Depends if they want it, there will be no Sky money plus no crowds until October and I don't think they are full time so its tough on the players.

MADREDNIGE Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Well Mark Campbell wants promotion but i don't know if he was looking at next season, it's really short notice in all honesty for this season but i were saying Fev should be asked before Leigh simply because they were runners up.

Even if the Championship can only restart in a much reduced form common sense says that it would be unfair when a SL team has withdrawn from this season not to allow the Championship teams to compete to take that team's place for 2021. When that did come into it where the SL clubs are concerned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hela Wigmen Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I don’t think the credibility of Super League is improved by promoting a side that haven’t earned that promotion. Fev can come up but they must win this short form Championship, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweaty craiq Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 It was done on a points scoring system based on crowds, 5 year playing records, facilities and reliance on DR, and a £1m bond. I believe if Bradford hadn't been so unwilling to restart the season then they may have got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A more valid case is that they are far less likely to go Boom or Bust. How can you rely on Beaumont to stick with them through bad times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blind side johnny Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 So, given that the new cup competition, without any P&R, has been announced with a voluntary entry how many clubs will agree to participate and how many will decline? The rumour (and that is all it is) I hear is that three Championship clubs have already indicated that they are unwilling to participate. I also understand that the proposal, dependent upon numbers, is for the formation of two or more leagues, with a roughly E/W separation. Each club will play around 6 or 7 matches followed by semi-finals and a final. No doubt this will change according to participation. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
