| Take the personality out of this and we are left with Leigh, Salford and Maybe Widnes, all struggling.
It does seem like the dream of SL is a very costly dream indeed and the games administration have made a right royal mess of creating a pathway into SL.
With some clubs overstretching themselves chasing the dream and others having to do likewise to prevent relegation, perhaps we should indeed "raise the drawbridge" once again.
In the three seasons of the current format, we have seen Bradford drop like a stone, Salford on the brink and now Leigh in trouble plus, Widnes struggling badly.
And the solution "found" by Big Nige, is/was to spread the jam ever more thinly and expand SL to N.America ??
You have to feel for Leigh's fans, who are undoubtedly passionate (if just a little too loud on occasion) but, nobody wants to see clubs going to the wall, there are few enough clubs to begin with.
What really irks here is that the guy who created the "every minute matters" nonsense has ridden off into the sunset, with a huge pay off and been gifted another overpaid role within the sport, its an absolute disgrace.

London hosting SL clubs at the West London wedding venue would be fantastic.... Especially on sky. Alas, I suspect that if they were promoted that they would have to move again......

They do a cracking burger down there though, far better than the Brentford burger.

The only ground in the UK with a pub on each corner is Griffin Park..... The Griffin pub is now a gastro bar..... I emigrated at the right time.
