You missed my point. My point is not about a quick fix and how can you base an argument when London spend about £1.5 million more than Fev or Sheffield The new proposal (if left in place for 3/4 years) should enable the likes of Fev and Sheffield to improve the playing ability by having more competitive matches against the likes of Cas, Wakey, Bradford etc. This should improve attendances, bring in more income, help clubs improve their off field operations, attract investors and give the clubs a better chance of beating current SL clubs. Investors can be good for the game providing the investment (not just in monetary terms) is in developing long term structures withina club.

Well the milkman who visited our house must have come from outside Yorkshire as i am not such a miserable sod and have a totally different view! I will make my point by using the league placings after round 24. So at the end of 2014 London, Salford are relegated to the Championship. And after the 22 league games of 2015 London, Salford, Sheffield and Fev qualify for the middle 8 play offs along with Cas, Wakey, widnes and Bradford. That should be a very competitive play off. But, the key to making this work is to encourage closing the gap between the SL and the Championship. So it is essential that the SKY money that currently goes to the 13th and 14th team of SL is distributed to the teams in the Championship. I would also have a SC of £1 million for the Championship (hark at those spluttering whilst supping their tea). OK some teams will never spend close to this but that is not the point. i.e. Using the above scenario this lets David Hughes reduce his investment at a level to grow London sustainably, also Mr Nahaboo may pump more money into Fev. If Salford are relegated it lets Mr Koucash use his financial muscle. This may also open the opportunity for a consortium from Sheffield? Don't lets ever have a SC in the Championship that panders to mediocrity. .

Whenever change is mooted those against are always more vociferous than those who either accept change or aren't really bothered about which way forward is chosen. But it would be interesting to read why Celtic voted for it. They coud play in a sunday morning pub league and still get a capacity crowd .... So why did they think it was a good thing? Was it because they saw how it may strengthen Scottish football as a whole?

The scottish proposal was thrown out even though clubs voted 10-2 IN FAVOUR of it. It needed an 11-1 majority for it to be brought in. St Mirren and Ross County voted against it - talk about the tail wagging the dog. The crazy part about all this is that the clubs in favour tried to pass an amendment to change the votes required to 9-3 majority But when this was put to the meeting the amendment was defeated as it needed an 11-1 majority vite to be passed ....... And guess which 2 clubs voted against the amendment.

Does anyone know if the game is shown live over the internet?
