The nerves will be frayed running up to IMG score time but I’m really confident knowing what works been done at Trinity.
The key thing is to make absolute certain that there’s no mistakes like in the Castleford submission last season.
No our submission will be in a leather bound brochure as opposed to the back of a fag packet.

Apparently that was because they were counting with 6 fingers on each hand
Just returned from Cas v Warrington game and had the misfortune to sit in the wooden rickety stand, if that stadium is fit for SL under the IMG system then the scoring is corrupt, it’s an eyesore and definitely not fit for purpose

I agree with your judgement but let’s be careful that we don’t turn into those fans who have plagued us for years with accusations of “doing nothing” and “breaking promises” made when we won the Grand Final 25 years ago.
Right now we are lucky to have an owner who has the finances and the ambition not just to take us back into the top flight but to compete as well as make our stadium fit for the modern game, its players and its supporters. Not since Stuart Hadfield some 6 decades ago, have we had such an owner so let’s not forget our recent history and become like those fans with short memories that pervade these boards from fortunate clubs like Warrington, St Helens etc

Not disagreeing with you regarding the years of pain and suffering we’ve had regarding stadium issues, but we’ve eventually done something about it and been relegated whilst doing so, Cas have done nothing about it apart from a bit of wonky seating, it’s the reaction of some Cas fans last night who think that they are definitely in SL next season with lack of investment in their poor stadium that riles me when like I’ve said have suffered to get us in a great position to hopefully get back into SL, hopefully at their expense

Reading between the lines it looks like cas have with the help of some creative attendance figures…. Some Blue Peter type re modelling of the ground, managed to cobble together enough points to make the cut this year. And I think they will be one of the 12 teams in SL next season. However I can’t help thinking that they have taken the p£&! In doing so..the whole point of IMG was to encourage clubs to make serious changes to the structure of how their club was run across the board.. not bodge it up in the hope that your score is better than those around you…I know we have been fortunate to have new ownership but the last directors started to implement proper change years back .. not just this season… Moving on to next year what’s to stop other clubs using the same methods to gain extra points

It’s been a while since I’ve sat in the wooden stand as we’ve normally stood in the away end with Wakey, but it’s absolutely shocking, surely someone must walk around the stadium before judgement is made

I don't think they are bodging their attendances. They've always had good crowds.
And it's not about what they do, it's about what they do compared to everyone else. All the B grades will be looking for those small improvements. The only guarantee is when you get to the magical 15 points for an A grade.
