in case you arent aware SL has gone to a franchising process whereby clubs have to apply for spots every time it happens.

in 2012 cas will be applying for a SL license again as well.

<whooooooosh>

I would still prefer Sheffield to Doncaster, because it is a bigger city, has a lot of prestige associated with its size, and is potentially more likely to be able to find more rich sponsors.

Doncaster on the other hand is on major train and bus routes, and has a stadium almost ready for Super League, and a new board that seems keen to progress. Of course the club will have to perform on the pitch as well, and at the moment Sheffield is doing much better there than Doncaster. Early days yet. Rest assured both Doncaster and Sheffield are not going to get the nod for Super League in the same year.

Either club getting promoted, along with Toulouse, will be an improvement over the current west Yorkshire small town club saturation, if its ascension to Super League is at the expense of a weak west Yorkshire club, especially Wakefield.

Now that's what i call attention seeking.

What will be the basis of the application, the stadium. I doubt the people of Donny will support in sufficient numbers. If there is any additions in 2012 I think Widnes and/or a second French club would be prefrable.

Dont worry Albert , we are resting assured

I wish Donny the best of luck intheir SL ambitions but TBH looking at them early this year in the Championship 2010 will be spent trying to get back in the championship from C1 I would imagine.

To be fair....we've only played twice (as opposed to most teams three) and would certainly not been classed as favourites going into Barrow away or Leigh at home (which we got the bonus point in)

In the NRC before that we got three wins from 4 and had 9 points, which would have been easilly enough for us to go through in the other group.

So while I do not necessarilly disagree with you, that is not the story results on paper so far suggest

Maybe Jemmo, one thing for sure though the league will be tough yourselves and sheffeild have both took bonus points from Leigh, Sheff also pushed Widnes close, Toulouse will be hard to beat on their own patch, obviously with their exemption Its hard for me to look further than yourselves and Gateshead for the drop, as a Barrow lad I am completley discounting us from the relegation scrap

Would a Sth Yorkshire named team work playing 75% in Doncaster and 25% of games in Sheffield?

I don't see either individually having a big enough RL fanbase or corporate support to survive stand alone.
