Well defo one too many......

Morning BLM, hope youre well

I reckon, your not too far off there, but then,it's just an anonymous rumour.

Who's to say if there are any holdups, could they be related to the 3rd party stakeholders, such ss the RFL or council, as mentioned in Minards previous interview.

Could there be also, a total re branding as such, with a name change of the registered business (ie Spitrit Of 1873 Ltd)

Are we merging with Newcastle

and getting a pay-out from from the RFL as Shudds and Hull?

The RFL caused the delay with the Glover take over if I remember correctly. The Administrator had to sell players that weekend (Obst? Millard?) because of it.

Reckon you could be right.

Up the Trin

wonder if the promotion of London and the demise of Newcastle Thunder is giving Matt Ellis second thoughts. To me these two recent developments could have profound effects on the financial viability of our club. Firstly IMG will want to keep London in the top flight and I can see them being retained through fiddling with the grading even if they lose every game next season. Secondly league one looks unviable now and despite championship clubs voting against amalgamation I can see the RFL being forced in to two conferences which could see Trinity in a different conference to Featherstone and Bradford so missing out on our two biggest gates whilst having to welcome the like if Cornwall, Midlands Hurricanes and Toulouse to Belle Vue with less than a taxi full of supporters. I know people on here will say I am pessimistic but at the moment we cannot sell season tickets and don't know who we will be playing or even how many home games there will be.

The proposed conference structure was basically east and west.
West was
1. Barrow
2. Whitehaven
3. Workington
4. Widnes
5. Swinton
6. North Wales Crusaders
7. Rochdale
8. Oldham
9. Cornwll
10 (was london)

the east was
1.Batley
2.Bradford
3.Dewsbury
4.Doncaster
5.Halifax
6.Hunslet
7.Keighley
8.Midlands
9.(was Newcastle)
10.sheffield
11.York

The only issues seem to be Newcastle & Toulouse, would Newcastle come back in if this was to happen and will Toulouse give it another season. and Fev going in the East conference.
