Nah, can't really believe that, the clubs couldn't agree 'unanimously' on the Christmas card list, let alone something important.

Yeah, good point. I can't imagine Swinton, who currently reside second bottom in the Championship voting for it....

Or clubs say 3 to 8 in champ one as surely there chances of promotion have improved?

Well Mick tweeted earlier that the RFL EGM vote on the new structure is due to take place on the 14th Sept. So I guess we'll see what's what by the end of September then.

I’ve seen/heard a good few interviews recently where L1 clubs seem to be in favour of the proposed change

I think the issue is less about the L1 to Championship side of things. The big gap that no-one seems to be bringing up is what happens to P&R for Championship and SL if the Middle 8's are removed.

From what I understand it’s 12th down, 1&2 from champ play off in the million pound game for promotion. This at least would guarantee P&R each year. When it comes to a vote the 12 Superleague clubs get 2 votes, and everyone else gets one, with a simple majority needed to pass the vote. So given that Leeds will not vote for the change, the remaining 11 SL clubs plus 3 others would secure change. Sounds very likely to pass on that basis.
