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  |

| Quote The Devil's Advocate="The Devil's Advocate"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.'"
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. |

at this moment in time not Toulouse - the framework isn't in place but will be by 2015
let Fax in up to the next franchise bids and take it from there
anyway, I can't see the Bulls playing anywhere other than the SL next season so the question is irrelevant |

Hey calm down Fella’ where did I say you did?
I said many fans, the majority of who don’t even visit the V.T, the thought of having to converse with lower league supporters is an anathema |

Leave it at 13 until someone is sustainable enough to come up.

Totally agree.
Five unsustainable SL clubs is enough as it is. Too delicate a situation to add to that number right now. |

Neither have a chance as the RFL have given Bradford all the Wonka bars. |

Or the ' scrap heap ' as you so eloquently put it 
It brings to mind the ' Scrap Heap Challenge ' TV show , teams of Championship clubs Chairmen trying to build a SDL application out of old worn out players and ancient attendances from years ago , being presented to the ' independant ' Licence committee , where it all falls apart at the seams with a ' speculative ' rubber stamp imprint on it
Yes you were right the 1 st time , Scrap Heap describes the ' leagues below ' very well
Now who's trying to avoid being put into a ' category ' ? |
