Oh dear not good. Did Thunder come under the umbrella of the Union club Falcons? and I think it was a few years back that the Falcons were spending money like it was going out of fashion despite a winding up order from the Revenue. The fall out from the Covid era financially has been a mess. Thank goodness Club Doncaster have a firm hand on the till. Not sure how the eck they are going be able to fixture League 1 with just 8 teams. |

League one: They'll have to play each other three times, either totally over the season, or after a mid season split and do away with the play offs (as the top half split would essentially be this). Newcastle: It's a big blow for the sport, the RFL would have loved a city club like Newcastle in SL, hence it being a venue for Magic Weekends. My read of what has happened there is, the falcons owner took them over thinking, a bit of money and 3 years we'll be in SL. This proved harder than they thought and money has slowly drifted away leaving them in a mess |

Newcastle swapped from full-time to part-time just before the start of the 2023 season. That probably de-railed them as they lost a lot of their better players and weren't able to regroup sufficiently to avoid relegation. |

Feel more sorry for the people of Gateshead who twice have had a club taken from them in the name of securing their future |

I remember watching the Dons at the athletics stadium they used to play at. A few alarm bells ought to be ringing with the loss of three clubs (West Wales, Skolars and Newcastle) in a relatively short period of time. I can't see the Championship clubs wanting to change the league structure after having rejected a similar suggestion very recently - no doubt self-preservation was playing a part in that decision. A 21 game season might work for League One with teams playing each other three times but should another team drop out, that really would really put the cat among the pigeons. |

At the start of the 1962-63 season the RFL was split into two divisions, but before the start of the new season the teams were split up into two regional divisions 14 in the Western Division & 16 teams in the Eastern Division.Each team played eight games & the top four teams of each division competed in a playoff for the divisional championship, HKR defeated Huddersfield 13-10 to win the Eastern Division Championship Final & Workington defeated Widnes 10-nil in a replay after the first game ended in a 9-9 draw & they became the Western Division champions. The Dons only success in the Eastern Division was on August 25th 1962 at Tattersfield with the Dons defeating Leeds 7-6. |
