I think the perception (wrongly) is that Celtic were only given a slot based on their geographical position.

OK Then....Lets say you TICK ALL THE BOXES then. And still dont get your licence, what then?

RFL will do whatever they feel like....simple as

totally agreed, tb's one hell of a smart-ass

That suggests that over the three years they weren't consistently been one of the best teams in the Championship so they miss out.

hmmm … given that ALL THE BOXES that need ticking mount to one: being one of the 14 best (or possibly 15 or 16 best) applications, measured against a number of factors, including onfield performance, then – once more your scenario doesn''t square with reality

OK so the 14 BEST applications are the 1's currently in SL so theres no promotion for ANOTHER 3 years.



Basicaly a few men sat behind a desk should not be saying whos in and whos out. Let the players and coaches do the talking on the field

i meant the team that gets stuck up in SL

Shouldn't that be "Ohhhh yes!"..?



Anyway, No.

If bluesox4evaaa and classycas2009 actually understood the licensing process, then maybe they would be able to construct a better argument against.



As it is, they don't really have a clue and are just making themselves look uneducated.

my points are standard arguments against it you nazi

your right....but i am passionate about the game. And this licence system is bull .



Im not saying Im right or your wrong, Im not the "I know more than you" type of person.



Only part of the system i agree with, is you must a stadium that meets critia

If you don't understand the licensing system, how can you understand whether it is bull or not?



And why should stadiums matter if all that matters is what happens on the pitch?

You haven't brought up one decent argument that hasn't been completely flawed. There's nothing standard about it.

Did I say I dont understand......NO ..maybe I dont agree





So lets hear why there SHOULDNT be P/R...lets hear you

Hillsborough had nothing to do with the standard of the stadium.

how about the point about the fact that with the absence of relegation the interest in lower table activity of super league is greatly compromised skinhead?

And what part of the argument as been flawed?



Let me ask you a simple question for such a educated guy.



If Quinns....crowds keep falling....thier performance fall...they stop selling merchendise...etc etc...do you really think RFL will relagate them?

not if wellesy has her way. shed rather these teams be given chance after chance on the grounds of mental illness

Is this a sport forum ?

Hey, it's the Bugster. Howdy. Let's talk sport. What happened tonight?

Usual different day whats new ?

Is it?



What about when Halifax got relegated with about 10 weeks to go? How interesting was the bottom of the table then?



Or when Widnes AND Leigh were down with about 5 weeks to go?



Relegation does not guarantee interest at the bottom of the table for the full season. Conversely, it doesn't guarantee that their won't be any interest at the bottom all season, as they could still get into the play-offs.



So yeah, again flawed argument.

Not this thread

The RFL wouldn't need to. They'd probably go bust.



The fact is, they meet the criteria in a lot of areas and are deserving of their franchise.
