Yes, you believe York is ready, No, you do not want to fight it out with the other Championship clubs for promotion next season. Would it be that you consider this is the best opportunity York has of gaining SL status? Lastly, you say the squads will be substantially different, where are the new player's going to come from Gavin? Good morning Harry. I do want us to fight it out for promotion, if we don't get in on application. It may not be our best chance of ever getting in, but I can say with certainty it is for the 2021 season. Our chairman says they intend to sign 6 or 8 more players and that the coach is receiving calls from player agents nearly every day, especially NRL reserve grade. We would have the money and the quota spaces. However, regardless of which team gets in, it's still going to be a great season in the Championship.

I think Mrs Jones is at least as likely to take in York v Wakefield on her next visit to York than Featherstone v Wakefield on her next visit to Featherstone* But, being serious, it's more likely that someone from Scarborough, or Northallerton, who has been interested but never quite tempted enough to come and see a game when York were in League 1, makes the effort when we're in Super League. *. I actually live in Kent, next door to a Sharon Jones. I'll ask her.

Wilkin would struggle to differentiate his arris from his elbow, let alone letting him loose on the commercial merits of an heartlands club in the pandemic for a season Every club has its merits in this process but its facts that need comparison not emotions. The main fact will be capability to be competitive whilst riding the current crisis, we cannot afford another TW season if COVID continues to dictate the landscape what I personally hope comes from this is that two tens is accepted as the way to engage and expand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrived and asked where the football ground was. Was given very accurate directions which we followed only to discover ourselves outside the RL ground. I didn't realise that rugby was football there! Was , is and will always be,. My 8 shares still describe it as the football club. Even Dave Whelan recognised that......... The Aussie description of the game as ' footie ' says it all.........

That frees 3 full SL pots and the top 7 funding in the championship this gives the British clubs in the championship over £1m each which drops to about 600k if we provide a full share to the other clubs. 600k in that league should demand a £1m spend as a min Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
