If Barrow win the Trains Cup that will be one qualifying criteria they tick though , putting them possibly ahead of Fax and Widnes.

TBF I don't think Barrow would be anywhere near a grade C licence so i very much doubt they would even bother applying.

I confident widnes will beat barrow on sunday.We hitting form at the right time.Be great to play you again but in superleague.

Other thing we got a better fan base and stadium than barrow.

You may well be right , but they've done very well up to now this season signing some decent players .
Maybe they were more looking the next round of franchises in approx 5 years time.

It was mentioned on Sky Sports News that Celtic had financial troubles , but I can see some sort of cash injection by the RL/SL.

Failures at Paris and Gateshead after one year did not imporove the games image, and of course London has been saved before.

Yes we need a widnes fan in rfl headquarters who runs the show.

Wow, arn't you two great adverts for the city.

Looking at your Avatar, you have every right to be disgusted

The Widnes bit I would support but kicking out sides I would not want teams out side our northern heartlands to go as they bring a lot more to our game. Any way why do any teams need to go, with the play off & franchise system you can add as many sides as you wish just as the Americans do wit the NFL, ice Hockey baseball & basket ball. I would also sooner trvel to the south of France than Widnes.

Who wouldn`t

Well widnes have much of a right as wakey,salford etc for a franchise.To stop biterness i think promotion and relegation be more fair.So everyone is on a fair playing field.I sure if london,salford,wakey spent 4 yrs in national league their fan base would go furthur down.To me everyone seems selfish saying dont care as long as their team in superleague.I sure if wakey,cas,hkr etc in our situation,would moan aswell.I just think it all a joke from rfl.How unfair bailing out london and celtic next.Bunch of s i think.
