London's score is inflated by the "incumbency bias" of being in SL last season. They'll fall away now and by next year be well down the rankings. They have their own issues keeping afloat too.

York have a smart ground and have done pretty well on the field. They're looking good. Probably a better bet than Toulouse for SL if a SL club implodes. No way will SL clubs want another French team in there.

Would be good to hear what plans the club has to improve on 16th. Doing better on the field would help and would help attendances too. Odsal needs finalising too - do we have primacy of tenure yet? If not then once that deal is done it will help - albeit leave us with a massive money pit to sort out.

Will be interesting to see what the spin is as we have plenty of deluded fans who think we're SL bound.

Bit disappointing but just shows how much being in SL can do to a score with London possibly weeks from ceasing to exist, yet above us.

Be interesting to hear Jason's interview later, he reckon we would be high 12s to low 13s. So that's a lot of points we don't have.

Until the stadiums sorted we don't deserve to be in SL. so whilst we'll improve next year on performance and having the lease, it doesn't really matter does it.

Well we all know it was massively skewed towards the current SL clubs.

Do worry about the long damage this process might do to the Championship when movement is effectively now on hold. The stadium is an issue that will continue to hold us back.

Breakdown. We're maxed out in fandom & finance & community whilst we're in the Championship. Performance can improve slightly, especially once the 9th place finish drops away. Stadium we know about.

Having a laugh at some of the scores.

Oldham have a worse score because they've moved from Whitebank stadium to Boundary park so it's less full.

Halifax. Scores 0.5 in finance last year. In 12 months they've had two WUP from HMRC and were late paying wages one month. They've tripled they score to 1
5. Outstanding!

One inexpensive way of improving the score on the ground is to smash sections of it up rendering it unsafe and forcing the council to reduce the capacity. Then we immediately improve our score for stadium utilisation. It worked for Featherstone and Wakefield.

Indeed it will be interesting. I fear the club's narrative over the years of, " back where we belong...etc" has created an expectation we are not able to meet. I've always thought of myself as optimistic about our prospects, but my disappointment at our IMG score has shown me, i am in fact in the deluded camp. Odsal is our eternal problem and now I'm concerned we've landed ourselves with a large yearly bill, with little apparent benefit. I hope to be wrong. Regardless I'll still turn up. I just hope this IMG score doesn't hit season ticket sales.

Oh hoaw we laughed and said Hudds only stayed in SL because they had a fancy ground. It seems as though they were trailblazers. Didn't think we'd ever get to a state where relegation would be abolished in favour of having a fancy ground. That being the case we can kiss goodbye to ever getting back

They'll get that as well, although I doubt they'll see anything for a while yet.

Like every other mad gimmick the sport throws it's entire wight behind, this grading rubbish will be dropped within 3-5 years. Once we've worked out why snooker and darts have ditched IMG after paying them exorbitant amounts of money.
