How can you compare a Championship club with Super League club and now suggest we have to meet the superleague criteria. If you listened to the announcement the RL confirmed we have met the required criteria as outlined by the RL which is more than what you lot have over the last three years. I wonder if you lost your licence what your attendance etc would be certainly no where near what it is now, except possibly derby day when you play Wakey !!!

I bet some of the Superleague are pretty worried about the 26th July !!!!

I personally think it's very worrying that they have come out and said publicly that Fax meet all the criteria.

If this is the case how will they justify not allowing them in, in July when without a stadium we don't meet all the criteria?

Im not saying we should go as Crusaders should be miles ahead of us for the chop but lets face it, the next club after Wakey they will look to chop is Cas whether its fair or not.

If there isn't something concrete in place for the stadium it could be bad news in July.

Can anyone imagine what a farce it would be if we make the Playoffs knowing we are relegated after them? Then again its just as idiotic as a team finishing 6th, 4th and 5th in the Division below, not winning anything and getting promoted. What a farce.

I think if you check back when cas were relegated we still averaged around the 5k mark, and at the time we were having larger crowds than some of the super league clubs. What are you attendance figures?

You do know in every single facet, Cas beat Halifax hands down, as does every other team in Super League?

In fact, Rimmer gave it way on B&A and said "Halifax & Barrow will be in the Championship again next year"

Erm sorry but im not entirely sure that we do

Though as i've said in a previous post i still dont think we deserve to be releagated before Harlequins or Crusaders but sadly we know that isn't going to happen.

Like i said, the fact that the RFL have come out and said Halifax meet all the criteria (when we dont) is very worrying.

Unfortunately it wont be until a couple of SL clubs get screwed and sent packing before you realise what is happening, and they wont find Bradford, Leeds or Wigan jumping to their defence either.
We can't be compared to SL clubs by their criteria because we have a smaller salary cap, dont play Wigan and Leeds, dont get the media exposure, can't attract the crowds to watch a game against York or Hunslet, what we do have is potential though, everything is in place. But do we trust the RFL? No.
I wouldn't worry if i were you, for now, they dont have the spine to kick out two clubs, not while theres still so many unbuilt stadiums and Aussies being imported into our game.

They were discussing how much of the older stand would have to be shut for the televised game as they don't have a fixed tv gantry in place. This is one of the basic stadium requirements as laid down by the RFL. viewtopic.php?f=15&t=488269
