Salford are a good example.
They are right on the edge of 0.5 to 1 point because of Swinton.

Realistically Swinton are not taking any crowd away from them....so is unfair.

Yet at the same time, compared to us they have a challenge of both football and Rugby Union very near by.

None of that is considered.

The owners of Bulls RLFC have put a bid in for the lease of Odsal, which is currently up for sale.
Should they be successful,would they be classed as "the owners" of Odsal, even though it's leased, and would it be more valuable to Bradford Bulls regards their IMG points score regards Stadium.

Do Saints get full points for the electronic advertising boards? Looked on Sky that they only had them on one side and not even all the way down that.

There's a note to say they should be 3/4 around but can be discussed if there is good reason why not. Like emergency access etc.

Well only my opinion but the rule isn't that you own it. The rule is that no other tenant has priority over your games. So you have to be able to play whenever the fixtures arise.
So if you are the only tenant then probably OK......but it says you need that on an official agreement if you don't own.

Not good for Wigan because they have to play the majority of their early games away because of the needs of the football club.

They should standardise the pitch size too and award points for that. It's a joke that they can vary so much, an expectation that they are level should also be present.

I was simply referring to the lift in IMG points being discussed

At the end of each football season the Wigan pitch is repaid and Warriors have to play all their games away from home for about 5 weeks. On the run in they play 10 of their last 13 at home.

That's not an advantage at all...
