regardless of any principle, what you are forgetting is that there are a fair few clubs in SL who arent leading lights, and there is no logic to suggest that if Leigh were a very well run club, with a great merchandising operation, great commercial opportunities. good crowds, good youth development, and a solid financial background that they RFL wouldnt welcome them replacing a club like Wakefield who seem to lurching from crisis to crisis.
Even if your worst conspiracy theories were true, there still isnt enough expansion clubs banging on the door to leave out a club which is capable and well run, we havent yet filled our league with clubs which are capable and well run
it is the main consideration

should it be an issue ?
It isn,t as big a part as some people think , usually those that are in SL
It is THE biggest issue to an organization that has brought in licensing purely to expand it,s premier competition
Location is the sole reason licensing has been brought in
it isnt, there is a lot of benefits to clubs in licensing, you know this.
It is however a big reason, it has proven throughout our history, impossible, to expand the game through the way the flatcappers expect it to happen. Only one club in the last 90 years has been formed, played in the amateur league, and then joined the semi-pro ranks. No club in our history has started in the amateur leagues, joined the semi-pro leagues, and progressed to the pro leagues, NONE. NOT ONE. NIL.
The only way the game was not only going to spread, but also grow the clubs in the league is to give them the stability licensing offered.

answer the question?
either Championship clubs should be campaigning for the opportunity as much for them to be relegated to the amateur league as promoted to the professional league, or they have taken a massively hypocritical standpoint

Try this one. Can you name me the last team that won the Championship that were denied entry to the premiership? or the last team finishing bottom in the premiership who werent relegated to the championship?
The Flying Pig won the Leigh D&D league 1 this year, next year they are in the Premiership replacing The Winkers Arms who finished bottom.
you cannot be promoted to the premiership without meeting certain criteria

No it isn't. It is complete nonsense to suggest that licensing was brought in PURELY to expand. If it was, why did they not include Toulouse last time round? And why would they even think about letting in Widnes?
Licensing was brought in to enable stability, of which hopefully a by-product will allow for easier expansion as well as a better standard of clubs in the league. Explain to me how Widnes are favourites for a license if it's purely about expansion? And explain how location is THE biggest issue against Leigh getting a license when Widnes (less than 20 miles down the road and still in between as many clubs as Leigh) are likely to get one?

Grow clubs in SL , not outside SL
