Aren't Fev knocking down the terracing behind the sticks replacing with hospitality boxes just to improve their own IMG rating?


Not really as it'll make no difference to Fev's IMG rating for stadium facilities. I suspect that it's because it's cheaper to do that than renovate the terracing for standing. Without said terracing I'm not sure what the capacity will be but it'll be getting close to the minimum requirement of 5k to be able to gain points.

At a fans forum not long after the provisional announcements the Club basically said that there was no way to ever get into SL under the (current) IMG scoring system so they wouldn't bother tying to.

The irony about the ludicrous IMG rating system is that 7 out of the 11 SL clubs (excluding Catalans whose accounts I cannot get hold of) are insolvent by over £2 million, far greater debt than the championship clubs. It doesn't matter who is owed the money ....... a bank, a sugar daddy or Larry the Loan Shark ......... debt is debt is debt. So if a dodgy "off field" system is concocted to manipulate the structure of SL, then solvency should be the biggest factor.

Please SKY, pull the rug and let SL implode. Then let's get back part time RL with 2 divisions where rewards are earned on the pitch.


Sky lost 224 million in 2023 so hopefully will happen sooner rather than later.

I've no idea what the viewing figures are like for RL on SKY, but the BBC games were disappointing:

Would of course be catastrophic for SL to lose TV coverage because sponsors would also pull their support if they're not having eyes on them. Did Channel 4 decline this season?

Lingard sacked by Cas so presuming he is available but also wondering if this changes the situation with Muzza.

Was thinking the same but probably going leftfield with an old janitor who watched a game of rugby once.

Absolutely if at all possible get Lingard on board, it would also show that whoever is calling the shots at the club as some idea what they are doing.

You have to wonder what it would take to tempt him but with the compo from Cas you never know.

Well realistically he's not gonna get another superleague gigg right now so from his perspective there are three jobs that would be suitable , Bradford, fax and if Aston is finished Sheffield. With Bradford interested in Henderson Sheffields saga with Aston incomplete I would be doing the utmost to strike while the irons hot , lingard to me is the perfect fit for fax , he's a likeable character has proven championship pedigree and his known for squeezing performances out of lower budget players . Whoever sponsored widdop needs to pick up the phone now.
