Yes the small number of teams in both The Championship and Championship 1 makes it very hard to make a club viable. Can't see any new clubs coming on board next season though. Hemel maybe in the medium term, possibly Bramley. Who else?? Carlisle??

The rlScottish RLrl are bidding for a Championship 1 side.
Note that it appears to be on the back of a new Sponsorship Deal, so there appears to be some substance to this.
I'm moving to Edinburgh soon and I'm hoping to see Town play up there in 2010.

If Magic weekend stays there, they will probably be the under card for day 1
Edniburgh Eagles for 2015? |

That is close on a year old mate, they are no further forward. |

True its nearly a year old. I was hoping that during the last year that they were quietly getting on working with the RL to perfect a bid.
I noticed that your location states on the set of Gregorys Girl. Do you have any recommendations on Scottish Conference teams? I've enjoyed watching Telford Raiders down in the English Midlands. |

I also saw the web page discussion a South West Team in either Bristol; Exeter or Cornwall (oddly Plymouth wasn't mentioned). Obviously travel would be a factor for semi-pro Championship 1 but I seem to remember Aspatria having to play Redruth in the RU prior to open professionalism so it clearly can be done.
Also Bowes posted about the Irish RL looking to join the Championship.
I wish Coventry could find the funding to make the step up. The Butts Arena would make a great NL1 ground. |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Bottom line is the current situation for Championship clubs [ both leagues ] is far from ideal , clubs cannot survive on 12 home games a season

They could but it would mean a whole different set up and financial plan.
The trouble is sourcing the income and ensuring it is a steady stream rather than erratic which of course is not easy but not impossible.
And no I'm not going to explain how to do it for 2 main reason!
1) Nobody will pay me for the ideas  
2) Same as 1 |

It would be interesting to see the clubs in SL only having 12 games a year to survive on

|  So really it's add some new clubs ( which dosen't look likely) or merge the Championship into one division. |

Carlisle, are you crazy?
Bramley, Hemel and Nottingham would be the best placed but even then none are really ready. Hemel have been 'just about to join the semi-pro ranks' for 20 years so I'll believe that when I see it, they've only got a good team on the field because they took half of Coventry's team |

Can't see that working, though they (Tallaght Tigers) currently play in the NW division of the RL Merit League |
