Quote: SmokeyTA "

So you only want clubs entering SL, when they are ready, but you say admit teams every 4 years? , but also if current clubs dont hit ' targets ' , they drop out?

How will promotion and relegation work, if it dos happen and when it starts, say if Catalan, Leeds, Warrington, Wigan, Hull F.C. London, Huddersfield ( & Bradford, who SL, can't do with out as we are told) finish bottom, ware would P&R, come in then, the first thing the RFL will do is come out with a statement, saying we cannot afford to relegate these teams so your back to square one the only time a team will go down to SL2, or the new championship, is when one of the other three teams finish bottom,it might sound like sower grapes, but we all now haw it works in rugby league.

It sounds like sour grapes because it IS sour grapes. Get the chip off your shoulder.

That is actually the point, a club like the ones you mention could drop down a division if the gap isnt too big, and they would be replaced by a much better prepared club

Currently as the Bradford ' situation ' showed, once Toulouse turned the RFL down, there was no viable alternative, which in itself shows the weakness of the whole sport

No chip, the only people with the chips on there shoulder are the ones who now they are safe and sod he rest, like your team, poach the young talent for yourself, and get the monk on when a bigger team takes a youngster from the hull academy the biggest part of your team are Cas & Fev lads made up with antipodeans but not many Hull lads, but then again i have a chip because the truth hurts . when the new boss you have gets fed up he will be off and you might be the next SL2 team

Quote: Starbug "You need to learn the differece between a demonstrable fact and an opinion'"

Castleford themselves have spoken of the damage done to them by relegation. In fact in the context of licensing Richard Wright said[i Castleford have been involved in relegation and promotion for the last four years, so we have very good first-hand knowledge of how destabilising it is.
It is a bit of a rollercoaster and difficult to get off. When you are relegated there is a big impact on finances and it very difficult to plan for the long-term future of the club.

Relegation is a massive obstacle. It is hard enough to grow your business in the first place[/i

talking about relegation he said [i"The loss to Castleford is impossible to quantify," Richard Wright, the Castleford chief executive, said. "Financially the loss of £800,000 from TV rights was only the starting point. Players had to leave the club and others had to accept pay cuts. Even worse is the effect on the club itself and our fans. Yet this injustice could have been avoided."[/i

It was a fact, i demonstrated it. That is the difference.

Quote: Starbug "So you only want clubs entering SL, when they are ready, but you say admit teams every 4 years? '"
No, i said aim to do it. It would be SL aiming to be ready to get two new teams in those years, and those clubs aiming to be ready for those years. If either arent ready, it doesnt happen. If both are ready at a different time we can. It is pretty simple
Quote: Starbug "but also if current clubs dont hit ' targets ' , they drop out?'"
Yes. Im pretty sure i explained that we should remove the link between promotion and relegation, in fact i said we should [iThen remove the link between promotion and relegation[/i i dont know why you are now linking them again.

No it isnt a fact, Cas were relegated into a part time competition, a 2 pt SL would be different, so it is just your opinion
