The championships still has P&R with no licences, so how has franchising made this into a better competition?

| It's just like having an old friend around for dinner.....another franchising thread.
GET OVER IT YOU NORTHERN FLAT CAP WEARING, WHIPPET RACING, HOT POT EATING, PIE MAKING WANK3RS. 
YOUR TEAM DESERVED A FRANCHISE...but didn't get one...Boo bloody Hoo....
Move on.....
FWIW, the new div 1 is spot on and more entertaining (in some cases) than sooper league....just learn your place at the table.  |

Really? Care to provide a list of clubs that have bee relegated to the amateur leagues for finishing bottom of the semi pro league?
Or clubs promoted into the semi-pro ranks as a reward for winning an amateur comp? Or even for winning NL3, as was?
The fact is that every club in the Championship / Championship 1 has an indefinite franchise, without even having to reapply every 3 years. |

Exactly. Was it 900 biggest crowd outside of SL last Sunday? Dark days indeed.
I fail to see any irony however. |

Your [iground[/i certainly made everyone else's look good - even our half-built Stade de 'alifax.

Only way a current club will be booted is if:
1.They go bust (unless they are an expansion club or deemed important in which case they will simply come back under another name)
2.They are kicked out of their ground and have nowhere to play (very unlikely)
3.They finish bottom each of the three seasons and win very few games (very unlikely as any club SHOULD be able to build a squad that will win at least 33% of its games each year)
It will stay as is with Toulouse coming in 2012 and then maybe another in 2014-15 imo.
