You mean like Fax? We will be looking at a low B/high C ranking with a number of clubs in front of us for the 12th position. Our chances of making SL under this new system is pretty much slim to none and I would advise anyone to have a look at the criteria and have a good read and try and figure out how Fax can possibly bridge the gap to the teams above us.

A greater worry for the club at the moment should be that season tickets have now been on sale for a good number of weeks but it looks like the RFL are trying to push through a merger between League 1 and the Championship which could lead to an increase in games which would have ramifications not only on match day income but also would mean re-working of player contracts. I really hope the RFL do not go down that route but taking the vote away from the clubs suggests that is what is going to happen.

Let the fall outs begin. Our grading is no surprise to anyone who took time to fully read the criteria and the things that could not be worked our revolved around FanDom and finances. We already had a decent idea of the FanDom score which was reported in the press so that must be accurate musn't it? That just leaves the finances so hopefully the board come out and let people know how we scored in each catogary.

7 Grade A's is a bit of a surprise as a lot of people thought there may be 4 or 5. The drop off to the B grades although just over a point is in reality huge. Wakey above Cas by so much is a surprise and Cas will not have a lot of wiggle room to improve their gradings so look like they are in real trouble. Fev been so far off a SL spot is also quite a big surprise and really not a chance they can make up nearly 2 points so it will be interesting to see what they do from here. I thought York may have done slightly better and Bradford are a touch closer than I expected but they score very well on location and have manipulated their attendances this season which they won't get away with next year so they could see a bit of a drop off. Also anyone who talked about London been somewhere near to keeping a SL place after this season is going to feel a bit silly at this point and probably should have took more time to fully understand the criteria.

Edit: Added Fev statement.

Fev statement pretty much pointing a direct finger at Bradford regarding attendances. I wouldn't normally agree with Fev but its been an open joke in the RL community that Bradford's attendances are less than half of what the declared figure has been for most of the season.
