zorquif Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 It's important because saying 'the definition' of implies some kid of authority. But at least now I know it is your opinion only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 If all teams were made to play at a level relevant to their Size and fanbase then there would be no point in playing sport! Football, cricket, rugby union all have promotion and relegation. If Bradford have a potential fanbase of 15,000 as claimed then they will naturally rise to the Super league on merit.

Agbrigg Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 If Bradford have a potential fanbase of 15,000 as claimed then they will naturally rise to the Super league on merit. If that claim is correct, how did they manage to find themselves in The Championship in the first place ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Australia operates such a system in the NRL. Cricket only has it in one form of the game The one-day competitions (which make the money) are not P+R. Other sports like Ice Hockey have no P+R. Football and RU have more clubs at a level capable of making the transition to the next level smoothly. Anyway, Bradford will be full-time in 2016 so perhaps it's all irrelevant. "I am the avenging angel; I come with wings unfurled, I come with claws extended from halfway round the world. I am the God Almighty, I am the howling wind. I care not for your family; I care not for your kin. I come in search of terror, though terror is my own; I come in search of vengeance for crimes and crimes unknown. I care not for your children, I care not for your wives, I care not for your country, I care not for your lives." - (c) Jim Boyes - "The Avenging Angel" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumby Magic Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I feel we'll finish in 2nd again in the Championship under Jimmy. Will that be good enough? Our signings or potential signing are of a better standard than previous. Adam Henry, Ryan Shaw and Davies have left with Welham and Lee Smith linked. Adam o Brien will be at Leeds next year though................. Like poor jokes? Thejoketeller@mullymessiah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 The one day cricket competitions, including twenty20 are cup games where the teams are placed in regional groups. When there was a 40 over league there was promotion and relegation. I actually like the speedway playoffs which are top 4 home and away where the first club selects who they play. Paradoxically there is no relegation here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
