Then again they are patient.
They have waited over 20 years in the hope it takes off in London.

Couldn't they just merge? Take the 'Hull' of erm 'Hull' and the KR of 'Hull KR' to form Hull KR playing out of the KC Stadium in Black and Red tops.

Job done.

I know





why dont you merge with Sheffield?

Hull Kingston United !!

Sounds good to me.

I am still of the opinion that Widnes will get into SL the same time the mighty Cougars do!

Come on Keefly !!!

Blackpool in for 2015. It's a cert

Yes. I hear that it's a compromise with the Government for the lost casino opportunity.

As long as we keep the player pathway for youngsters I think we will see one or two come through before the three years are up. The ground is being looked at and if we do not get the go ahead for an improved ground at Bridgend I think we will most definitely move to either Newport, Cardiff or Swansea and to a ready made ground that meets requirements. Also crowd figures are currently above Quins average so if we can do that consistently over the next 3 years we'll be in. I think we can improve, obviously, and will do and as with success everything tends to improve with it.

Put short I think we'll be in.

I think Toulouse and Halifax to be brought in with the current crop.

I can't see Widnes getting anywhere near the GF this year and will struggle to make the NRC final so we'll have to see in seasons to come.

Don't forget Town.

1 - New SL standard stadium being built as part of the sale of the Cloffocks to Tesco.
2 - Energy Coast - initiative to bring in new Businesses which means Sponsorship opportunities.
3 - Apex of a good setup that produces many youngsters.
4 - Celtic Crusaders will have been in the SL long enough to produce Gus Risman II
5 - Improve the England / GB test squad. Lets face it they've won nowt since Town players stopped appearing on the Team list.

You are about 8 years too late but never mind.

I was being facetious

Saints will still be announcing a new stadium will be built before long - sadly they need to win the GF before it can be built so it could be a few years off



Anyone think any side that said they would have a new stadium will?

so was I.

I know

Me too.

hell would have to freeze over first before that happened

you say that now...

anyway, I can see the Bulls missing out next time.

Crowds down, lower placings in the league, old fashioned ground, loads of clubs nearby...doesnt bode well for the cattle.

welcome to this morning.

Cas might (depends how long it takes to get from the current stage of the design to construction). If not the RFL said they had a sufficient plan B.

Saints will probably tbh. Wakey...can't see it.

Bradford will have probably started on the new Odsal.

no one is going out were making the league sixteen teams.

correct!
Whilst all current and proposed teams have signed up to the "we abide by your rules" clause, if one got kicked out, the legal eagles would find a way to make it all illegal
Widnes (if they don't get in they will melt these boards) and A Another.
On this topic (slightly)....how well are leigh doing since their chairman/CEO/Board spat their dummy out this time last year? They rent their stadium and are in no way competative...........and didn't one of their best "feeder/development" clubs recently get their butts handed to them by the Welsh?

The only way I see any club being dropped is on financial grounds. Widnes would have a very strong legal argument if a team went into Administration then got a renewal. Other than that the clubs who promised stadiums would be able to offer up valid financial reasons as to why they didn't complete their stadiums as promised.
