Exactly. If we drop down to the Championship we'll be there for years. This "regroup and come back stronger" nonsense is for the birds.

Absolutely and with how things are going with IMG, it's not a quantum leap for them to put some geographical restrictions into the hat, which could preclude us or Cas from coming back up.
It's the absolute despair that gets you.
We can all take losing games, after all, its part of being a Trinity fan but, on field, we've been going backwards for a number of years and it does seem that our aim each season is not to finish bottom and it does appear that our "luck" is finally, finally running out.
KR are down on troops and yet we made them look like play off candidates.

You're absolutely right avenger .

If getting relegated is going to be the end of the club like some fans think then we might aswell give up now. We’ve just had 10 million pumped into the club. That should be the foundation to build the club up regardless what division we are in

There's more chance of us dropping out of the Championship than there is of us being promoted back into Super League if/when we go down this year

Our current full squad is mid championship table quality at best, and I can't see us somehow attracting a better class of player when we're in a lower league, but will likely lose anyone who is even remotely SL quality

We'll have less money to spend which means we'll end up having to cut back in lots of different areas - eg youth development meaning that we won't be producing as many of our own youngsters to fill the ranks

IMG are going to lock down super league making it nearly impossible for us to gain promotion, meaning there's more chance that the shock of the drop and complete restructuring will end up with us falling straight through

Re: ANGRY : Sat Mar 25, 2023 6:04 pm  

IMG aren’t locking anything down. If you get your cards in place it’s open to anyone. That’s the whole point. Even if our attendances half it’ll still be 2,000 per match which I’m guessing is top half championship attendances. We will have income streams from the ground upgrades and with regards to youth Bradford still seem to bring quality through so why couldn't we. I hope we don’t get relegated by the way I just don’t think it will be the end of us like some seem to think

So you think we’ll be relegated to the 3rd tier for the first time in our history?

A lot depends on who replaces Carter and the devil in the detail of the IMG proposal. With the stadium upgrades and stadium ownership we’re a lot better positioned than many clubs.
