Quote: Zulu01 "What ever system they introduce then so be it, we have to adapt, I don't think for 1 minute that there will be a 15 team S.L.
I was merely explaining to mooka that it would be impossible to give every team (2) weeks rest in a season with 28 games.
The powers that be will do what they do and we as fans will adapt.
Yorkshire cup / Lancashire cup, BBC floodlit trophy, Regal / JPS trophy, Lancashire v Yorkshire all gone.
Countless rule changes, licensing/ franchises, French clubs and now a North American club.
But yet we are still here week in week out.
Probably missed something'"
You missed nothing, its just some think these ventures of SL with 14 in it will run on Scotch mist. CH along with L1 have 3 years to either go with whats being offered or go alone. Their choice. I don't take into account someones thoughts written in the RL weekly rag as gospel.
Others should do the same, the debate should be about 14 in SL, yet the debate turns into what format should be run in SL using 14 teams which the sport can't cater for without funding from the lower tiers being taken back.
Thats the point, not whether we should have a bye. No club will survive without funding, but if your happy to go with 14 in SL for 3 years, there won't be many clubs or fans adapting to that scenario below SL.
