Do you think Hull FC will have a super league licence next time around?




The club plays in an excellent stadium and has high attendances. The club is well organised in all areas of marketing - particularly its community and Customer Relationship Management programmes – and is commercially strong. The club has historic and projected profits and operates with little external financial input. Despite a recent dip in playing form this season the club achieves high marks in most areas of playing strength.

Do you think our 2years of poor form will effect our licence?

I think it was a salary cap breach

Ah ye. Was more of an accounting error wasn't it? Still counts though. I'd have thought that this would have ellapsed by the next round of franchises though?

under the current marking system clubs can ONLY be marked downward by one place.

We currently have and we can only slip down to B, stop worrying its not as if we have a C is it

8 points, isn't it?

8 or more points - A licence
5-7 points - B licence
4 points or less - C licence

having a useless coach should be minus 8 points, might make our lot see sense and sack the moron.
