Season Passes 2024 : Tue Oct 17, 2023 11:13 am  

Still no news or details about 2024 season passes.

Is this because a) we are waiting for the ownership issue to be settled and the prices to be set or b) we do not know what league we are in yet !

I highly doubt that we will be exempt from relegation this late in the party.

Unless…

The issue with clubs pulling out means a critical reshuffle of merging the clubs into the championship from league 1 and promoting 2 to SL along with Trinity remaining.

Interestingly though would the players who had contracts at trinity then re-activate.

All the above completely wild thinking though and I’d be 99% certain it’s just patience till takeover is confirmed. I would imagine a lot of these things are already waiting to co and be announced soon as takeover completes.

They are not going to change the league now. We are playing championship next year.
I think it would actually be very bad for us if they kept us in.

There is every chance that L1 and championship will change with the 2 conference format being pushed again, which may see a U-turn from Newcastle

Agreed. We would be so far behind everyone, more so than last year.

Regardless you don’t turn down a spot at the top table if it’s offered.

And automatically get the benefit of televised weekly games with video refs.

And…..

Higher away fans attending.
Super league money.
More img points for finishing position.

The list can go on.

To turn down a SL spot would be pure idiocy yes.

It might be a bit of a scramble to get a few players in but the 4 year deal indicates a plan to improve over time of SL is reached. It would be no different if we were in SL next year. Ellis ultimately wants a playoff SL challenging team after 4 years.

I think it will be interesting to see attendances next year in SL, if all games are on TV then that would stop a few going across the M62.

No way, we would be far better than last season. We will have a decent coach and most important someone running the rugby side who knows what they are doing, unlike clueless Carter.
