It still looks like it won’t happen to me.
If it does it’s at least 4 years away, if they want to score enough img points to stay in super league next week, they are going to have to spend most (if not all). Of the WMDC £2m on temporary upgrades and may still not be in the top 12, me thinks they will be spending at least 2 years in the championship unless they make a temporary move to another ground until completed.
Saying all that, I still believe that it won’t happen.

Suppose a lot will depend on wether Axium have managed to get firms to sign up for the units..

I would think like us even if they started the work today it is unlikely to impact their IMG score for next season. It will also reduce the stadium capacity. It will be what is needed in the future but they are stadium wise about two years behind us, even more if we can do something about the West Stand.

Before even that, central government have to give their approval.

I reckon they will pass it, but the potential fly in the ointment is that WMDCs own Local Development Plan OPPOSES the Axiom development.

Even if it does pass, and Axiom release the funds, by the time contracts are tendered and construction firms scheduled, you are looking at the end of 2025 before a spade is in the ground and the end of 2026 before a new stand is in use.

So 2027 before this development impacts the IMG grading.

IMO.

The fudge should cover them for this season. They'll be in the 12.

Only because London are screwed.

Might not be the year after.

Is there another club outside SL this year who could score higher the Cas on IMG gradings??

Toulouse and ourselves are the only ones. The fudge should get them over the line and to be fair they looked pretty decent for half an hour against Wigan so they might not be as bad as I was expecting in terms of performance.

I would not write off your aptly named bucket rattlers. Their IMG score highly inflated by me. Also we know there is a section of people within our sport who believe that lot have a good given right to be in the top flight and the game 'needs' them
