At least they will start off in C1 and not fast tracked.
Best of luck to whoever gets in.

Youv'e a short memory dave.

As long as they have to abide by the same rules as the rest why not.

Even the "Don't even begin to think you're worthy of Super League, be grateful for the **** we shovel you" rule?

Are there any others?

The momentum rule?

Or is that jsut for SL?

good luck to who ever they're I hope they do well.

Think Bristol are the frontrunners, and I was impressed with the set up at Coventry when I went there in the summer. I think it's inevitable that they get [isome[/i allowances for a year or two until they're able to build their own player base, but I certainly think there is a happy medium between the existing rules and those well and truly flouted by (Celtic) Crusaders.

It's nice to see other clubs that are being run the right way getting rewarded with the opportunity to play C1 rugby

When you see how Skolars & Gateshead are seasonally dominated it's probably some good competition for them both now well initially

For what it's worth, Skolars have won more league games this season than Hunslet, Dewsbury, Toulouse, while Crusaders, Harlequins and Wakefield have all only won one more game despite having six more fixtures.

true but Gateshead haven't won a single league game this season so there'll be happy for someone to compete against

Gateshead v Bristol. I wonder how many away fans will make the trip for that one?

Probably the same as some teams in this league take away from home!

If Bristol do join C1 does that mean Wurzel will have divided loyalties???

Not if I have anything to do with it.

Get them away in the Northern Rail and the Bristol Centurions pub can put us up?!!

Now that's a shout! Apparantly there's been bother in there because they show Leigh games on thursdays now and not football or yawnion.

So nothing definate , just the usual ' waffle ' about how confident they are of the Championships future , " there has been concern from the fans " ? , hardly surprising

I get the feeling they are going to cock this up again , 4 teams introduced in 1 hit ? , or over a couple of seasons ?

Just pick out a club , help them , but not at cost to other clubs , when they are building sufficiently to be let loose , then find another

Positive news. Hopefully as said we get one in the NRC comp



Also about the Premier Sports televising, if it comes off then we should all back this channel by subscribing. Might be a good move if it happens, as I'm sure we won't be over shadowed by SL as much on this channel.

Positive news ?

What exactly is the positive bit ?

All if's and maybe's as far as I can see.

The usual ' Spin ' , no substance , nothing definate , nothing guaranteed , just lots of ' The Office ' gobblydegook

And thats why the likes of LL keep falling for it.

" Continuing positive contribution to the ongoing strategic review " ?

WTF ?

" The fans have shown there frustration " , damn right we have ,
