Am i the only person who is looking forwad to a few season in the championship?

plenty of derby games on a thursday night, a good chance of actually winning the league, potiential of a good day out at blackpool. I am a bit fed up of superlague we cant touch the top teams at the moment.

championship games are much more entertaing for me personally so looking forward to it.

To be honest there are aspects I'm looking forward to as well.

Blackpool being one. I really enjoyed the game yesterday.
Looked like one of the best atmpospheres at a game Ive seen for ages.

Some cracking local derbies.

Yes, Im not too despendant at the thought of it to be honest!

In a perverse sort of way yes I am. Hopefully we'll be watching Trinity truely compete rather than just making up the numbers and having the occasional decent season. I definitely rather watch a competitive lower standard of RL over the last 5 games.

The odd season would be acceptable but life there forever..no thanks

1 season would be interesting, did Cas no harm, 3 seasons on the bounce then refusal to SL could be horrible to take.

I'm sure the novelty will soon wear off!
As much as i hate SL, i want to see my club at the top level, so its mixed feelings.

That is my feelings on the matter.

Simple answer, no.

As sad as it sounds to say, I am looking forward to playing in the championship, I agree 3 years and then being refused would be hard to take, but in the 13 years ( I think thats right) We havent really achieved that much playoffs twice and a challenge cup semi final. Yes weve had wonderful moments like turning Leeds over and stopped there home hot streak and the beaten Cas and sending them down. But personally I just want to see our team win and if it means being in the championship then so be it. A chance of a league title and a trip to blackpool for me is very appealing.

If the team was to win everyweek do you not think more fans would come? Im sure the fact of seeing the team lose every week is very off putting.

I don't mind one season - I actually think it would be helpful to have a year out of the SL pressure cooker so that AG can get our house in order and we can develop and bed in a totally new culture at the club. It would be nice for that to be going in the background whilst watching us actually compete; this season and last have been mostly depressing and demoralising, with a few highs interspersed.

I don't know if 3 seasons will be too much; ask me again in a year or so.

ive put a note in my calendar

Ask me whilst I'm in the stand-up quick-tan booth; just don't look down - I like an all-over experience.

As a one year adventure it would be fine but crowds and interest will drop off dramatically after the first year. And a lot will hinge on where we are going to be playing our home games.

Its not as simple as some of you seem to think... Its a slog down here.

Its not all bad though, trips to Batley are always enjoyable.

Winning every week in a lower div wouldn't attract more fans + we would lose away support on the cc there's probably only fax or Leigh with away support worth talking about. We needs new stadium and be in SL that will increase crowds

1 season will be great especially watching all hopes fade of Cas new Ground and seeing NM. steadly in progress

800 travelling fans is the most in our league I think... well average from the top 4. So nowhere near the same income which you get from the Hull teams.

After 13 years we also have a generation of young fans who have never know anything but the top division and quality visiting teams with top notch players. The championship doesn't hold that attraction and as such we run the risk of losing many of these fans. People want to see the best, end of.

And we ain't going to be able to charge the same admission prices as we do in superleague either.

I bet it dosn't stop us trying

You can try



Featherstone charge £15
Halifax about the same? £18 to sit down.

How much is it into SL games now?

£20 to stand in our wreck of a stadium.

Three seasons of watching second rate players in a second rate league,you are looking forward to it, are you all crackers.Better being a small fish in a big pond than being in no pond at all.

Although it would be a massive shame to go out of the top flight of English rugby, the club have to find some positives on which to build. The opportunity to consolidate and develop players is obviously vital and needs to be the emphasis. I will probably get down much more often with my lads as the prices will probably reduce a little.

A 3 year successful spell in NL1 could be the perfect springboard for a longer term revival.

The trouble is there is no guarantee it will only be three years . Leigh have already ticked their box to apply for SL and we have to hit the ground running ,with a new team and coach(I hope). Sorry just can`t see it happening
