And Catalans

remember we should get a point for an average finish of 8 unless of course we finish 13th or 14th

.

good luck for next week ....your gonna need it

why would that result upset me?

im more concerned with their crowds tbh.

the only results i care about are LEs Cats, warrington and hudds winning, and saints / leeds losing.

also crusaders winning more than last year is important

under a system of P&R league tables are very important.

They're just as important under the franchise system

nope

gone from pretty much the only determinant to one of many

on field performance is a minor part of a teams franchise bid really.

good crowd for this game too so maybe crowds will be back up this year.

I just hope it sticks to 14 teams otherwise they're all up a creek

2 points for crowd although 1 point is based on % / league tables 1 point (average over last 3 yesrs)

better start watching the raras if you want my advice......

btw congrats on yet another classy performance.

I think they've voted already and thankfully they're sticking to 14.

thank god for that.

According to the Yorkshire Post "Wakey" voted for 12

Must mean we are confident of this development getting the go ahead? Would we have voted for 12 knowing we would be 1st in line for the chop should the stadium plans fail?

With wakey it is JUST the stadium letting them down.
If they get that they're going to be safe

As posted on the Trinity forum. It's a shot to nothing for the club. If the stadium doesn't come off they're out of SL anyway regardless of numbers. If they do get it and other's don't then they are in a strong position to retain their license regardless of numbers.

Well, if everyone doesnt get a stadium, as in lied, then they cant kick you all out now can they

Sorry dico you have lost me? Who has lied?

not crazy if you are 100% confident that the stadium will happen, big companies like Yorkcourt dont flash millions about buying land on a gamble

Oh they all have.
These grounds should have been sorted about 8 years ago.
Lied's probably the wrong word, going back on promises.
Dont forget, teams like Leigh and Widnes have grounds built, the others have been fibbing about plans for years

Still not right, I'm usually proud of my club but IF true I'm disgusted - not that they care what I think.

To be fair councils like Wigan and Halton have grounds built, the teams were just the beneficiaries, although with Leigh I’m not so sure they feel they have benefited with the move (starbug will no doubt correct me if wrong).

You're right, they're STILL not in SL

Incorrect report by YP.

Wakey voted for 14 clubs - as I would hope and most would expect!

Regarding that YP report:

Is the bit about a Co-op club being certain to be promoted something that has ever been officially stated, or the YP's own slant on things?

It was said

So far it would seem that outside the top tier , getting a new stadium isn't of any great help at all , they make it more difficult to create atmosphere , and while they might have excellent corporate facilities , outside SL there isnt actually the need for those facilities , they also cost more to play in , and as the clubs usually dont have any say in how they are run they tend to alienate the fan base

Basically they are not good unless they are at least 50 % full , so for the vast majority of Championship clubs a stadium of around 4/5,000 capacity would be better
