Quote: Pickering Red "I agree Bev Red. I used to sell programmes for the club as a teenager in the 60s outside the old Craven Park. Aside from being an awesome (I sound like a yank) side back then, we would play 20 home league games. Charity collections were 4 of us holding a massive blanket and walking round the dog track at half time, while the old East Stand used to pelt coins into it, often missing the blanket and hitting you. No health and safety back then, so plenty of bruises. We had to go around after the blanket sometimes to pick up the coins that missed. Needless today there were plenty. Times have changed.

Anyway, I digress.

Super League would be better as a league of 15 imo. 29 fixtures including Magic Weekend. Bottom 2 automatically relegated and top 2 in Championship automatically promoted to SL. 3rd from bottom in SL would play 3rd from top in the Championship in a million pound one off leg home and away for a Super League spot. Season to start mid Feb and finish mid Oct. Top 4 would get a week one bye into Week 2 playoffs. 5 to 12 in SL would go into a week one draw and play off. Week two playoffs between surviving 8 teams would be decided by draw and by draw again in playoff Semi Finals. Then Grand Final on neutral territory.'"

I wish you lot of old men or women would stop remembering the good old days loved it then,my god when you think that Nealy all the players had to have a job and still train and play sometimes 2 games a week, And i like your Idea for the super league but you talk sense they wont do that
