We seem to be very negative on here lately. we have a good club a good team who have done well this season and some very dedicated supporters group.
The people who buy clubs may in reality own them but they are just custodians with a responsibility for the future and heritage of the club. Halifax is my club, always has been, always will be.

Not really. The club DOES "belong" to the supporters. Just like a pub belongs to its drinkers and Greggs belongs to its customers. No drinkers = no pub. No customers = no Greggs. No supporters = no rubgy league clubs.

Club goes under no supporters.

The supporters group would have had very little influence as to how the club voted to be honest. I would be both amazed and disappointed if the club voted in favour of the new proposals.

It seems that the finances have been rejigged a little, hence the apparent change in the Championship clubs' viewpoint.
On the assumption that the financial deal is now satisfactory, I don't have a big issue with the outcome, other than we now have a situation whereby, with a fotnit to go to the end of the season, clubs who thought they were relegated now find that they haven't been relegated after all - yet. In fairness, $uperleague have had no part in that - it was a purely Championship decision.

Agree. As long as we don't get short changed then a top 5 play off consisting of only Championship teams with a guaranteed promotion is a far better system than the middle 8s. It still has the excitement of getting into the top 5 and also gets rid of the dreaded amd pointless Championship Shield.
