Pratt signing for York? Really
I’d be disappointed if that happens

All these possible signings have one common thread, the players are coming to the end or have actually reached the end of their careers.

Fev ran with a squad this year averaging 31 years of age. 8 of these were 33 or older when the season started yet they've absolutely dominated the league.

Wouldn't really say the point you've brought up matters in the slightest.

May not happen but oli is a york lad hes been playing well there york prob have a good chance with img too.i know york want him and oli was on sl contract so thats xan now be ripped up,time wwill tell

It depends on the squad size because injuries will occur and age increases the risk.

It's a rumours thread. You are getting stressed about signings the club may not even have looked at yet.

I know, I was merely pointing out the similarities of all the rumours of players coming in. It’s not if I believe it but it is an interesting scenario and actually follows how the majority of championship clubs start their squads.

Has it been confirmed you are definitely getting relegated yet?
Wouldn`t be surprised if it`s another Yorkshire club going down and you stay up.
It is a rumour I`ve heard but wanted to throw it in to this thread.

Elaborate on that mucka.

Tbf things don’t look great next year for cas, I believe they are cutting the playing budget further if that’s who the rumour is about.

Yeah to be fair Leeds have been garbage this year and probably deserve it to be be honest…

That would really make a mockery of SL. Cas have already been unfairly relegated once, I'd hate to see it happen again...even if it benefited us.

Haha on the last 2 games you wouldn`t be far off mate.

Was going to say heard from a reliable source but that sounds pathetic.
Heard from 2 people that it might be Cas that go down due to the state of their ground and it not making the criteria.
Be a sad reflection on how SL is run and would be very unfair on Cas and is at this stage only a rumour.
But interestingly from 2 completely unrelated people both saying the same thing.
That`s all I know bud and please don`t build your hopes up and don`t shoot the messenger.

Yes, it's confirmed we're going down

I know I've got to work on letting the rumours flow and not getting caught up in facts and truths but come on, give me a chance.

Wouldn’t be right and tbh I think that choice would have been made some time ago.
WT are probably on the verge of, or in the process of telling staff they don’t have a job very soon - surely no such announcement would be made at this stage!

They need to do something by 2025 not next year. We are down.

Exactly this. It’s only provisional headings until 2025 season. This was made clear. Clubs will receive their grading during the 2024 season.

Yep, I agree with this.

100%.

I actually feel despite relegation, we're the team that's going to benefit from this. (Quick someone bookmark this for 3 years time so you can grief me when we're playing in league one)

Joking aside, that could happen if we don’t go down with the right attitude and preparation!
Some very good teams in the championship but to be honest I welcome a break from SL, which is dictated by Stains, Wigan, Leeds and possibly Warrington and I’m sick of it. They have the clout in SL and unless you have a backer like Derek Beaumont then you’re absolutely not going to get a rub of the Green!

It's not just cash though is it? Compare Shudds with Leigh.
With so much available and going on in such close proximity, that LSV must be the best venue in SL for a start. Go to Wigan, Saints or Wire you just get out of the car and walk into the ground. Hull KR have tried to emulate it a bit at that open end but don't really come close. Leeds does have the Headingley area to offer.

I’d hate to see us avoid relegation by default, take the relegation and hopefully come back stronger. Just out of interest AA, when were Cas unfairly relegated?

I assume he's referring to when Catalan were protected so Cas were relegated as second from bottom.
