TBF, In 2021 there was a strong application for a 14 team SL put forward to Ken Davey. It was looking positive until it came to the actual vote and Leigh was languishing at the bottom of the table at that time, and heading to the championship,and certain clubs then changed their tune with their vote, and Leigh went down.

I think there's more chance of us finishing the season in a play off position than there is of there being no relegation this season

Can't see it, plus it would make a mockery of the sport.

An interesting article but, talking of this season and the possibility of no relegation, it's on a par with Trinity making the Grand Final, not a bloody chance.
Of course, SL should be balanced, with no loop fixtures but, there have been many, many opportunities to implement this in the past but, with broadcasting monies falling, the SL clubs simply wouldn't vote to split the cash 14 ways instead of 12.

It sounds like a bloke down the pub telling his mate he's heard something and his mate believing it to be true.

It’d be the only sane reason why the club have just accepted the way the anniversary season has gone and done nothing to change it.

They've done loads to change it. It just hasn't worked yet.

Exactly, loan deals. Released players, brought players in. New coaching staff additions and investment from sponsors etc. there has been plenty of action taken and it could still be enough … just.

Keep supporting and we will see. Not time to give up yet.

And yet they blatantly ignored the most obvious change there was but that's not surprising in the slightest. We have a history of not making similar decisions which is what has got us to where we are today, it's happened with every single coach we have had under the current board apart from Poaching which is strange to me as he was probably one of the better ones.

We plead we don't have the budget and yet we make some really questionable decisions with the budget we do have, are we still paying Chester? Or did we honoyr his verbally agreed contract in one lump sum?

Wouldn't take much more tbh....

Bollocks. A couple of players out a retirement and a few loans here and there, completely ignoring the actual issue.

Look on the positive side, if the deal goes ahead for Matt Ellis to purchase it will be be best anniversary present the club has ever had, indeed one could equate it to the gift of life.

But if you let someone die before you bring them back to life, my guess, and I'm no doctor, is that there will be some damage to the heart.

Thats my metaphor for the day.

Not necessarily....

Thank god you're not a doctor...

Of course if you are a medical professional, but then I never said I was!
