There are always ups and downs - it's just life and sport is no exception - in fact, in sport it is magnified.In the earlier years, with the whole universe of RL (in those pre motorway days it was an A58 sport) being in only two, or even just one division, it was far easier. From up at the top to down at the bottom could be (and was) achieved in a couple of years. It is different now though. The game was part time and no club had 'owners' in the modern style. Nowadays there is so much money at the top end of the game that it is immensely difficult to break through and the fact we have no money gives a solid clue to our chances, at least in the short term.
You can never say never though and no-one knows what, or who, is just around the corner so nil desperandum should be the order of the day. I think I'll just go and check our the rumours thread.....
