..back for 2021?
Bradford Bulls Chairman (I think) said at a fans meeting, attended by Ralph Rimmer tonight: “We believe that from 2021 a new Super League structure and licensing format in any event will be in place"
Used to love the Grade A license chat, good luck to James Rule getting that at Widnes

2021?
We've got time to burn through a couple more innovative new formats before then, I reckon.

Times changing again, a few snippets of info from this meeting. RFL moving away from Red Hall, possibly to Bradford.
The concept of franchising was odd IMO but ended up being massively compromised by the (mainly understandable) self interest of club chairmen. No successful format template is there?

Surely licensing wont work when youve got Toulouse, Leigh, Toronto, Potentially Bradford, London then maybe a US team trying to get in? Put licensing in place and they cant all get in unless it means that existing SL teams be sacrificed (Wakey, Widnes, Salford) - actually it could work

Finally putting the office block at Odsal to good use then and make money selling Redhall.

Don't forget Montreal, and Eric Perez is after getting 2 clubs in the USA also.

I heard (posted on Bradford's board) locally some time ago that the "plan" was to sell Red Hall, redevelop Odsal and build a new stadium on Richard Dunn site. Sounded unlikely but some elements of it might be true.

If the Allams boot us out, can the RFL relocate to the real heart of Rugby League and redevelop Costello.
