| I think Saints should get an automatic 10 point deduction for playing in a sub SL standard stadium next season, the stadium was deemed not adequate when Widnes wanted in so i believe, either that or relegate them until they do have a suitable stadium ![Thumbs up icon_thumb.gif](images/smilies//icon_thumb.gif)

Dwarfs, Gnomes, Halflings/GNOME2.JPG The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.

| If you compare Salford, Wakefield and Castleford:
Salford appear the weakest on League Position (average last 3 seasons) worse attendances, and probably worse ground........Wakefield are the strongest on League position. So the RFL will be gunning for Wakefield then ???

| Quote: DaveO "This point has been made before. How can you kick a team out if they score as well as other SL teams? I mean it is quite possible for several sides, even though at the bottom end of the table, to meet all the same criteria equally well (or badly!). So how do you pick one to be replaced by a NL1 side?'"
Likewise, when the boot is on the other foot as Championship sides score the same 'grading' as existing Super League clubs. The whole thing is a farce, tailored to suit the RFL's policy at the time. Note that "overseas clubs may be invited to apply" regardless of "ticking the box" according to an amendment to one of the RFL's by-laws, so don't be surprised to see Toulouse end up getting a licence....

Isn't it a 10k stadium? As that is all the LSV is.

There are two different sets of criteria for existing SL clubs and Championship clubs. Yes, SL clubs get a point for a 12k+ stadium, but Championship clubs only need a 10k one to apply (along with the other ones, such as getting to their GF or winning the NR)

| I will believe the Salford, Castleford and Wakefiled new grounds when I see them. They have had several years to get things moving and so far they haven't. There is alot of desperate marketing going on from these clubs in a last ditch attempt to influence the RFL. The decision needs to be made on what is in place at the time and not on a promise of a new ground. They have had their opportunity and so far not come up to the required standard.
