It will probably dawn on whoever wins how big the task ahead of them is when they see the main event afterwards.
Championship players are just so much bigger, faster, stronger and more disciplined than their Championship 1 counterparts.
There are 4 or 5 teams that can play to the standard of Fax and Fev and the rest of the teams would probably stroll through Championship 1 undefeated. |

I'd hate to see you refused promotion on Ground regulations, glad you have a contingency plan in place. May the best team win on Sunday. Could be a decent little ground. Terracing a must though, I couldn't see a bloody thing at the Oldham v York game! Is there room to develope the ground. Looked a bit tight to me?

We cannot seem to win a final!!
However that said, i'm pretty sure each team thats beat us has had major problems as a result of promotion
As long as there's an Oldham team to support i'm happy whichever league it may be ![]()
Fev don't seem to be doing too badly

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 |

Seems a bit random. CC1 clubs can play Barrow, Fev, Halifax, Leigh, Widnes etc in the Northern Rail Cup, but magically need a better ground to play them in the league? Barrow's floodlights provide a romantic candlelit meal feel to a game of rugby - it's hard to see how they could be considered "a higher standard".
Dave Woods has a fantastic coaching record in the championship - Cas, Gateshead and now York. Could be three jobs, three promotions. |

[quote="OFFTHECUFF":1xb0p6sn] Wish i could watch a team like Leigh.  [/quote:1xb0p6sn]
[quote="Steve":1xb0p6sn] Dislike Leigh with a passion, but they are a million miles ahead of any other club in this league, a sad fact. [/quote:1xb0p6sn]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_24148.jpg |

But CC1 clubs can also play Wigan, Hull and Huddersfield in the challenge cup, doesn't mean they have SL quality grounds?
I wouldn't want Oldham to be knocked back for their stadium though, would be a real shame. |

Hopefully!! I've a sad feeling if we go up we won't be able to hold onto Mr Woods for too long. Him and Karl Harrison should be assistant coaches in SL Teams at the absolute minimum, head coaches preferably.

My thoughts exactly Jon. I have never head anything about ground standards in regards to championship promotion. |

|  I know the RFL have siad York have to but Barriers up at one end of the Stadium. So there must be some difference in standards, Higher LUX floodlights I think as well. |
