The benefits of a new stadium have been missed in this discussion.
1) Increased Capacity
2) Vastly superior facilities
3) Increase in Season Ticket sales
4) Increase in sponsorship
Those four factors will impact on the first team as with improved facilities and monies coming in we can compete for the better player as we are a more attractive proposition.
Put that stadium on the M62 corridor and ask yourself what is the best option for semi final and international rugby league, because it won't be Headingley.
Everything goes in cycles and I believe we will all see that change. If you want proof look at BLACKPOOL

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

All the current super league clubs got there on playing merit, as the first franchises just gave licences to the top twelve plus the grand finalists. To get up there from the championship, you have to play your way there by winning something. It's the thought of going down when you are mid-table that is galling (although I doubt that will be our issue this year!).'"
Slugger , you weren't having to compete with a club that was plainly out of it's depth but being allowed to sign player that were ineligible to other clubs and paying them ' privately ' , it really galled at the time , I do however have a huge amount of sympathy for your plight , it is something we all pointed out when licensing was first mentioned |

That's a fair point. I suppose what I mean is if everyone had played by the rules |

All teams? Or just those in the semipro ranks? Where's the demand that the team finishing bottom of Championship 1 be relegated to the amateur ranks to make way for the winner of the RLCN? |

Don't think London or Catalans originally qualified in any way other than location. |

Where is the demand for clubs in the RLCN to be promoted to the Championships ?
If there was a demand for it , then I dont think you'd have many saying it shouldn't happen , given that we dont have enough clubs in the Championships as it is , maybe if the RFL stopped tipping 100's of 1,000's into trying to manufacture SL clubs that are totally out of their depth we would have some clubs moving up , and possibly moving down as well |
