TS IMO - it's hardly fair they're all stealing the places of clubs like Widnes and Barrow who'd contribute a lot more to SL.

It would bring balance to the already unfair point for not being near another SL club.

I personally believe FC and Rovers should be given a point because they have the following

A) In a catchment area large enough to support the growth of the clubs inside it
B) In An Area which is at least 60 Miles From 85% of Clubs in The Competition.
C) Have a large amount of fans that are prepared to travel those distances

To penalise Hull clubs because they do not add to the geographical spread of SL to me seems wrong. In fact the only rational reason for awarding Clubs outside the heartlands an extra point is so they get more than clubs that the RFL don't want in SL.

What advantage does not being close to another SL club bring to SL?????

Well they're debatable points I know, but iirc we weren't too far off the turnover point last time round. As far as solvency is concerned, I suppose thats down to how the RFL gauge it. Our debt is underwritten and apparently we can provide strong evidence that it can be sustainable in the very near future.

I guess if the likes of cas, salford and wakefield are in on (yet) another promise of a new ground, we should get the same benefit of the doubt with our finances.
