Yet because the IMG points scoring had an inherent bias to SL teams many other clubs could make improvements but it wouldn't matter.    I'm in agreement that IMG needed to get clubs to improve off field matters but there should not be bias towards SL incumbents who could rest on their laurels by virtue of the benefits of already being in SL so already had bigger crowds and featured more on TV (just two examples).    If the metrics were a bit smarter those clubs making the most effort would get more points than those that bumped along.  

Anyway, it might all be academic now.

I’m all for a 14 team league as long as Bradford aren’t back it in until they make improvements to that “ground”.

We cannot now take the high ground on facilities just because we have found a benefactor capable of funding the work at Belle Vue. We had for at least 25 seasons survived in SL with little or no money spent on improvements.
It could be argued that why should those clubs sharing a football stadium be allowed to have the fixture list gerrymandered meaning they benefit from a run of home games towards the end of the season. If they share and the football club want to do work why can’t they be made to play at a neutral venue.

I think we can seeeing as it was everything that away fans banged on about.And Bradford for example, they have had plenty of opportunity timewise to do something with Odsal.

Yes but we had 25 seasons in SL but did very little. I would say Bradford will be given the same opportunities as the rest wanting promotion. I doubt they will take anyone’s personal objections into consideration. 
I am just relieved we will not be part of the process because we will certainly be in the top 12.

There is a new Australian team next year in there S L so that could cut down the players ,coming over hear
