Quote ="TV BOY"Both those two wont be in next time. I think Barrow and Gateshead will be the next two allowed or maybe Widnes if they have a very good two seasons. The signings that Gateshead are making smells of the Celts runnin to their inclusion to SL. I also dont think that Salford will get relegated either, only because of their geographical position. Who does that leave to come from SL. The only way to accomodate these changes and for the survival of the game I think is to make the number of teams in each league bigger. Sorry Fax fans the only reason I cant see you getting in is your map position. With Wakey, Hudds and Bradford so close I think they will opt for a team farther a field. It all points to ourselves, Fax and Widnes always being in the second tier. It is upto all these clubs to make it the top tier by having the best stadia - which we nearly already have- and the most attractively priced, entertaining game. It really bugs me that SL are always going get the best of both worlds. The best players will be brought up through the lower leagues. I know thats always been the way but with all the franchise crap it still leaves a bitter taste.'"
there are some very good posts on here. but there is a bit that i dotn disagree with.
first the person who said Bradford are going, there Bradford as much as i dont like them there is no way the RFL have the cherries to throw them out.
i agree with the person who said Fax wouldnt get it, i am already resigned to that. there are too many Yorkshire teams but we have a better ground than some pf them but they wont kick Wakey out Or Cas.
I agree that Touluse will Probably be in as i think Widnes will get in i don't think the RFL have the Cherries to turn them down again.
the only way to deal with this stupid Franchise junk is get rid of it and bring back promotion and relegation its going to come back eventually why not make it now before it comes even more of a f than it already is.
if teams like Catalans and Celtic are good enough to be in super league they should be made to do it the hardway like everyone else instead of being fast tracked in.
Rant over.
