This is indeed the case.

Yet Gateshead have gone ahead with theirs ,do they know something we dont.

Gateshead season tickets have been announced in the hope of retaining their status ( but that now being in Championship 1) and no doubt to impress the RFL at the meeting they have with them. At the prices they are being offered that would seem to be the case.

No they just desperatley need some cash to get the new co up and running

They actually state in the season ticket press release, they will be valid for 9 or 10 games

How long can the club afford to wait on this (afterall the RFL still havn't said what's Celtics punishment is many months down the line, are we to expect a quick answer on whats happening re: Gateshead )

The 'season' as such is still ongoing and people are talking about RL as they are seeing it on TV.
In a few weeks people will be spending money on Christmas as the main priority switches.

Hopefully the club will have a cutoff date regardless of what Red Hall does or says.

In terms of Gateshead, sad to see them in such a mess but like Celtic it just didn't add up how they can stay going on poor gates paying lots of money out on overseas players (some of them of considerable quality), hopefully they'll pull through as despite what many think I don't think Gateshead could ever be described as a 'darling club' of Lewis or the RFL after the way they got treated last time out.

Seems 'Celtic' are no-more www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... aders.html Perhaps if we have any properly thought out and legally binding franchises in RL in the future it might be a good idea to ensure the club has plans to stay put for more than a season and stipulate it in the process. Moving around the area with frequent changing names has proven not to help you get support in , its taken Quins a long time to get some stability, surely not helped by the nomadic existance and seasonal name changes they had.

We would have 1 more home game in the Championship rather than Championship 1, so prices for season tickets would be different.

Simple solution is to sell them based on the number of fixtures in Champs 1 and if we get put back in Championship have one match that is all to pay.

All depending on what the RFL decide to do , they might well decide to go with 10 in the Championship next year

How can they really do that?

If they technically deduct 9 points from 2009, then Gatehead are down, simple as that.

If not, they stay in in the championship on minus nine with Leigh in C2 !

If the RFL try to relegate 3 clubs, I fear they may be in hot water !

With who ?

They can do what the hell they like
