Well this is only a rumour so I've no idea. Similar grounds to the minimum standards perhaps. Running an academy, staying solvant, set revenue generation, decent stadium etc.

Location ?

Minimum standards = decent stadium ' set by ?

Running an academy or producing players ?

Loads of potential issues

Location irrelevant to me, decent stadium, set by the RFL, running am academy, producing players becomes a benefit of that which helps other factors.

There isn't a perfect system, P&R in a small sport like ours has its own issues.

There is more to criteria than just stadium, but yes we would be hugely vulnerable at present.

Same how you bring clubs into league 1, clubs apply and are judged against criteria, and if successful are admitted to the top tier.

Look there's no suggestion licensing is set to return so this is all hypothetical, and I understand Leigh fans dislike of the structure, but it's the best way your club will grow in SL.

For me outside of a licenced SL , I stop going as I did last time , inside I don't know , but I'd guess boredom if continually near the bottom with nothing to play for would probably result in me not going

As for clubs ' applying ' , then only clubs like Toronto with huge external investment would be in with a shout

Not my criteria , or do you mean you don't need to ' comply ' with all of them ? , a bit like last times ' points system ' ?

God they change their minds with the breeze. One minute there's too many matches, the next we need more teams. Personally I like the current format except the 1st 8 comp at the end. There is nothing to play for if you are miles off the top points scorers. I would have the top 4 playing for the SL final and 5-8 for the SL shield and have a double header at Old Trafford or a separate shield final

For me, automatic promotion and relegation, no minimum standards, if Swinton etc come up, so be it.
