I think we should all do that.

I think they would be making a big leap of faith in expecting people to come flooding back whatever happens. It's an old adage that it's easier to keep customers than to try win them back.

Yep, and to spell it out, looking at the table/fixtures, my most wildly optimistic predictions put us on 12 points after the playoffs (3 from 6 wins in the rest of the regular season and 4 from 7 in the playoffs - science fiction i know as its hard to see where 1 win is coming from at the mo). Swinton, the team we currently need to get ahead off are already on 8 with a much better points difference, so might only need 2 wins from their remaining 13 games (2 of which are against Dews) to stay ahead of us on 12 points.

It would be an astonishing turn around of events to save ourselves on the field - that ship has sank IMO.

I've heard a little rumour that Swinton might be relegated whatever happens due to ongoing financial issues (ironic, I know).

If we stay in the championship due to financial stability over other clubs......jeez the game really is loved.

More than 'ironic' - would be disgraceful! The Bulls couldn't get relegated even by being liquidated, it would be flat out hypocritical and wrong for the RFL to relegate Swinton for a winding up petition.

Perhaps the RFL are hoping Swinton get relegated anyway, which could well happen if Dewsbury get on a run.

Yep. Especially after everyone on here actually asking for us to be relegated. It would be downright wrong and unfair to all.

Unless swinton have asked to be relegated? Easier to cover the playing budget of a league 1 squad?
