The current championship is a cracking competition with very well matched clubs , is it superleague feeling a bit inferior and trying to move the goal post's ?

Coolie you need to get out of bed with the York fans. You'll be hating them again if they beat Fev and Leigh
. A pattern is emerging that you are beginning to detest success. I bet you can't stand people winning loads of money on quiz shows and say that they are going on a round the world trip.
I hope Dewsbury go on to finish second in the league and it might soothe your resentment. Keep posting though
When they beat fev , loxy dear boy

I just paid for my season ticket . It’s no secret it’s gonna be extremely tough , but I’m really looking forward to this season just to see the big step up in quality , the players we’ll see and how our guys handle it . This is where you wanna be , I just hope we can get enough strength and depth together to stay there . Crowds were really encouraging this year so hopefully we build on that and get good numbers down to see the ride !
Well said pal , that's what the championship is all about , enjoyment , commitment and courage , good luck town have a great year.

George,
I think York have a chance of the top 6 but not counting chickens until I have seen how the recruitment has gone for all the teams, so I will make some assessments at end of the year. With Leigh, Newcastle, Fev, Halifax, Batley and Bradford all looking strong at this point in time.
Out of interest which two teams do you think will finish higher than Fev?
fax and leigh will both finish above fev.

winning the league is great but unimportant , as we all know making the playoffs in the championship is all that matters , peak for maybe 3 or 4 games at the business end , then superleague awaits, simples

Bradford a decent ground??? For their exorbitant prices you get wet through then in urgent need of a ventilator when you finish the climb out
i did say generally , in fairness they do have a very good all seater covered stand plus numerous bars and food kiosks , but have to agree about the ventilator , must be our age

There is also a train of thought, that the opposite is true. Discounting shows a lack of confidence in the product or service on offer. Cheapening things certainly doesn't make people feel the need to tell the world about attending events like more expensive/exclusively perceived events such as football for instance.
Growing up, football was very much a working class sport, but with entry prices to the PL now, I'm not sure you can say that anymore. It's an expensive day out for a family, for example, and completely out of reach for many to do on a regular basis. Yet the popularity is higher than ever. People are only too willing to tell you about the game they have tickets for at the weekend. Can you remember anyone saying the same about a RL match?
Maybe RL needs to break away from the working class roots it is so very proud of portraying, and consistently flies the flag for. Perhaps a significant price increase would change the image of the game? Add a sort of exclusivity to it?
Certainly from a sponsorship point of view, appealling to the upper and middle classes, with the extra disposable income associated with them, is likely to open the door to more exclusive brands wanting to associate with the game and more lucrative sponsorship and TV deals.
interesting point , clubs that do charge a higher entrance fee in the championship tend to have higher attendances , leigh, widnes ,fev ,bradford ,fax and york all seem to pull em in , although they have some good offers and generally speaking decent grounds .

The lack of regular, fit half backs had a lot to do with the wingers not seeing much good ball last season.
could have spruced up on defence a bit whilst waiting for the ball

Surprising to see Newcastle at 16/1. Full time environment and with the signings they’ve made, I’d full expect them to be pushing the top 3. That’s the least I’d expect from them.
may take time to gel with virtually a new team , i still expect them to make the playoffs though , my top six would be , leigh , fax , fev , york , newcastle and widnes.

Generally a good idea, although those clubs with the largest followings (e.g Fev) will get the greatest benefits.
No , the other club's that participate will gain the most .

Are £10 if you have a season ticket, Bradford Dewsbury, Barrow,Workington and Whitehaven and same for them when any of their fans come to Fev.
