When Matt was talking on Sunday he said he was in touch with ING every week and he was confident of 2 more points .in the ratings Did he not say that he was after a high B ground by end of season

14.5ish so no.

Above Salford and the Farts though, don't see how their scores will massively improve (baring a CC win).

We know we are expected to score 4.5 and Cas think 4.1 this is the scores for around our area

8. Salford Red Devils – B – 13.80 – Super League

9. Huddersfield Giants – B – 13.49 – Super League

10. Toulouse Olympique – B – 12.97 – Championship

11. Wakefield Trinity – B – 12.52 – Championship

12. Leigh Leopards – B – 12.45 – Super League

Championship
13. Castleford Tigers – B – 12.16 – Super League

Not heard much about what Leigh, Toulouse Hudds and Salford are doing to improve

For me will be London down Toulouse stay in Champ and us to replace London

I can see the same tbh. With the last grading is not having any east stand etc and likely improvements there and finances I can see us being in the SL next season.

Still work to be done and to give ourselves every chance we need to secure the guaranteed points where possible.

The LED boards are guaranteed and I’d be having them in before the gradings to submit. Might cost a bit but if it helps secure SL money instead of championship it will pay back somewhat.

Otherwise we just need the performance points to give us the edge.

Interesting point on attendances, it will be "Real" numbers rather than season tickets plus walk in and away fans. Not to much as a blow for us are we would struggle to hit 7,500 but for Cas it's a blow as the match attendances are over 7.5k but real attendance will be under so they will only hit the score for over 3,500

The points for electronic ad boards is very small. So I guess clubs are wondering if it's worth it. Just checked it's 0.125

Yes it is but it’s not small if your 13th by 0.1 and it costs you amongst 1million in SL funding.

I think the boards are about the last think stadium improvement wise we can do and it’s not just an investment for 1 year but for many future years.

I wonder if the south boxes could have electronic LED’s going up the tiers. Would look very interesting.

The LED boards could add animations or other things when try’s and goals are scored. Could enhance the match day a fair bit.

I'm pretty sure they'll mostly know where they stand.
If you are 12th or 13th you'll know you are at risk.
Just the same as P&R

Only if Cas genuinely improve. They are at risk from Toulouse.

The point of electronic board is not to get points. That's just the criteria to show progress and improvement.

The reason IMG put them on the list is it is a potential major income source.
Static boards are sold for the season. There is a limit to what people will pay and you can only have a limited number per season.
LED allows you to sell space by the minute. If we are in SL and on Sky or BBC, the revenue from those boards could be massive if you market it right.

I guess the marketing team will know what income we can generate. I think Matt Ellis will have already looked at the pros and cons
