Well if you went and looked instead of listening to what someone has told you, top 2 in champ get 4 home games, top gets to face one sl team at home, team that finishes second gets 3 sl teams at home 3rd gets one sl team at home 4th get 2 sl teams at home so why would they not get the revenue?

Well you've found me out there, because I hadn't looked it up.

Can't help feeling that you could've combined all three posts into one, or are you trying to bump your stats up?

I think Leigh will earn promotion, even Bradford have an outside chance, I doubt whether 3rd 'n 4th will have any chance at all, but if your in it, technically, you can win it!

And if not.

We have a chance at the Championship silverware, in fact some of the 'Fax fans are already saying 5th or 6th and a potential Championship final is 'prolly better than 7 -kickings!

I'm in agreement with them.
It is a sad indictment of how far we have fallen in 6 years, but mid table mediocrity in the 2nd tier is probably where we belong.

The indictment seems fair to me Jim.Given the six years you have had to rise.

Not really "fair" but probably deserved.

Quote: Perry "Very true, but then again there are only two seasons of the Premiership where at least one promoted club didn't go straight back down, which suggests that three is too many.

The results suggest (and I think you concede this in your post) that Leigh are the only team with a realistic chance of promotion, and of cutting it in SL when they get there. If we did have 2 up/2 down, I suspect that the second promoted side would be whipping boys most years.'"


I would tend to agree with all of this, but I am sure most of the fans of those clubs that went up and straight back downn enjoyed their day in the sun as it were.

Back to RL I would propose a slightly different flavour that is like the way football promotion was done at one time.

Championship 1 team gets promoted in place of SL12, then a mini league of SL11, Champ 2, 3 & 4 play home and away for a second potential promotion place. even a one off game between SL11 and Champ 2 would be of interest, but maybe not enough games for the RFL. icon_rolleyes.gif

Personally I would prefer automatic promotion even if it was just 1 up one down.

Jim,

There are some in RL circles that would suggest that London should have been been in mid table mediocrity in the 2nd tier (at best) for the last 20 years.

I'll take my tongue out of my cheek now. icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

As an outsider looking in, it appears to me that there has been a certain amount of miss-management in London over these 20 years and the previous 15 years for that mater. From 20k at Craven Cottage to less than 1k at the Hive doen't make good reading.

Good luck for the rest of the year except when you play us (Fev).

Well earlier on in this thread I expressed a preference for the top 6 in the playoffs, with 1 automatically relegated at the bottom to be replaced by the playoff winner from the lower division.

However, following on from your suggestion, how about the Championship playoffs being the top 5 and the bottom SL club?

I prefer to see how the current structure pans out. We can make assumptions forever more, and how anyone can make a judgement before seeing the middle 8's in action, is beyond me.
