There just 3 clubs deep in the e .... really hope bradford can sort this mess out ... god help RL if sky ever pulled the plug .......

I think Barrow - well,owner Des Johnson did slightly more than breach the salary cap which resulted in a massive points deduction leading to relegation and him being banned for 8 years.

All the latest news does is question why some clubs need to go to the expense of a brand new stadium just to meet the Licensing Criteria for Super League.

It's probably due to the graded super league licence. We've been issued a grade C licence, as have widnes, wakefield, London and castleford. So widnes, wakefield and London should also be in the thread.

Bradford had a Grade B licence I think!

The Grade C seems to have been allocated to those clubs who did not have the stadium to the required criteria,
attendances or branding at the time the checks were made.

Interesting. If you read the Salford licence it quotes " solid commercial marketing and media plans". So to put it in Lehman's terms " we'll be marketing our new stadium and club in our local rag, and a local DJ MS will get us lots of coverage on a Local Radio station.

Thats the only solid marketing media campaign i've seen. Eat your heart out.
