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 |

If you have no opinion on Bradford, think you need to tell your fingers because it's not what you're typing! No one else want to categorise themselves?'"
I'd suggest you do , strangely that is very close to how I veiw them as well
I started this thread when the SLE bid was announced , if they hadnt put in the bid I wouldnt and havent given an opinion either way |

Im not sure why some fans are so desperate to pretend each situation is the same when it quite clearly isn’t other than it gives them an excuse and a bogeyman to blame
You’re reading of the situation is beyond naïve. It may very well be that had Bradford ‘sold their stars’ in this symbolic bloodletting to appease you, that they would have had fewer fans come watch, brought in less from ticket and miscellaneous sales and simply brought about this situation earlier.
And it isn’t a ‘big name’ it is a ‘big club’.'"
You mean a situation where the governing body are paying a clubs players , and that could adversly effect other clubs finances ? |

Well,yes.One fans scrap heap is another fans vibrant competition.Depends on who you are and how 'big' the club you support is I suppose.It's not for the Bradfords of this world but fine for plebs such as Fax and Fev. |

The RFL are paying the Bulls players , who could then make the play offs , denying another club from that income |

No he was correct , the scrap heap is closer to the truth than the ' vibrant ' competition , at least in the eyes of clubs prospective customers |

Any team except one outside the UK... and while we are at it... Get rid of Catalans and bring another English team in.... So... Fev and Fax for me should be in SL.

| Many fans who support the top few clubs in S.L do regard the leagues below as an abomination,
Many Bradford fans were part of this exclusive club until recently, now they’re watching a team making up the numbers in SL, even contemplating death-by-relegation. I’m sure many have sobered up to reality now.
Unlike those (We know the clubs  ) who have only ever seen success, due to their age or diminished responsibility. |

Neither. Have a 13 club SL until the next round of franchises. Then either promote a club by issuing a license or demote another club to take SL to 12 teams.

Out of those two, definitely Halifax should.
However, in reality Bradford will find their old one in the waste bin, wipe it down & carry on. |

Unfortunately (or fortunately is you are a Fax fan), Halifax are the only club with a valid application at present and there probably isn't time for other clubs to go through the process, you know, shiny new ground, decent attendances, strong finance etc.
Let the championship clubs play for promotion  |

I do not see the leagues below as an abomination. I see the leagues below as what they are - the leagues below. They are just as valuable to rugby league as any other club and I'm sure with time, we will see the performances in the lower leagues increase in quality and the gap between the leagues close. We have had considerable recent success but I do know what it's like not to be a top club.
