Not this early in the campaign we don't we won five on the bounce last season, then crash, bang, wallop
Injuries can for instance can cripple teams, I reckon after about round 12 things become clearer, I am not suggesting you will not but I am pointing out we have only played 7 games so far.

Yes thats fair enough and I realise that but we have a squad that is not going to finish so low in the table. We have started pretty slow and played some poor rugby so far, we have yet to hit some good form, hopefully this will come. If it wasn't for our no show against Wakefield in the second half, we would be sitting pretty on the same points as you guys and its been pretty poor start for us.

| Quote: fcandy "The criteria are as follows
2. An average crowd of 10,000 or more
3. An average crowd that fills more than 40 percent of a club's stadium capacity.
4. A turnover of at least £4 million per annum.
5. Solvency, in accordance with accounting definitions of solvency, although this criterion can be satisfied if there is a written owner's guarantee of the club's debts.
6. A reasonable playing strength, which is likely to be satisfied if the club has finished the season in the top eight in each of the last three years.
7. A reasonable playing contribution to junior development, judged by the number of scholarships and performances of the club's under-21 and under-18 Academy teams in the last 3 years.
8. The stadium meeting the standard of a premier sporting competition, which is judged on the quality and quantity of it's facilities in accordance with detailed criteria.
9. Geographical positionquote]
Those in red, Wakefield will gain points in. The point highlighted in green is to average a top 8 spot i believe (might be wrong though) in which case Wakefield will also gain another point. A grade B without the stadium, and if the green light is given on planning permission that may increase.

Does belle vue really hold 12k?
And does the solvency criteria discount recent winding up orders?

Surprisingly it does hold 12k although that's never really been tested barring the Cas relegation decider. Without fully knowing the in's and out's and how exactely they determine being 'Solvent' i couldn't say with certainty.

| Im not too bothered about Widnes coming up. Would love to see a Cumbrian side in the super league. I dont think the rfl would have the bottle to throw out Harelequins because they have poor attendances. Crusaders with them moving up north will help them but is that too close to Widnes. I hope Toulouse dont get a franchise this time, because they seemed to hurry the Celtic Crusaders through and look what happened, maybe next time around. If Wakefield dont get one will Halifax replace them. With the teams under threat surely that must have an effect on the length of contracts they can offer players. Could be some bargins out there next year

| Confirmation of criteria is expected late May, there could be changes There is rumoured to be some discussion about the under writing bit, which could change, because it is felt that the future of a clubs survival should not be just in the hands of one person as that frustrates developing the business.

| Very thought-provoking post.
For me, they will bring just 1 team in with one of Quins, Salford and Wakefield to go out.
Quins and Salford seem to have their problems but have (or will have) good grounds and represent a potentially huge fanbase in 2 major cities. I'm not saying it's morally right but I think they'll hold on in there.
Wakefield have made too many promises for me. Where is the ground they promised in 1998 ?? They have a poor fanbase (both home and away), limited youth development and still no sign of a new ground (if you belive their propaganda about a ground in Stanley you are a fool !). No way can SL be sanctioned at that dump (Queersmell Stadium or whetver they call it this week) for any longer.
So it's bye bye wakey for me.
Incoming, my head says Widnes but my heart says Halifax. Both are strong traditional teams and are pulling respectable crowds in the lower division. They have both proved that they pull bigger crowds at a higher level.
Barrow are too dependent on 1 man's money and a lot of short-term signings. Not enough depth to the finance or squad although I'd like to see a Cumbrian club make it to SL one day.

You really think Salford offer more than Wakefield?

And if it wasn't for getting 2 points against Cas, which was a joke, and if you hadn't played Leeds and Sts Academy teams you would be near the bottom of the league. if you lost Dobson you would finish bottom 4

And if it wasn't for a disgrace of a VR at Cas and two absolutely decimated sides in Leeds and Saints, you would be sat on two points at the bottom of the table !! ![Rolling Eyes icon_rolleyes.gif](images/smilies//icon_rolleyes.gif) Or have you chosen to ignore those facts ?? ![Shocked icon_eek.gif](images/smilies//icon_eek.gif)

I'm pretty sure both them sides had alot more international players on the park then we did, or do you ignore those FACTS?
Plus you want to talk about injuries, you beat Hudds and Bradford with both of them losing their best player prior to the game, FACT!
Dont know what you going mad about to be honest, you guys have the start you wanted and like I said, I'm not happy with the way we have played but we have got a decent point tally so far.
