Franchising : Tue Mar 29, 2011 8:09 pm  

With less than 48 hours to go before we find out which of the three 'franchise chasing' Championship clubs is awarded a licence for the 2012 season, we've put together an article dissecting certain parts of the licensing criteria to try and understand how the teams will be graded and why a team(s) will lose their licence and why at least one, but possibly all three, Championship clubs may be given the green light ahead of next season. With your involvement, I thought you may like to take a look. http://www.HKRAWAYDAYS.co.uk

Thats a pretty good article to e honest. Well balanced and factual.

Unfortunately it has little relevance to what the RFL will actually do as they make it up to suit themselves. Based on this Wakefield and Cas should be out, possibly Salford as well and Fax and Widnes should go up.
Take into account solvency, which isn't metioned here and you can take out Fulhambroncoquins and Cardiff Blue Crusaders as well.

The system would have some credibility if it were actually applied.

HKR also prove the point that there is nothing much wrong with p & r

Just noticed a bit I missed out - but thanks for the comments. Hopefully you do OK. We are from the National Leagues and for about 2,000 of us Rovers supporters who saw the NLs, we do support you all.
