For what it’s worth; Martin Jepson was interviewed on the COYF cast recently & was a little ambiguous regarding some IMG points/processes etc & I just put it down to him playing his cards close to his chest rather than being wrong or “not being all over it” & I’d say the same for Matt Ellis. It serves them no purpose to be wholly transparent & in some instances could be quite damaging.

Cas have been doing lots of ticket deals this season in a desperate attempt to keep their attendance figures up.
It could be very tight for the last couple of spots.
Lets hope there is nothing coming out of the sky to cause an upset !

Plus their crowds are terrible and after all these years, they still have not improved. They would not be missed in my opinion

I wouldnt be sure PT, Leigh have made progress with academy and foundation apparently, Cas have made improvements on facilities and finance and they were missing 0.5 last time around. Huddersfield have made no progress at all it seems. Looking at the higher grade Bs, it's going to be close with a lot of clubs in the rankings.

Well I guess we'll fing out in October.

Academy doesn't score you any extra IMG points and their foundation is a still a long way behind Wakeys and most of the other SL teams
