1- % of stadium capacity
2- Solvency
3- No salary cap breaches
4- Average 8th (If we end up 4th this year then we can finish 13th next year to get this point)
Can anyone think of any more which would give us 5 and a 'B'?

If we finish 3rd this season then our average 8th will be done and dusted.

I expect the homegrown point to be done away with due to the academy quota.

I also understand that the 1200 added onto our East Stand will give us a tick for a 12,000 capacity so we are in a good position to get a "Grade B" licence.

I feel sure that a point is gained for being 8th or better in all 3 seasons and not by averaging them out.

But I will be happy to be proved wrong if anyone has any evidence.

keep clutching at them straws

The point is definately an average of the 3 preceding seasons. When Angela Powers was grading on Boots n All, Salford had an average of 8.6667 (or something similar) but she decided that was worth a point.

Also Mr Zod, I believe the capacity point was given at 14,000 - I'd be happy to be proved wrong - so we'd need the new North stand building to achieve this.

Probably worth mentioning that these were the points for the 2009 round of franchises and these may change or at least be made more testing ie 16,000 capacity, £4.4m turnover (£4m turnover was worth a point if I remember correctly)

I thought it was 14000 as well

I'm sure Angela Powers thing was 12,000...

The points system as you describe was not used by the RFL last time around, it is for the next round of franchising, although Ms Powers decided to use it for her own reasons.

I'm pretty sure that the stadium requirement is 12,000 hence the rash of 12,000 capacity grounds (and plans).

Its a "B" then

It is, thats all Wakey are building

It is deffo an average mate.

I think it is 12k, but also not sure you lot should be extending the east stand above sorting out the away support. IMO of course.
