However the word 'derby' will be a non used word for the unfortunate heartland clubs left behind who fail to make the top four cut this season. But as long as the new boys are catered for then everything in the garden is rosy!
Fear not. The RFL are looking at setting up a "within 10 miles of
Batley" league. Each team will play within 5 miles of the next to enable fans to walk to an away game and be back home in time to milk the cows. Entry prices will be fixed at 2 and 6 and silver trophies replaced with the butchers best half dozen.
Meanwhile in the league which runs alongside it will allow teams to travel by mechanical horse, beam wireless images through the sky to magic boxes in people's homes and generally get exited about the fact that after nearly 120 years of trying the sport of Rugby League is gaining a well deserved national presence.
You never know what could happen if the fans actually start backing such initiatives?
