Best thing is for the RFL to fund them till the end of the year pos with a ground share at doncaster if its cheaper, allowing them to complete all their games and it wont screw up the 8's.

Might make the games more interesting as the players will be fighting for another club.

Except that it really doesn't make a lot of sense at all. This isn't about being pro/anti expansion or anything like that, it's about having a competition with clubs that are commercially viable. I don't care whether the sport is played in Wakefield or Winnipeg, as long as it can be entertaining, can thrive and can grow.

The situation at York stems from a range of issues, but particularly disputes with the local council, the local football club and financial challenges - all issues that the current owner has decided he doesn't want anything to do with any more. If the owner of a club decides to walk away in those circumstances, I fail to see how this could possibly be interpreted as "the RFL letting clubs die".

I also don't think it's really the RFLs place to start getting heavily involved in how clubs, privately-owned commercial interests at the end of the day, are run. The RFL's remit is to provide a sporting structure in which these clubs can operate. Beyond that, it's down the the clubs. It's certainly not, in my view, the RFL's place to act as some sort of bail-out fund.

I hadn't thought of that option. What's the chances - has it been done before ?

It made perfect sense to me. I can only speak (type) for myself.

Would it not be easier for the RFL to allow special dispensation to allow York to play their remaining 3/4 home matches at Heworth who have also offered use of their ground, keeping them within the city and allowing potential local businessmen to come and view the club? A 90 mile round trip to Doncaster to play the remaining games won't help things.

Play at Heworth, see if any players are willing to play for pride, bulk out the squad with players on loan from York Acorn until the end of the season and take things from there.

You're utterly deluded.

You and your cronies have been telling us how to run the game since SL began - in that time we have achieved virtually nothing despite having an income stream people like David Oxley could only dream about.

You've had your chance, you get proved wrong on a weekly basis but you NEVER admit you are wrong. May I suggest you zip it and let people who really know and care about the game get on with it and sort out this mess before it dies on it's feet.

You do realise that if Sky ever lose interest in our sport the game is virtually over and those clubs with the least chance of surviving are in fact your beloved flagship clubs.

And here is another on right on cue, the we know better than anyone else brigade - well you don't.

Like the fact that you don't get sarcasm.

It's the lowest form of wit but the highest form of intelligence - his comment is not fit for purpose on either regard.
