FWIW Fax did indeed apply for a SL place last year but knew we didn't stand a chance against Manchester and Wales. Our tactics were (pretty much like Fev) to see what we have in place now and what we have to work on so that by 2012 we will be shoo-ins.
The East Stand is FINALLY taking shape, the gates are going up, we have more sponsors coming into the club, but most importantly we have a product on the field which is exciting and full of young British players Fax fans are proud of and are catching the eye of all RL fans.
After 2003 the last thing we wanted was to rush into SL with 2,000 or so fans and get whalloped every week, that's Celtic's job
