not only Batley but most of the clubs in the championship couldn't get a SL liciense on the grounds of there stadiums are rubbish & worthy of the SL at least Leigh would have had the foundation for that one! you only really have us, widnes, sheffield who have adequate grounds!

And Doncaster and soon Halifax

Blackpool?

doncaster too cos of the footy but i didnt mention them cos they'll stay down for abit due to administive reasons but yeh there ground is the best by a mile!

most of champion 1 clubs will feel the loss next year as leigh are one of best supported clubs away from home and i dont think followers of the toulouse and batley will bring the same sort of support

we'll teach Blackpool a lesson next season after this seasons pre season friendly that the young lads tried out we'll welcome them to the big boys now

er, the leagues are The Championship, and Championship 1

Mr Kelly did not have the same budget as his predecessors,if someone at the club has told you that then you have been misinformed.All in good faith of course I suppose.The SC is not the be all & end all as well you know FredParky

No, they wont be there long though, they are off to Super League soon!

You know that, I know that, but even the RFL don't realise it when it comes to Overseas' player allowance rules ('Super League 1[/size 2 [/size= 2)

Would like to know their reasoning behind that Alan,only one i can think of is to hinder the championship clubs i mean you would think that the champ clubs could afford 2 overseas more than champ 1 ,its very odd to say the least.

Odd but thats the rules.

Yep i would imagine thats how it would go ,cretins !!!!!!!but i'm not bitter
