Foxy Bingo and Brut will be rubbing there hands together knowing they will be getting more coverage around the socials clubs of Yorkshire.

Correct.

There is no view of the bigger picture in this thread. It seems to me it is another old established M52 club or nothing. Personally I'd like a NEW midlands SL team spreading down to London and it's surrounds.

the Topic started with a comment about Nahaboo's pitch to replace London Bronco's with Fev , if ... perchance they don't participate in SL XIX , ??
I think that 's the topic , though I've just had to plough through 8 pages of a geography lesson about Cas's population ... doesn't bear thinking about .
with a side helping of 7 into 13 won't go ( Carry one , not so magic Weekend ).

there now you don't have to read the previous 7 pages

The top eight in 2015 , yes, but 13 clubs in 2014 , doesnt work, do the maths

So Catalans play 1 game less than the rest ?

Do the maths

Starbug - I've lost count of how many times you've pointed people in the right direction over this topic

Are we seeing witnessing the slow death of SL as a full time professional league outside of the top 8?
2011 - Crusaders & Wakefield in Admin
2012- No major sponsor for SL- Bradford in Admin
2013 - No Major sponsor for SL - Salford avoid Admin at 11th hr - still Money worries at Bradford , Wakefield rumoured to have had an advance on 2014 funding , now rumours with London walking away ? how many other clubs are ' just getting by '?
An Exodus of the Better UK players & Quota players back to the NRL which is awash with sponsorship.
World Cup ?

Nahaboo's press release random / speculative unless he was party to some news that 1 of the 14 SL teams may not make it to next season?

10 teams, 27 rounds a season (rotating 14 away/13 home on year then 14 home/13 away the next) 135 games a year.

Top 4 play off
Weekend 1
Game 1EU BORN players per Team allowed.....none of the training/federation bollox.

Minimum 1 exhibition game taken on the road each year to a pre-allocated non heartland area to grow interest on the game...subsidised by the Competition owners.

The RFL can fight BARLA for control of the game under this level and when the RFL lose they can all get jobs flipping burgers, because it's all they are qualified for

IMPORTANT: The Clubs from the lower tiers that are responsible for the development of players for these top 10 Franchises would be richly rewarded with funds from the Franchise and the competitions owners with a strong development ethos being richly rewarded.

The Competition owners and the 10 Franchises would also be responsible for assistance with fundraising for the semi-pro/amateur/schools level of the game by incentivising cash back ticket sales as well as a shed load of promotional activity in allocated non-heartland regions.

Failing any of the above happening in my lifetime, why not just promote Fev and see how they go

...although the Idea of big Nigel flipping burgers has cheered me up no end
