SUPER LEAUGE LICENCES : Wed Mar 30, 2011 7:18 am  

This Thursday the R.L. will decide witch club will get a licence to play in the super leauge next season
The teams are Widnes,Halifax & Barrow.
I think Widnes will get the licence.

Of more interest to me is the team that will lose its current licence. Based on report in this weeks league weekly its not just the ground situation that will play a part it would seem its between Cas and Wakey. A condition regarding the grounds are that any new or upgraded ground must be ready for play by end of 2012 neither clubs will have this ready by then. Cas have agreed to sell current ground but a new one would not be ready in time.

Whoever loses out I hope they are able and willing to challenge the rfl and take further if required.

I think Widnes are nailed on for a licence, like spymaster says the more interesting decision is going to be who loses out.
I think it might be wakey.

How can any of them challenge it.
They all agreed to it.

You raise a valid point but it is how and what criteria determines the actual team to lose out its more about how the decision is made that may be challenged.

How can it be challenged? There will be no grounds to challenge it.

I dont care who gets kicked out.
All the clubs in SL were happy to vote for it at the start.
They were then happy for new teams to be added.
They have had there noses in the SL trough for long enough.
They have had long enough to get there house in order.

Now is the chance for someone else to try it.

Why should they challenge it? they wouldn't give a monkleys about any other team as long as they were alright. As stated previously they've all had their noses in the trough for long enough at the expense of CC and CC1 clubs, who seem to be left to rot!

Like a couple of posters here have said it matters not to me who goes. But my point which seems to have not got through is that unless the process and criteria is applied to all clubs fairly then it could leave a club that loses place ground for a challenge. For example say its decided on the ground situation as ot os how can they pick one club as the other can challenge the process but not the decision to demote a club which you say and I agree with that they all took the dosh with a view that it would not be them.

I hope it's not Fax.

No disrespect intended to their fans, they're a good lot.

However a second Super League club 10 miles away from us could be seriously detrimental to us expanding our own fan base and, more importantly for me, we'd have no meaningful derby games to aspire to unless we we're lucky enough to draw them or Br*dford in the cup.

Looks like Widnes get the nod and Halifax get a second bite when the drop is announced.

There is a remote possibility that two SL clubs might get the boot - won't that ruffle some feathers (or is that fur).
