Halifax's ground is still not suitable, so you might just scrape in again. With regards Bradford's stadium, although it is a dump, unbelievably it does meet the criteria.

I would like to see leigh get a licence, but the wonderful rfl have ruled that you have got to get to the grand final or win the nr final. If you manage that with millward back, i think you'll get in, but i have my doubts. Anyway, i'd like to see how the rfl will get toulouse in as they won't meet the criteria.

Bit more than Milward - you don't think he would come back to coach the current shower of sh!te do you???
Littler has been mentioned as one - not sure how he has gone on this season, but would imagine he would still be a class act in the championship
I noticed the club aint made a statement to this warning to be honest i dont think the club care which league there in any more so nl1 here we come and where we will stay
why should they make one...we know we are not ready. the club may be tide up with legal things to do with peel etc...i'm sure some one knows better than me (we seem to have all the experts to do with running the club and team on here)and will do an update.

We (Saints) received the same letter as you, Wakey, Cas and Celtic, but there has simply been an acknowledgement by the RFL that us and Celtic have plans which are further developed than you, Wakey and Cas. Celtic are moving to another stadium entirely until or if Bridgend is redeveloped and that was in their licence application. We are presently tendering work out. Our new site has been largely demolished but there is still cleansing work to do on it and building work is due to begin in December. However. We have Taylor Wimpey in our chain and they almost went bust at the beginning of the year, which has already meant a delay to our plans being borne out. They are our weakest link and at the moment they are squealing at the thought of paying the price they contracted to buy Knowsley Road for because, of course, it being the crunch, the land is not worth what it once was.
So although we are quite positive at Saints, we also know that if Taylor Wimpey go belly up then the whole project does and we are right where you guys are at present. We're keeping everything crossed but we aint at the stage yet where we are counting our chickens.

In any criteria, if Saints were not given a licence then I give up watching this merry-go-round! Reminds me of the mergers, RFL say this, do that etc etc or you're out! F*ck your licences thats what I say!
this will not be the end, or even the beginning of the end.
It is merely the end of the beginning
Salford to stay in as the RFL won't want to lose a clubs so close to Manchester. Wakefield & Castleford to drop out.
From 2012 there will be 16 clubs in SL so with 2 dropping out you will be in plus Widnes, Leigh & Toulouse.
