No. It only counts for top two divisions.
If they get promoted they do.

Same applies to Leeds and Hunslet.

Edit: but now I've checked. 50% of both populations still put them in top tier

That’s rubbish. How are you supposed to improve on those scores? It’s not in the clubs control which is barmy.

Effectively we could be better slightly in all areas within the clubs control but could still miss out by a small margin due to population not within clubs control. Seems bananas that.

I remember JM said he made a big deal about that and although he got some positive responses they said they wouldn't be changing it for at least the first year.

Salford are a good example.
They are right on the edge of 0.5 to 1 point because of Swinton.

Realistically Swinton are not taking any crowd away from them....so is unfair.

Yet at the same time, compared to us they have a challenge of both football and Rugby Union very near by.

None of that is considered.

The owners of Bulls RLFC have put a bid in for the lease of Odsal, which is currently up for sale.
Should they be successful,would they be classed as "the owners" of Odsal, even though it's leased, and would it be more valuable to Bradford Bulls regards their IMG points score regards Stadium.

Do Saints get full points for the electronic advertising boards? Looked on Sky that they only had them on one side and not even all the way down that.

There's a note to say they should be 3/4 around but can be discussed if there is good reason why not. Like emergency access etc.

Well only my opinion but the rule isn't that you own it. The rule is that no other tenant has priority over your games. So you have to be able to play whenever the fixtures arise.
So if you are the only tenant then probably OK......but it says you need that on an official agreement if you don't own.

Not good for Wigan because they have to play the majority of their early games away because of the needs of the football club.

They should standardise the pitch size too and award points for that. It's a joke that they can vary so much, an expectation that they are level should also be present.

I was simply referring to the lift in IMG points being discussed
