Are you asking why it isnt likely a group of SL quality young players wouldnt be relegated from the Championship? it seems fairly self-evident to be honest.
Quote Repeat what ?'" look back you will see. Its fairly obvious, i helpfully pointed out to you which is how we got here.
Quote No you havent , what ' facilities ' exactly ?'" look on the previous page, i listed what the club could prepare for their entry into SL. You know 'facilities and stuff'

| Quote ="SmokeyTA"well, i would expect any heartland clubs with SL ambitions are already in the championships.'"
So you mean any heartland club can apply for SL , and if they are accepted be given 3 years in the Championship to prepare , and they prepare by being a Championship club ?
And yet you have argued many times that the Championship cannot prepare a club for SL , you need to put a club IN SL for it to become a SL club
Contradiction time

i would give ones in that position a year or two to prepare. Yes.
I have already pointed out the difference to you, look on the previous page,
EDIT: in fact to save ourselves the fannying about of you desperately trying to avoid admitting you have no point
Quote ="SmokeyTA"I've have argued you can't grow an SL club in the championships, and i dont believe you can.
But i certainly think you can put the infrastructure in place and prepare very well for SL, and benefit from that preparation time whilst in the Championships.'"

So a non heartland club with probably very few fans pays for SL quality juniors and a SL quality coaching team ?

not solely to buy better players and better coaching staff,
they would be looking at younger SL quality players, and players with the potential to be.

Widnes will have a 90 % different team 2011 to 2012 , if they dont they will get absolutley smashed , so any pretence that they have prepared is just that

So your problem with using the 2/3 years a club would have in the championships to set up and prepare their academy, maybe give a shot and a bit of experience to some young players and rough diamonds
Along with setting up their infrastructure, spend more time selling sponsorship for SL, more time selling tickets and corporates for SL, bedding in a coaching team and generally preparing would be?????

i dont think they would have much of a problem helping fun a team which is joining SL. Similarly I expect Sky would see the logic in putting a bit more in for the team coming up.
