Quote ="jonny the leyther"Maybe the idea should be to have a National League 1 of 14 teams with the same format as Super League with the division below being NL2 for developing clubs like Gateshead, South Wales, Bramley etc. If a place has ambitions to be in Super League, this is where you start.'"
I agree, I'd like to see more teams in the championship. Although I do like watching the matches, espicially awaydays, I've already been to: Featherstone twice, Widnes 3 times, Batley twice, Leigh once, Dewsbury once, Halifax twice. So some extra teams would be good IMO.
Extra matches will also give extra income to Championship clubs. I think the RFL should be able to find 24 clubs outside SL, this would be ideal.
I'd really like to see:
National League 1: Barrow, Batley, Featherstone, Leigh, Dewsbury, Crusaders, Halifax, Hunslet, York, Swinton, Whitehaven, Workington, Sheffield, Keighly.
National League 2: South Wales Scorpions, London Skolars, Gateshead, Doncaster, Rochdale, Warrington Wizards, The Bristol team on Boots N All, Coventry, Hemel Hempstead, Oldham.
