The standards of the competition have to improve and that means getting rid of the teams who are dragging the league down like FC.
Celtic & Salford are works in progress but there's evidence to suggest that FC drag every team above them down to their level - and that isn't good in terms of attracting sponsors & new spectators to the sport.
While I agree with relegation, I wouldnt wish it on any team. KR fans should know how hard it is to take and how hard it is to climb back up afterwards.
Why would you want FC to be relegated? Surely its better for the city to have 2 SL teams (along with a Premiership footy team). Apart from anything else who would we all wind-up?

I love the fact that F.C. gets under your skin so much,it makes you talk drivel.

I think P&R should be the norm in any sport, no matter who gets the chop. I would like to think we will return to it one day as its killed the season below the play off zone.
FWIW, no matter how much the FC lot don't want us in SL and wish our demise upon us, I for one think two clubs from the city doing well is great and hope that FC do get their act together and join us in the top 4 for some real quality derby games (subject to the weather being perfect for them, of course)

Speaking for myself, I am pleased two teams from Hull are in S.L.
I would be lying if I say I am happy with our present predicament at the moment.

Although I support it ,I don't think P&R will come back. The next round of franchises will be presumably for another 3 years and by then the lower tiers of the game may well be changed quite radically.

Although I do feel it should be the natural order of things, we tried P&R for umpteen years and what it most appeared to achieve was teams going bust.
Workington and Oldham Bears (remember them?) in the first couple of years for starters.
Can anyone really say that Cas would have blooded Westerman, Shenton, Huby and Boyle et al to level they have without fear of relegation?
Celtic; whether you agree with expansion in this way or not, they're drawing a very high calibre of player into their acedamy set up at the moment and would they really have bothered to spend this money on development without a three year licence?
We might well get another Clive Sullivan from that set up...
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
