Quote: Starbug "Lots of things are not correct in RL , but the clubs voted for it , it's called democracy'"


icon_eek.gif I thought that was voting for what you wanted without threat of reprisals. It was enforced with threats as was the franchising system. Not difficult if you have a small pool of voters with one who tells the rest if they don,t that they,ll pull the plug.

Does anyone seriously think the chairmen of professional rl voted for non promotion to the top league without coercion ? Democracy is one man one vote.

Bonus point = failure with reward.
The only team collecting anything should be a winner, losers are called that for a reason.
If both teams slog it for a draw fair enough but collecting points for "only just losing" is a farce IMO.

Or perhaps its just that you don't, and won't accept the word of anyone that says differently. Given that the promotion/relegation cycle nearly broke our club, I would have thought that you'd have embraced it.

Put it another way... if the word 'franchise' was removed, and the idea was replaced by a 2 season period of grace from relegation for promoted clubs that depended to an extent on their ammenities and on their finances being in order, would you look any differently at it?

I would have no problem with the promoted club into the top league having an exemption from relegation in their first season there.

There are several clubs who with the current system have zero chance of getting there and that is the problem.


Regarding stadia that, during the current economic situation, is a bit of a red herring imo.
