| A lot of speculation who'll be in this, could even be ourselves but I highly doubt it's building stronger year on year but its going to be a very dog eat dog year
Wakefield have lost a lot of good solid players but have bought well so they won't be pushovers.
If, and by the looks of things and how their squad is shaping its looking likely and London finish in the bottom 2, do you think the RFL will try and safeguard them from relegation? The RFL change their minds year upon year and this is something I can see happening, really wouldn't surprise me.

I thought it had? Bottom 2? Haha just shows me panicking slightly. My bad. How else could they relegate two teams or transform it to a 12 team league.

| What has been said is that SL2015 will be made up if 12 teams.
In 2009 the RFL sent warning letters to Wakefield, Castleford and Salford as they hadn't delivered their new stadia. As it stands now Wakefield and Castleford are still in the same stadia, but with Wakefield having a documented plan for their current project.
Financially Bradford and Wakefield are weak, but Wakefield has taken action to balance their books and look to be going in the right direction.
If it isn't bottom two down ( which I doubt it will be ) then I wonder what the criteria will be?
Last Licensing applications one team was spared by Crusaders dropping out...

| Don't matter what the criteria is because Bradford wont get kicked out because of how 'iconic' they are, and London wont get kicked out because they are southern. if anyone will get 'kicked' out it will be one of Wakefield and Castleford IMO.

True, but London's finances aren't sitting pretty are they? Be interesting to see if the RFL release anything before the start of SL to tell us how it will be trimmed down to 12 teams. I do genually believe, thinking about it that it won't be the bottom 2 relegated, this safeguarding London performance wise. Still a lot of questions need answering sooner rather than later, more than likely when they announce whether SL 2015 will be a straight 12 teams or whether later on it will be 3 leagues of 8 then they will release details of relegation/demotion to the championship etc.

Are London going to recieve a letter about the move to Barnet, a 5,000 capacity stadium just about up to Championship criteria ?

After reading hundreds of your posts I'm now convinced your the most negative person in Rugby League. If you have fell out of love so much with the sport then disappear So we can be free of your constant dross.

The RFL have stated that the bottom two will be removed. They also confirmed that London are not immune to the restructuring of the League. It will be done fairly on league positions.

| In my opinion SL would be stronger without London in it, for the mean time any way. It's never really taken off and can't see any sign of it doing so in the next 10/15 years leap frogging stadium to stadium.
This doesn't stop the RFL expanding. I've been really impressed with championship 1
Gateshead
Hemel stags
London Skolars
Gloucestershire
Oxford
South Wales
North Wales contesting championship.
This is where expansion should be, it's definitely a start. Rather than fast tracking crusaders like they did last time.

| 3 years ago Broncos and Catalans were in a very exclusive group within the RFL. I don't see Broncos being in there now.
I just hope that everything is done fairly, with the cooperation of the teams affected and with enough notice to allow players to find new employers.
No more mergers either!

| Bradford & Wakefield.
Bradford to be micro managed from now to the start of the season were they will hope gate receipts will get them to the end of the season.
Wakefield to get half way through the season and then collapse through lack of gates receipts and then the rfl will micro manage then to the end of the season.

| I thought 6 clubs walked out of the meeting to discuss the restructure so no vote could be taken?
When was the restructure agreed?
