I think everyone agrees that if it's one down, one up, then the glaringly obvious choice to come up would be Widnes, which is why it probably won't be
Personally I 'd lose one of the invented clubs and be damned to the false expansion the RL is so fond of. Grass roots development please.
On that note, does anyone know if any pro clubs are affiliated or have close ties with amateur clubs outside the homelands? I'm thinking of things like helping out with equipment, training methods, conditioning and so on. The return is first pick on any promising youngster coming through. I haven't given this any deep thought particularly but it seems like a realistic idea on the surface at least. Thoughts?
Yeh I know it is. No where near SL standard its a disgrace and has been for a number of years. I am not saying Barrow should have got in btw, just saying I would like to see them in it in the future. As far as I am aware they have scrapped their academy system as well which is also one of the major criteria. Central Park is beyond redevelopment, its new ground or stay in the lower leagues for them, I just suggested that I thought a groundshare with the towns football team was a possible solution.
