If AT asks for his loans back then the club goes pop, a new club is formed and we carry on.
We can do this because we have a big enough RL fanbase, Blackpool dont.

We carry on in what League though, fan base is pretty poor now and would be even poorer in Division 1.

| We carry on, Widnes got a 9pt deduction didnt they? A few years on its SL time. Dont get me wrong I appreciate the finance AT makes available to the club and hope he stays forever, but I am sure he will be the first to say the club is bigger than any of us.

| and we need to look inwards as a result of the RFL's disregard for the non SL heartlands, which means no French club and no Welsh club in the 16 team, 30 game Championship.
15 home games plus a end of season KO would bring in the revenue, start in December, GF first week in August followed by seeded ko over 4 weeks, ie 1 v 16, 2 v 15 etc
Get SL fans for first few weeks of season, big Xmas derbies eg Widnes Boxing day 2000/1? 6700 gate
Better structure than the other options if we dont get a 20 club SL over 2 divisions.

| French teams no, Welsh teams yes.
France has its own domestic comp and lets be honest, if Tou hadn't have flunked in the Championship (to be fair its a tough comp) they'd have bided their time in the Elite and be in come 2012 along with Widnes imo.
At the time, the split to 2 was right, as of now i'd be looking at a reunification

| Only accept a club if its in the interests of the clubs, CC were fast tracked and the clubs used, do not let it happen without some GUARANTEED money in return.

| So you disagree with how the Scorpions are going?
That's ridiculously insular if so.

I think you are right there but without the opportunity of promotion ambition will wither and then it will be 14 then 12 and so on.

| I dont think so tbh.
The most important level that needs sorting, imo, is the level under C1.
Have is so ALL amateur teams in the country play to the same system, and have a north south divide or even east and west too and you have a national amateur champion. The elite winners of these seasons could apply to join the semi pro ranks. Not entirely sure how it would work, it's best left to better brains than mine but i'd send Gateshead, Skolars down there too, they could even pay players expenses if they wanted and have one national amateur competition where the region winners compete in the final, who can then apply to join the pro ranks. I think you'd get one or two teams finding their way to the top and professional status could be looked at.

| Well the trouble with that is most fans aren't as passionate as they think they are and do not have enough patience. I honestly cannot understand why for example Wakefield Cas HKR Salford should be ring fenced at the expense of a Championship club with aspirations.
Why should there be no opportunity for ambition? What the RFL has done would not be legal in commerce and I cannot get my head around that.
Almost 2000 years ago Emperor Claudius banned monopolies and why do you think he did that ?

| Franchising was the way to go imo, you wont change my view on that.
However, in 2012 I think it should be 2 down and 2 up, problem is.. I dont want Crusaders to go. I genuinely believe there's potential there.
2015 will be 16 teams anyway so you'll see 2 more up
