i think the lisences system needs to be rethought if wakefield go down now. i no they have been in administration but if you compare them to a side like quins who must average around 2k and think theat wakefield have been a rl club for a long time and this season have notched up record attendces as they average is 6920 as seen on the sl stats and i think the club mus t be starting to go in a decent direction, and its not a wakey fan havin a rant cos i support wire.

why not look at the 14 best supported clubs and never promote anyone else OR the 14 teams with the best grounds, ya get me.

Franchises could be selected by lottery

the teams with the fastest fans

Should decide it was a half time challenge... in sumo suits

Cage fight your way to a franchise

How about you vote for your least favourite team and rank the rest in your order of preference. If one team gets over 50% they dont get the license, if they dont, the votes from whoever came first are dispersed between the other preferences ... wait ...

Crusaders wont go (RFL want a Welsh side)
Quins wont go (RFL want a London side)

Either one team has to go to make way for Widnes OR the RFL will allow Halifax to come up as well. Odd number of teams wont work. RFL did announce last last that 1 SL side WILL MAKE WAY FOR CHAMPIONSHIP SIDE so it gonna be close between Wakefield and Salford. Given Wakefield's lack of a decent stadium and the financial problems they had/have they must be favourites!

Yeah, every team has to field their hardest player, then they are all put into a cage until one is left, the winner then gets out and it starts all over again until finally you have the ultimate loser.
Sell it on ppv, all money going on the parachute payment and Mr Lewis' new Audi.

Bloody hell Nick Clegg on RLFANS.

There's only one thing for it!

FIIIIIIGGHHTT

Should make people pay for the licences. If they can't afford it. Tough, we'd be okay. Teams like Saints who have no money would struggle though.

Saints are skint its cost over £20 million to build the new stadium. Personally I think the licenses should be balanced alphabetically, there are too many WWW's in superleague in Wakefield, Warrington and Wigan one of them has to go. Seeing that Wigan don't own their own ground I'm afraid its got to be them.

kinda drifted away but seriously youd think the rfl would want a team notchin about 7k a game than quins with 2k or salford with 3.5??

Yes, you make a fair point. Up until the current owner took over, I was happy with the idea of Wakey going down, but you've got to admire the way they've recovered from their problems. Seems wrong to kick them out now.
