Do you want to explain how it won't happen ?

It won't , because nobody will be going up or down at all

" I do think clubs should be locked out for 3 years rather than yearly " , " this will of course result in locked out essentially forever " , but who cares ?

Only if your club is performing poorly on the pitch , not if you are 8th 10 points above the bottom

You said it hadn't started , I suggested it had already part finished , those 7 + 2 will be able to recruit no matter how bad they are knowing they are safe , the others won't , because even if they are mid table well clear of the bottom , they won't know where they are in 2025

They'll make sure it doesn't

Takes away some of excitement doesn't it Eddie

Maybe answer my other post on the structure already working ' for some '

If we are frozen out , I'd doubt Derek will continue

We must retain yearly on field P and R IMO

They won't

And as I put earlier , that's exactly what happened last time , after 3 years of Licencing I was attending maybe 2-3 home games against the more interesting opposition and a similar number of away games for a ' day out ' , that compared to around 90% of all games previously , it wasn't a conscious decision , the feeling around the sport had changed , I will expect that to happen again to those frozen out , not maybe overnight , but a slow creeping decline As MJM put at the top of the last page , the idea that any club frozen out for 3 years will be able to build their club to the point to displace a club already in is fanciful

It already has for Leeds Wigan,Wire,Dragons,Saints,FC,HKR and to a lesser degree for Salford and the Giants , they are all essentially safe from relegation for next year and will be able to easily recruit for 2025

So you do attend games ?

Top post

As funny as your post is AB , I'd suggest it will be more of " Thanks lads for your efforts in securing us a 7th place finish and just missing out on the play offs , but due to our lack of social media engagement we'll be removed from SL next year , so you'll all have to find another club "

It already has Chris

His insinuation was that you don't

So they'll be reviewed ' mid season ' then final assessments for the following season So we'll get another ' table ' next summer , by then the relevant clubs can look how they can ' fiddle ' the final books But will they be able to sign anybody ?

So a spiral of less fans , less money , less interest , less fans , less money , less interest

To walk away , you first have to be going

I'm not talking about just the removed club , I'm talking about the ( some former SL ) bigger clubs in the Championship who aspired to regain a top tier place , which will be essentially completely removed by this system

Seeing your hard earned fan base dwindle , and your finances with it will be catastrophic , which will then in turn reduce interest at the other clubs

I lost interest last time , but this would be much worse

You wish he was yours though
