Just out of interest, does anyone know when the RFL are announcing the second new Championship one team for 2013 as they were planning to announce one a month. Seems a while since Northampton were announced?

Have you ever heard of the term ' Best laid plans of men and mice ' ?

What the RFL announce one day , alters the next , especially when it comes to the Championships , we're still waiting for the official formatt of a competition we are playing in this season

No, but have heard the term "The best-laid schemes o' mice an 'men", as crteated by Robbie Burns.

What does ' crteated ' mean ?

Pay attention and proof read ,com

It's not gonna happen, is it!?

Good thread this.

They were probably going to announce Bristol next but the bid has split over whether to play in Bristol or Gloucester. Why they don't prioritise a more established amateur side like Coventry Bears I don't know. They're keeping announcing Hemel til last in case they don't have a suitable ground in place I believe.

Thought medway were a shoe in?

Of the course the RFL will prioritise a more established side.

Why would they even consider promoting a less established side and then letting that side go pop?

Oh, hang on................................................

I can't see how Hemel can have a stand built in time. Shame they can't share with Berkhamsted FC. Only 5 mins down the road, same borough, 2500 capacity. Or Hemel FC!

Here's a whisper. It'll be announced next Monday/Tuesday.

Don't blame me if it's wrong but I've been told that a new Championship club will be announced next week along with the new SL sponsors

Which club?

coventrybears.co.uk/2011/12/new- ... announced/ Looks like they aren't quite ready just yet. Looks like a well run club though, not that I'd know what one of them looked like.
