Just pointing out the points deductions for two of the last sides in administration so that's why said 6 is comparable... That is all

As it can in RL since league position is one of the factors taken into account in the license decisions.


Yes you did, you were also trying to take the p!ss but messed it up.

Not be a problem for Crusaders from now on , if they survive financially they will be a bottom 3 club for the next 3/4 years , and lets face it since when do/did the RFL actually follow their own rules ?

Yes I did , and yes I was

With the franchise system, points deductions are irrelevant as at their present stage of developement the Crusaders were never going to finish high enough in the table to have a realistic chance of getting to Old Trafford anyway. Also, consider this - if you were interested in taking over the Crusaders, would you do it unless you were guaranteed a license in the next round of 'applications'? I wouldn't if it looked like the team were going to be put down into the Chamionship at the end of next season (also see Martyn Sadler's comments in League Express about rumoured Sky intervention in this!).

untill then next time

Championship = 9 points

Super Duper League = 6 points

doesn't seem to matter what the RFL decides - they can change the rules when they wish - it's a no-lose situation for them it seems..

Starbug,you made an error ! you're human after all ! join the club...

It will be 6 point deduction, equivalent to 3 wins. Championship clubs lose 9 points as they get 3 points for a win.

you know what, I knew it was 6 only wrote comment to say and explain that, thought had yet had wrote 9

going loco! Cheers Peps!

And spoil the only fun Leythers will have till Christmas? ...Do they have Christmas in Leigh?

please J20,if your quotation from the great DB is correct ie

'This isn't a sleeping giant, it's a giant! Denis Betts Nov 2010'

why is such a 'giant' only getting 2000ish crowds ?

Did you know that a local bethlehen farmer brought a fourth gift to baby Jesus? It was a bowl of lobby. This fact got lost in the scribes and never made it to Matthew 2:11

Joseph kicked him out of the stable for interfering with the donkey.

the farmer wasn't a chap by the name of Matt Calland by any chance ?

are you sure Joel Monaghan wasn't involved ?

No.

3,000ish even.

Hopefully you crowds will pick up. I'm sure they will.

In Super League 100% at least.

Unfortunatley the farmer had put carrots in the lobby , and baby jesus , or John Woods as he later became known prefered his lobby without the orange vegetable

In 2 years time you'll see why we're a giant.

certainly hope so - good luck

Psst.
3 losses=6 points.

Just to point out the in the Championship the punishment is actually much harsher than the one that will be dished out Crusaders. When Widnes were deducted 9 points this was in a season of 18 league games so the punishment was 9 out of a possible 54 points available = 16.67%. Crusdaers will get 6 points out of a possible 54 = 11.11%. In the interests of fairness shouldn't SL sides be deducted proportionally the same as a Championship club? As Starbug points out - not that a points deduction really matters to a SL club though.

of coure the crowds wil pick up due to : a) probably about 90% travelling/visiting supporters (except Catalans & Quins) and b)10% ish through increased local interest - the Vikings fan base won't actually increase that much so when they revert back to the Championship the crowds will be back to 2000ish -
