Who are what is going to cover another two SL teams funding wise? Disbanding L1 will gain a £1m but that still leaves £2.5m short. Where's that coming from, Championship?

If you are the team without a fixture in the first week, you don't get any recuperation, you just start a week later than everyone else.

You maths is faulty anyway, if you play on the 1st and miss a week, your next game is on the 15th.

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.

Wow don't believe this!

In our league there are 12 so minus summer bash and super 8's, we play 22 matches.

You don't play yourself

15 teams, they will play 14 at home and 14 away - 28 games

Not 30

(See my working out) if you can show I am wrong, I will willingly bow down to your knowledge.

Anyway it ain't going to happen so it's not worth the hassle

Yes everyone plays 28 games but the season is 30 weeks.

Correct..

Week1. 1v2 3v15 4v14 5v13 6v12 7v11 8v10 9 bye
Week2 1v3 4v15 5v14 6v13 7v12 8v11 9v10 2 bye

Unless Sky want to televise it, the day before!
