I agree with most of what you say and all that you say about SL.
But the championship is still a joke and the saddest thing is that clubs are quite happy to sit in it and accept their pathetic lot.

The championship clubs didn't just sit back and 'accept their pathetic lot' but they weren't given a choice and they were on their own as the SL clubs were happy to be ringfenced in SL and sod the rest. It is only now that some of the SL clubs (yours included) have come under threat that they are suddenly agreeing with what the Championship clubs said 3 years ago. And as i'm sure you've noticed complaining isn't going to get you very far but that doesn't mean that you are 'accepting' it does it?

Maybe if more clubs like Cas, Wakey and Salford had complained 3 years ago, as the Championship clubs did, when the system was being brought in then it might have been avoided. But they stuck with their 'im all right jack' attitudes and are only bothered now that they might end up on the other side of the closed door that SL is becoming.

Most Championship clubs and fans aren't happy with the current system but seeing as there is little we can do we might as well just enjoy our rugby in what is a very exciting and competitive league.

Nozzy, don't worry mate, theres an awful lot of dissapointment on here at the moment. I'm sure some comments aren't coming out as they are meant to be.

If we do end up in the Championship I'm sure it won't be half as bad as it seems. I have seen some cracking NL games on sky this past season. (most involving Leigh of course! )

Spot on pal, thats why the idiots running your club should have sat down with Cas and the council to get a stadium built at Glasshoughton!!!

Really sorry for you guys, we (Cas) aren't out of the mire yet but you've been badly let down by the people running your club!!!!

Wouldn't go see Wakey in Glasshoughton!

Lookin on the bright side,if we go to Oakwell it means we're not within ten miles of another Super league club so one more tick in the franchise box.

Champioship rugby is a meaningless competition and a total joke. Sport needs P and R otherwise its nothing more than a sham like wrestling. Like I've said before the RFL can shove their championship RL up their Harris I would sooner follow Rugby Union at least in the sport they still have P and R.

Been to many games have we?








No thought not.

This decision is bewildering and totally counterintuitive and represents a huge and probably fatal blow.

All the other good things that *could* have happened, were predicated upon getting the stadium moving; clearly, that's not going to happen for at least another year, by which point I would expect York Court to have moved on and our SL application to have been declined, with a great sigh of relief at Red Hall.

Close, but no cigar.

if we go into the championship then its not the end of the world as long as we got rid of this shambolic board and coach, who have penny pinched there way through sl and starved the club of investment. weve had chances to build a ground before with ossett and we messed that up. weve known about the situation long enough and i know that people have worked towards a new ground which still might happen,but the blame if we get kicked out lays firmly at the bod who couldnt run an egg and spoon race. i think theyve had some idea hence signing nobody players on 1 year contracts. the bod didnt even have the balls to tell the staff what had happened and they found out on here. its a joke and the sooner they go the better. but whos gonna take over, well who could do any worse.

I still think you can avoid the drop but, as you say, if you do come down it isn't going to be as bad as some will make out.

With regards to Oakwell not being viable in the championship... I don't know all the details but Sheffield Eagles cope well enough playing out of Bramall Lane which belongs to the football club. So maybe it is possible for you to play out of Oakwell even if the worst did happen and you lose your SL spot if you had a similar arrangement?
