is it? its the team who finished top of the championships that gets £788k not the loser of" the game for an indeterminate amount of money, but money isn't the actual prize promotion is"

As far as I understand it, ANY team relegated from SL to the Championship (unless booted out for going tits up etc..) gets the parachute payment of about 800k. Sky cash for SL sides is 1.8 million next year, so that's where they got the 1 million figure from.
I agree, it's "tentative" at best and god help them if it's London at Home to Salford come the time......2,000 maximum in a game neither owner gives a damn about, given that a Million is loose change to both of them!


As it stands, Salford are in need of a win against Hull FC or they could be out of the top 8 reckoning before March......every game counts remember

He's probably had enough at the Red Devils with the amount of money he's put into the club.
My moneys on a new coach.

The Bradford chairman is a scamp:

Brilliant.

Comedy Gold....

Someone mentioned a parachute payment. I do not think that applies. It was only this season as the reduction in SL was a late addition. Now clubs know the score they are expected to plan for it I think by having better contracts that fit into the new structure better. I could comment about Smokeys comments but it really isn't worth it, he just posts more if you do

There is a parachute payment made to any team relegated normally from super league. The difference in funding between the team going up and the one coming down is 1 million pounds.......that's where they got the name for it.

That [uis[/u very good.
