I agree. On the postive side:

1. The RFL have confirmed we meet the minimum criteria. As such, provided we tick the on field criteria for the next round in 2015 then, applying the precedent just set with Widnes, it will be our turn to get the nod.
2. Batley do the best pie, chips and gravy in the world so there's at least 4 more servings to be had before we return to our place in the sun

The above assumes that we won't get the place in July. I can't see the RFL giving two current teams the boot. Our best bet will be if they do a last minute rule change and increase numbers by 1.

It is nothing to do with the RL ' Community '

What you are saying is the RFL are so pathetic and corrupt that even words of dissapointment and agreivement at the decision will rule you out of any further applications , now that is pathetic

Too right, get a good run of Champion style performances n results and create a big positive atmosphere about the club. Will be tough as naturally fans will be downbeat and negative about the future but if anything this should spur your team on to prove the RFL wrong and that it should be you playing at the highest level. You've done it off the field now, just keep doing it on.

Ha! Forget this date - Ralph Rimmer confirmed with his gaffe last night that we won't be considered for a license. What a prick. What a bunch of weasels the RFL are. Why don't they grow some balls and start being honest with the fans who watch the game?

Looking at our forthcoming fixtures this is a big game that we must win now. Come on lads just do it.

Just like to wish you guys good look in the next round of application, we all know what it feels like to miss out on the day.I know there was a lot of banter between the two sets of fans beforehand but thats due to the passion of all of us.
I believe that your bid is more solid than three our four SL teams so lets hope thr RFL do it fairly this time.
Would be nice for us to play you in the first game of the new SL season

Once again good luck
