Mate.
There's as much chance as a snowball in hell of the current BOD putting this club at risk in an ill thought out attempt to get into SL.
Of course they would love this club to be there but will not gamble all in an attempt to get there.

They would rather we stay where we are and if we remain competitive so would I.

For me it wasn't necessarily about being in SL but more of a chance of being there without being cut off left to stagnate.

I agree as long as we (and every other club outside SL) have a chance to compete for promotion then we cant really complain. Its what we have wanted? If we dont make into the top flight so be it. Yes Im sure we would all like Fax to be playing in SL as a top performing club but it might not happen. The thing with licencing that peeved me off was the closed door mentality, no one has a right to be in that league it has to earnd by the team winning on the pitch.

four matches at the shay against SL opposition could be worth two or three times what fax make through the gate in a season at present.

Just the 2 against SL opposition, the other 2 against Championship opposition

As I posted earlier, nothing has actually changed with this restructure, it boils down to clubs managements ability to build their clubs financial income streams, it is that and that alone which will decide who ultimatly plays in SL

Super League has agreed a deal with energy supplier First Utility to become the competition's title sponsor for the next three years.

The value of the sponsorship agreement has not been revealed.

It will be 36 months of free gas and electric for all the RFL board and the SL Chairmen and a candle for everyone else except Fax who aren't allowed to have any sources of ignition.

Everything has changed on the pitch because they will be playing for the chance to move up or avoid moving down.

As you say off the pitch will have the main bearing on what happens on it, at least now there is a greater incentive for those working behind the scenes to either invest more themselves and / or to attract new investors because allthough the way forward is a narrow road at least it's not a cul-de-sac as before.

There'll still be minimum standards to be met. Something that is being glossed over.

Don't think that's mathematically possible, Starby. Not for all the clubs.

Championship clubs will play 4 home matches, SL clubs will play 3 , so by my reckoning Championship clubs will play 2 at home against SL opposition and 2 at home against Championship opposition

Please explain, what do you think the minimum standards will include, to whom will they apply, who is doing the glossing over and what are you basing this on.

There are six games involving the four Championship clubs.

If four clubs get two each at home, that's eight home teams in those six games.

Conversely, if they only play one away, that's only four away teams in the six games.

Sorry mate, when you start working it out, it doesn't compute.
