I think the perception (wrongly) is that Celtic were only given a slot based on their geographical position.

OK Then....Lets say you TICK ALL THE BOXES then. And still dont get your licence, what then?
RFL will do whatever they feel like....simple as

totally agreed, tb's one hell of a smart-ass

That suggests that over the three years they weren't consistently been one of the best teams in the Championship so they miss out.

hmmm … given that ALL THE BOXES that need ticking mount to one: being one of the 14 best (or possibly 15 or 16 best) applications, measured against a number of factors, including onfield performance, then – once more your scenario doesn''t square with reality

OK so the 14 BEST applications are the 1's currently in SL so theres no promotion for ANOTHER 3 years.

Basicaly a few men sat behind a desk should not be saying whos in and whos out. Let the players and coaches do the talking on the field

i meant the team that gets stuck up in SL

Shouldn't that be "Ohhhh yes!"..?

Anyway, No.

If bluesox4evaaa and classycas2009 actually understood the licensing process, then maybe they would be able to construct a better argument against.

As it is, they don't really have a clue and are just making themselves look uneducated.

my points are standard arguments against it you nazi
