Only 1 team can be considered, and it ain't Fax or Barrow.
Widnes will return IMHO.
Fanbase for Fax and Barrow is pants. If other teams had the same calibre on board, other clubs attendances would far exceed Fax and Barrow.
No-one else is within a sniff and that includes my team (Leigh) !

Agreed even as a Fax fan Widnes are way in front and deserve a shot at SL. Fax need to get a bigger fan base and sort the Academy Section out. Barrow are a Joke who have a smaller fan base than Fax-despite the Bandwagoners jumping on recently.Barrow have a dump thats not even fit for the Championship especially with them lights and a Chairman who is a control freak who thinks he can buy his way to anything despite the club lacking in basic facilities.
The Poll just shows how desperate people are in Barrow as there is nothing to do except vote on a small website. There is no way Barrow will ever have 20,000 watch them as that Poll seems to indicate.A Poll with Multiple voting does not show the reality

| You're all correct of course. Barrow have no chance, crap crowds, crap stadium and have no income other than Des Johnson's cash.
Great to be completely igorant of the facts and plans isn't it !
BTW, there could very well be more than 1 team 'promoted' from the Championship in 2012.

| If the RFL want Barrow there, they'll be there regardless. They'll be put up and given time to sort themselves out with stadia just like Celtic (or just Crusaders now I should say), Cas, Salford etc. 'Rules' don't apply to the rule makers.

How very bitter you are! Haha must come from winning nowt again.
I believe your average crowds, (not inc NRC) was all of 30 or 40 more than Barrows.
True the ground is a dump, but who made you the auditor for what is acceptable for the Championship? The reason the ground is a dump is obvious, it is owned by the club and therefore maintained by the club. When times are hard (and they have been mighty hard at Craven Park in the last 20 yrs) the ground is the least priority. At least now with some success, increased crowds and a desire to improve CP, we should see some improvements. Who knows it may even meet your exacting standards TLBC.
The Poll is a load of b0ll0cks. I would suggest looking at it that some wag of ours has written a cheeky bit of code. haha
As for Franchise, Widnes deffo. Fax? I cannot see or what they would bring to the competition. All talk Fax.

I have to say I partially agree although it seems the RFL are doing their best to keep this league part-time and under funded.

yeah the only thing you have is location
lets face it you dont have much else going for you at this point.
as for the franchise, most fax fans i think are already ready to be shaffted by the RFL and left out in the National leagues for years to come, so i am already prepared for it.
the only good thing Barrow have is location, what else can you say ticks your franchise box apart from winning the grand final of course and congratulations again on that achievement, but there is nothing else but them 2 things going for you.
i fully expect Widnes to get in, who else, although we dont have the location we have other things, so Halifax, Baroow or Toulouse for the last spot, if 2 go up.
but rest assured i am already prepared for dissapointment, were just not in the expantion zones now are we.
now excuse me am off to do a protest outside RFL headquarters until my demands are met
