Press coverage is national which can only be a good thing http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/s ... ampionship

Good luck to all involved. I think we will be going down still, I think to reverse that will be considered impossible by the RFL. It is unfair and Batley, whilst they may not consider it cheating, have broken the rules and remain unpunished and have avoided relegation.

To take this to the high court will cost tens of thousands. Arbitration is a matter of hundreds but the RFL need to agree to it i think. Which of course they wont

Glad to see the club are fighting, however I feel no matter how far we push the RFL theres little chance of anything (maybe a pittance of compo money) and we will be playing Coventry, Hemel, Gateshead, South Wales in front of 600-700 crowds instead of playing Leigh, Fev, Fax and B*lls infront of alot bigger crowds.

I was 13 when we lost out on super league, I've got 8 year old twin boys now and I thought they were gonna get the chance to see us play a competative match v B*lls. Not a lot seems to have changed at the RFL in the last 20 years.

Still gutted :cry: :cry: :cry:

Good news Rach, fingers crossed!!!

By the way, STOP THAT SINGING :D :lol:






I have only been wrong once and thats because I thought I was wrong but I was wrong I was right!

Petty authoritarians aren’t man enough to challenge the actions of a person face to face; instead they incite a forum of rumour, innuendo and half truths, and impose rude sanctions to discourage those who dare question fairness.

Hey look at it this way we will do in 2016 - Well go back up and the Bulls will be still in the Championship - They think they will have it easy, remember they will have to overcome at least 1 current SL team and in my opinion I do think it will be Wakey, Widnes, Cas and one of the Hull clubs in that bottom 4 next year, they will be no push overs, London already look stronger for next year than they have all this season and lets not forget there are still some good champ teams Leigh especially. And if the clubs don't go back up at first attempt I can see some of those bigger name players not sticking, many have been signed on 1 year deals anyway

Good luck with the appeal, it's about time the RFL were taken to task on this blatant cheating.

Fingers crossed for some positive outcome of legal action. Very nice to see support from other clubs. Let's hope the RFL really recognise what a huge mistake they've made with their "justice" system.

Why did the club not start this process after the points were returned to Donny and Batley?






Should have gone to Specsavers
