Quote ="G1"Adey is a reasonable poster who posts reasoned opinions. However, he does have a weak spot where Leeds are concerned and his persona often slips exposing a bit of a rabid and unbalanced view where we're concerned.

He's the supporter equivalent of Chris Caisley then.
I also agree with your summation of the McDermott/Fielden skirmish at Valley Parade. The initial challenge that Fielden objected to was completely legal. Ganson couldn't have got it more wrong if he tried.
Quote ="phil stone"I don't know if you're aware of this being one of the top of SL clubs but Batley can apply because they have won the Northern Rail cup yet Fev who so far have only lost 2 league games and have won the minor championship trophy or whatever it is called can't unless they reach the grand final which is nothing more than a glorified play off comp. In theory if we pick up injuries or have 2 bad games after being consistant all season we aren't allowed to apply. Stupid rule, yet Toulouse don't even need to reach a Grand Final or win the Northern Rail cup to qualify because of their special circumstances.'"
Those are the rules and they have been in place for two seasons. What happened to Featherstone in the Northern Rail Cup? Did they give it a high enough priority?
The inclusion of the Northern Rail winner extends the possible ways to tick the box. That would be welcomed by the Championship clubs I'd have thought.
I wasn't aware that Toulouse could apply without ticking that particular box. If true then that is just wrong.

Tonight's crowd at the Knoll will be interesting. Will it top 1,000?
