This year we've been the best part-time team in the comp. And we've pushed Toulouse pretty hard.

Next year I don't think London will stay full-time, so it will be the usual suspects, Toulouse, York, ourselves, Fev etc. I think we can improve on this years 3rd place.

Not really any levelling of the playing field for non SL clubs...

If anything it increases the advantageous position of current SL clubs, but no surprise there. Really we need expansion to be in with a chance of getting into the top flight again.

The only way in is if a SL club goes belly up IMO. Otherwise the odds are stacked against us.

Well judging by Salfords current plight and having emergency auditors go in, I don't think it's too far fetched an idea of this happening. When you look at the numbers, the idea this stadium deal is going to be the silver bullet is just dreaming. Fact is though they don't lose any IMG points still and actually aren't far off a grade A which just makes the whole IMG process a sham.
