icon_biggrin.gif icon_biggrin.gif , Now then Fully , tell me if this is wrong

In 3 consecutive SL seasons , Castleford were relegated twice and finished bottom , I could have said they were relegated twice and finished bottom twice and I would still have been correct

It was a response to Dico stating that Castleford have some kind of business ' model ' that all Championship clubs should copy , in a small way he is correct as in my opinion the level of support that Cas managed to retain when they played in NL 1 is the level that any club wanting to get into and compete in SL need to emulate

Now , wind your neck in icon_biggrin.gif icon_wink.gif

They weren't consecutive though as they were broken up by a year in the National League icon_wink.gif Oh, and if you re-read the bit I've quoted it sounds like you're saying we've finished bottom of the league in three different seasons. I disagree there is no model for Championship club as we were a newly relegated club with ambition to get straight back to Super League. Had we stayed down there for a few seasons like Leigh it would have been a different story I fear.

Yes, there is a model to follow:

1. Get in and remain in the top flight for decades
2. Get relegated
3. Retain enough squad strength, financial strength and fan base from 1 to enable promotion straight away.

Easy really, why don't they all do that?

I said it was the model to follow in SL, rather than Hull kr's shedload of debts.

And Dally, Fitness First are garbage.
If I wanted to hang around with old women I'd go to a Bingo Hall

They were for Castleford , Castleford played in SL in 2004 , finished bottom , relegated , played in SL in 2006 , finished second bottom , relegated , played 2008 finished bottom

So that is 3 consecutive seasons in SL for Castleford , finishing bottom twice and being relegated twice icon_wink.gif

Quote: dally messenger "as absurd as saying peripgnan is heartlands when it was dominated by union for 30 years.'"


No, it isn't.

Whether an area is rugby league heartlands or not is dependent on how much rugby LEAGUE is played there not how much rugby UNION is played there.
