I spend a few days a month over in lancs and Mersyside area and geographically there are a lot of teams withing a small area not that much bigger than Hull and surrounding villages.

Leeds - Bradford
Saints - Wigan -Warrington-Salford
All within peeing distance of each other,so don`t see why location should be an issue.
As both Hull and Rovers get good support I can`t see the problem of two teams in one city.It works in football.

The whole concept of awarding points is to disadvantage teams who don't get them.

You shouldn't create new ways of adding points for teams you know don't fit the standard criteria.

I am all for expansion but we shouldn't do it just for the sake of it and at the expense of potentially more viable traditional teams.

Guess it depends what strategic direction the RFL are heading towards. Their strategy over the last few years appears to be around expansion geographically. Personally i would review my strategy if i were the RFL and look at expanding into the RL heartlands and the viable traditional teams rather than throwing more money at an idea that i dont think works. It's about time the RFL got it into their heads that rugby league is a game played mainly by teams in the north of england across the M62 coridoor.

Unusual for a Rovers supporter.

is HULL KINGSTON ROVERS FOOTBALL CLUB LIMITED the official name for the club?

they are showing as still being within a Voluntary Arrangement dating back 5 years this can't be true can it?

7100 as a core support nowadays?

7103 wasnt it?

Not like we can say the extra 3 were Les Cats fans either!

not bad at all compared to about 2k afew years back!

Bill it wasnt, isnt and never will be.

In fact it would be ridiculous to have a tick box system, especially considering there has been no weighting.

that was just for stadia

Tell that to the RFLhttps://www.therfl.co.uk/clientdocs/Operational%20Rules%20Part%201.pdfrl

Or how about this?

"The licence application process was handled by the RFL's staff and took place in three stagesthe clubs were then divided into three categories, A, B and C based on a simple points system; and finally each club underwent a detailed analysis of their structure and business plan, the results of which were compiled in individual reports submitted to the RFL board for consideration.

"The basis for the licensing process was established in May 2005 when the RFL, in full consultation with member clubs, drew up a strategy document for Super League which basically said 'This is what we want the league to look like and this is what we want the clubs to look like,'" explained Findlay." available herehttps://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/rugby-league/RFL-boss-praises-clubs-for.4302787.jprl

This is what we want the clubs to look like? Sounds to me like there's a checklist of criteria that the RFL want clubs to meet a "tick box system" if you will.
