Even better then.

We should know where we'll be playing long term and have a better team on the field and will have improved things off it by that time.

Aye... but it might be grim watching next season!

I think that's probably a touch over the top. We need some continuity, and a few players e.g. O'Hara, Lupton have impressed almost every week. However, players who were stars in the team in NL2 inevitably can't progress all the way.

Teabag wont ever let you down.

So 2 years to get onto a positive movement

So surely next year has to be a good year? If Celtic have a rubbish season in 2010, the 2011 season starts in mid February, it would only give 2 months to go from poor to competitive. Would be one hell of a gamble to deliberately reduce spending next year in order to spend more in 2011.

If crowds are down next year then that wouldnt look good at all in the licence application. The only thing that could happen is that if performances and crowds are poor in 2010 but great in 2011, even though the licence application would have already gone in, the RFL might still take that into consideration.

Alternatively you could just go all out next year to build on what you have started and if you have a good year and crowds are up, that might already be enough to earn another licence regardless of what happens in 2011. In terms of championship clubs who want to go into SL, we're only concerned what happends this year and next - 2011 is certainly too late for us to earn any brownie points.

Not really much to do with Clearing out, more the opposite I suppose but didnt think the post warranted a new thread, anyways is Geriant Rhys Davies the same guy who has played for you in the National Leagues?

And good to see Lloyd White make his debut, heard his name a lot in reports for your junior sides so good to see.

Yes he is the same Geraint Rhys Davies and it was good to see Lloyd play a first team game, think he did ok given his age and experiemce.

Heard Ben Jeffries from Bradford signed for next season, only a rumour mind.
