I did bud, whilst i was only 13 my Dad took me to every home game.....i was there at the Huddersfield game, 3 major memories

a) Hudds fans singing 'the Dons are staying down...staying down...staying down'

b) Vila Matautia scoring a match winning try but before grounding the ball holding it in one hand...something me dad frowned upon

c) a can of coke costing......50p!!!! FIVTY BLOOMIN PENCE!!!!!!!

Great memories tho...and of course i was at Mount Pleasent in the promtion game against Batley....its what promotion is all about

Yes because at that time the people in charge did not consider the possibility of something going wrong , something it seems the current administration also dont ever seem to consider , how many times do ' loopholes ' appear that should have been considered , and then the RFL and the sport end up with egg on their faces again

My inquiry about the make up of the Championships next season is an example , we have teams playing in Championship 1 , with 5/6 games left not knowing how many if any propmotion places are up for grabs , it is quite ridiculous

I know and thats why I said went bust and were relegated not went bust due to being relegated.

So at least you got one right

By the same logic you should be in favour of franchising because it does allow teams to plan or are you saying that being allowed to plan should only be for the teams in the championship? I agree that it's silly with teams not knowing how many places are available however I also believe the three year franchising plan has been a step in the right direction. I would go a step further though and seek to extend that three years to four with a view to making it five years.

Entirely entitled to your opinion
