Or clubs promoted into the semi-pro ranks as a reward for winning an amateur comp? Or even for winning NL3, as was?

The fact is that every club in the Championship / Championship 1 has an indefinite franchise, without even having to reapply every 3 years.


Ok you right I can't. Your turn now to answer the bit you conveniently forgot to quote. ..........

FWIW, the new div 1 is spot on and more entertaining (in some cases) than sooper league....just learn your place at the table. :wink:

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

Exactly. Was it 900 biggest crowd outside of SL last Sunday? Dark days indeed.

I fail to see any irony however.

Yes well, we couldn't stay in NL1 just to boost the averages and make everyone else look good ;)






Doubt everything, even this

Your ground certainly made everyone else's look good - even our half-built Stade de 'alifax. :wink:

Only way a current club will be booted is if:
1.They go bust (unless they are an expansion club or deemed important in which case they will simply come back under another name)
2.They are kicked out of their ground and have nowhere to play (very unlikely)
3.They finish bottom each of the three seasons and win very few games (very unlikely as any club SHOULD be able to build a squad that will win at least 33% of its games each year)

It will stay as is with Toulouse coming in 2012 and then maybe another in 2014-15 imo.






WEST COAST PIRATES
NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......
