I don't think he's critisising the concept of promotion and relegation. He's critising a concept whereby 17 men have their, their team-mates and many more people's jobs on the line in one 80 minute televised event that has been created for 'entertainment'.

I didn't enjoy watching the match this year when my team wasn't in it. I won't enjoy watching it with my team in it. I won't be celebrating if we win either.

The tension last year when we played Wakefield was incredible. All day you felt sick before the match then during it was awful.

So when you get two teams whose fan base is made up of a load of chavs like today - they are and they both have history for this. You were bound to get some disorder. It wasn't heysel or anything though. From the video I've seen most of them look like kids - who can't throw a punch properly.

Start both Salford and KR on minus 20 points next season or make them play in front of empty grounds that will nip it in the bud.

Hell no!

I was there last year and I've got to say that both fans and clubs (with the exception of Jimmy Lowes) remained respectful throughout the game and in the celebrating/commiserating afterwards

I agree. Thought the Bulls fans handled it really well last year and there was just general relief from the Wakefield crowd.

"It's what happens with relegation and when all the funding in the top league is nowhere near the same in the second." Said Hull KR coach, James Webster.
Well, no s**t, Batman?

I wasn't bothered who won the MPG up to the point where the bleating from Hull KR started. They like all SL teams were happy to take the money for themselves but as soon as it doesn't suit them any more, we get this.
Championship teams have had to get by on scraps for years and SL was happy to let it happen.
For Hull KR it is simple...they have failed to win sufficient games to qualify for SL whereas other teams have.
It is sport and losers get nothing and now they know what that means.

Less than impressed by JP too.
