Those clubs will not be overly concerned IMO. The new stadium criteria will inevitably be relaxed by the RFL due to unforseen circumstances.

I'm afraid I agree with you. Mind you, as the editor of 'League Weekly' says, you really do have to have a product on the pitch too. We must address this factor a.s.a.p.

That's small fry compared to the cost of the accessories two months before the licenses are awarded....................

Professional photgrapher - £250
1000 x Glossy 12 page stadium plan - £8,500
Spade - £40
Hardhat - 15
Cheesy grin and a thumbs up sign from a desparate Chairman - Priceless.

Different case to removing a club already there, though.

Agreed totally. Promotion and relegation every time in my view.

I can't see any in place SL clubs being relegated on that issue they could threaten court action on retraint of trade etc.. then watch the RFL back off.
