The framework says SL would expand to accommodate, that would be comedy (to me anyway)

Maybe we should bring back lineouts?

To what end?

found this, its effectively a National Cup Plate The ties between Normanton and West Hull, and Leigh Miners and Brentwood, have been postponed, according to GameDay. Fixtures (Saturday 18 July): Ince Rose Bridge v Rochdale Mayfield; Skirlaugh v Thatto Heath Crusaders; Normanton Knights v West Hull -pp; Featherstone Lions v Bentley; Leigh Miners Rangers v Brentwood Eels -pp; Hull Dockers v Crosfields; Barrow Island v Orrell St James; Woolston Rovers v Thornhill Trojans. Meanwhile the inaugural 1973 Cup, which involves teams that lost in the first round of the National Cup, also takes place on Saturday. Fixtures are: Stainland Stags v Hunslet ARLFC; Bristol All Golds v Blackbrook. Fryston Warriors and Distington have byes.

It was all on the same channel at least, and mainly 1pm Saturday. BBC was all over the place If we are selling a secondary deal it needs to be for every week of the season not just some of them, that contributed to the erratic scheduling

They played in the pro pyramid for about 20 years didn’t they? I thought their downfall was more linked to Broncos fall from Super League, there wasn’t room for two semi pro outfits

Won’t any uplift simply fund clubs 13&14 so no material uplift for 1-12?

Just need some artists impressions now

I have a theory that its @Griff

League One had issues when there weren’t enough teams however there was a plan in place, that the time the championship was 14, if the plan had gone through it would have been 12/12/11 (i think) that would have been perfectly fine

Either way they should have ruled by now. Wednesday next week for instance would be an option equally rubbish for both

I have done. Less so these days

Anybody who chooses to listen to Lee Dixon when alternatives are available must be a bit odd

Widnes are forecast to be at the £400k bracket, only operating at £500k due to dispensations. So I'd assume Salford would need a top up if they want to spend the max cap

Luke Backhouse was sniffing around Widnes a number of years ago but it never materialised
