Introducing a full junior section, is a must. Even at the expense of having less first team squad members.

I think Sir Fax is meaning the not so distant future of 3 years - which really I suppose (glass half full) its not a lot of time.

Well add that into the 3 years we have already waited then i am sorry to say that 6 years in sport is a freakishly long length of time. Everything in the lower Leagues have dropped off in the last 3 years, add less sponsorship, less fans, Less money in the economy to spend on entertainment etc and it is just a very sad state of affairs. Imagine following a team like sheffield for another 3 years ?. No real ground, Small group of dedicated fans, No SL aspirations ( well i am sure they have but without fans and ground is never gonna happen )

I am lucky i am a fax fan in this league i tell ya.

But we have not ticked the on field box if we had won the northern rail cup I would agree with you.

I can't believe its been 8 seasons we've been playing in this league.

We had 5 chances to get promoted, (6 if you count the franchise fiasco)

Why do the RFL stipulate youth squads within heart land clubs?

There's more Hx district amateur clubs (offering youth rugby) per square mile than probably anywhere in the world.

Surely heartland clubs just need an entry level team ie 18's and / or 23's for prospecitve local talent to try out the professional game?

Next boxes are Tic-Tak boxes. Depending on how many your team sells.

would not surprise me if was not allowed to tick any boxes this year until other teams are known to be in championship one so can all start on a level playing field.










sorry forgot was on about RFL and level playing field, never happen.
