Great article,I agree with every word Mike says,could you imagine football getting rid of relegation and promotion,it would kill there game as it has killed ours,it just would not happen.
Its time for all fans of all clubs to unite and mount an organised campaign to take back our game from the bunch of self serving fools that currently run our game.We need a figure head some one who knows the game and knows what the ordinary fans want,somebody who will pull us all in the same direction,for me it has to be Mike Smith,I am sure there will be other people similar to Mike with the knowledge and the tools who are just waiting for the call to arms.
Note to RFL,eventually all dictators end up the same way.
LET THE REVOLUTION BEGIN !
PS;Note to Dreamer,we need a Tag Line for this Campaign,check out that dictionary of yours and lets get the ball rolling.

Before you can do any of this.
You will need to find out who is running the game.
The RFL?
The clubs?
The chairman of the clubs?
Or how about SKY. If any new plans to not fit in with them then the game is finished. |

The RFL run the game on behalf of the clubs.
I would speculate that most of the chairman of SL clubs are against the franchise system other than Bradford, Widnes and London. Hethrington and Mc Manus have publicly called for a review.
What will convince everyone is that more money can be generated by the promotion and relegation system. Then the cause wil be won.

Re promotion & relegation being essential to the health of the game - Just ask JD what the occasion was like a few years back when the winner of Wakefield v Castleford match stayed in Super League and the loser was relegated! Fantastic. Promotion and Relegation keeps the game alive - don't need to look further than soccer! Nearly every league match to the end of their season means something and their play-offs are for a real prize: promotion.
The Rugby League game doesn't need any more souless new stadia that are too big. Look how much Warrington fans liked coming to a traditional ground at Cougar Park. OK, the traditional grounds still need to be safe and upgraded bit by bit - but they are great. Look at Batley - great little traditional ground where all sides have been improved greatly over the years - and still big enough for any of their likely attendances even if they were in Super League. A tightly packed crowd in a traditional ground creates a great TV atmosphere. With summer(!) rugby, it's not at all essential for all 4 sides of a ground to be covered.
Mike Smith for RFL Executive Chairman if he'd do it.

Boxweir I agree with every single word in your post, (other than I think there should be only 10 clubs in SL as bottom 4 are only making up the numbers, which is just wrong, look at London vs Warrington this weekend, crowd of 2,500)
Since the franchise system came in, it has just felt more and more as the seasons have gone by that the RFL have forgotten that there is rugby league outside of Super League.

| What happened to boxweir's posts ?? I wanted to read that again this morning but its gone 
Some very inspirational words of encouragement spoken and I for one agree not only is it time but long long overdue for an overhaul of the current system.
Promotion and relegation should definitely be on the cards lets give the championship something to play for other than pride. How are the clubs expected to
invest without receiving some potential for promotion. Not to mention retaining players as in the current system these guys are working extremely hard in
order to raise their game, but lets face it without moving clubs how can they raise it much further.
There are a couple of different ways to look at the word league 1League a group of sports clubs that play each other over a period for a championship.
2 In League conspiring with another or others.
I would suggest the current format creates a Super In League which is presently conspiring to keep others out rather than share the spoils. |

I have checked with the admins of the site.
There was a problem with spamming sites and that the article was posted in full. With no link to it.
These two are not allowed.
No problem with boxweirs posts as such just the way this was done.
If boxweir is reading this then please send a email to support.rlfans.com and it can be all sorted out.
Jim.

Copyright law, is copyright law. If someone breaks it this site gets into trouble.
No one is trying to stop debate on this subject. people can discuss the topic all they want there cannot post the whole of the article.
So please carry on. |

Trying to arrange for Yorkshire Radio to debate this issues on their Rugby League show on Thursday night 6pm to 7.20pm.
Fingers crossed that we can get this aired and a ground swell of support for promotion and relegation. Listen if you can before going to the game.
