super 8s rlscrappedrl BBC updated now

Super 8's scrapped due to poor crowds but replaced with loop fixtures, yeah crowds will come flooding back. nobody wants loop fixtures crowds will be just as poor this time next year. Nearly everybody wanted 14 team home away fixture list. GREEDY IDIOTS. no season ticket for me next year again, go go to the games that matter or what takes mu fancy, expect with magic weekend we will end up seeing some clubs playing the same side 4 times minimum. replace one crap system which something almost as crap. IDIOTS.

Would have liked the Qualifiers & MPG to stay, but agree that Super 8 league to decide who makes the grand final, was not working.
Should have been top 4 only. Every season 5-8th had very little to play for. The RFL will probably change the format again in a few years anyway...

How do you get the link like that?

This is like deja vu all over again. Didn't they already have a vote 11-1? How comes there was another vote that ended up 11-1?

It's a move back towards franchising for me, can see that happening within the next 3 years - be interesting to see if one up one down works better this time round

Great about time but I will ask again what if the team that wins the championship has a crap ground do they still come up because some time ago that was not allowed

The championship team just needs to lie and say they are building a new ground.

When that turns out to be a load of blame it on the local council.

Yeah some teams with crap grounds were knocked back. Whereas other teams promised to transform their crap ground into a remotely acceptable one and NEVER DID. They gained or kept a SL spot on absolute lies so that's the way to go.

For example, London win the Championship and announce that they are transforming Ealing into a 70,000 mega-stadium over christmas.

Or get the RFL to buy their ground, which is also crap and just try not to go bust.
At least the playing surface at BV is flat and of decent size and doesn't resemble a dried up butty at a poor mans wedding reception

Well the decisions being made (not that i think it will massively improve things with fixture fatigue still being an issue from loop fixtures) time to move forward as a sport now.

All eyes on the SL clubs and Robert Elstone now. Lets see where the sport is in 3 years time. Can't blame anyone else or hide behind anything like they did with the stovart deal or voting the 8s in in the first place.

Guess that will be in the small print....a'la to prevent a Hunslet or Dewsbury situation happening again...
