Wakey , covered area and seating
Celtic , capacity , despite claims that they had 10,000 on watching Bon Jovi or Brian Adams'"
IIRC Cas and Wakey had a short term exemption based on plans for new stadia.
I'd thought Celtic's stadium was OK?

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.

It was , when they introduced ' framing the future '
8,000 capacity
4,000 covered
2,000 seated
The seating one was changed to 1,500 in 2005 to accommodate Wheldon roads return to SL
These requirements didn't apply to clubs already in SL , just to clubs applying to get in

So how long is ' short term ' ?
5 years ? , 10 ?
Brewery field is worse than both Cas and Wakey

So we're saying the criteria were changed (perfectly reasonable) rather than ignored.

Yes Cavey, because it's only in the business of pro RL that "goal posts" move. We're completely unique

| In answer to your question about how teams get into the NFL, richie as best i can tell its a closed shop. 'new' teams seem to have only ever been formed by the merger of existing ones, it doesnt seem that truly 'new' teams have ever been admitted.

So you set ' criteria ' that clubs have to adhere to , then change them because ' some ' clubs don't
Pathetic
So why bother with them in the first place ?

Ok , if you want to pretend to be totally THICK
Celtic Crusaders were allowed into SL playing at BREWERY FIELD by the RFL
You really are making a good attempt at being a total pillock

| Have you ever thought the RFL have watched the news and realized there is a recession ?? and then maybe taken the decision that consolidation was needed rather than bankruptcy of the sport just to get new shiny stadias.
I genuinely believe the game needs time to settle again, time to focus on improving the overall product and the international game, not closing the door on areas that are doing ok just they don't have enough seats or cover.

Well what normally happens is the minimum standards goes up
In RL it appears they are going down
However shortly , when they all have nice new stadia , they will then go up , until some dodgy millionaire gets a call from Nige asking if they want a SL club in Dublin/Edinburgh/Birmingham , then strangely they will change back down to suit whatever stadium is available to said millionaire

Were we in ' recession ' 6 years ago ?
That is when the RFL were messing about with the minimum standards to suit their needs and save their embarrassment

which other sports hand pick teams to promote and relegate against criteria that can be changed to suit their choices,
any examples ?
