Mr Plow Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 It won’t happen surely. I’d put Leigh ahead of Bradford. Toulouse, York and London are the obvious favourites. I can’t see the logic of kicking Toronto out because of their poor finances to then promote Bradford who are infamous because of their poor finances (but they bring a big away following) 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Agreed, though I think it will be Bradford (maybe pessimism and lack of confidence in SL at work) . As much as I’d love to see them back in SL it shouldn’t be like this, I’m surprised their application was even considered. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man of Kent Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Leigh is probably the sensible yet boring choice but if SL wanted Bradford back in the fold then this is a great opportunity as it could take many years ‘organically’. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AB90 Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Think you been a bit harsh on your team. Your by the far the largest supported club out of the six mentioned and probably the 6th largest supported club in the UK based in a city of over 500,000 people. I can see why they are one of the front runners. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate90 Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 I hope it's Toulouse. Bradford have been too much of a financial mess over the past decade and a half despite multiple owners. I can't see it being any different if they come back up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnoco Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Slightly OTT. Bradford probably shouldn’t be in SL, but I doubt that if they were admitted it would be the issue that questioned the integrity of the game. But the wider picture is that they are even able to apply and are apparently one of the front runners. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the bulls in SL would bring more fans than Wakie, Salford and Huddersfield. Although the away fans argument is ridiculous, clubs should focus on expanding their own fanbases 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be 6th on the list of applicants. I feel the integrity of the sport rests on Monday's decision. I feel the Newcastle decision was the correct one and similar decision like this needs to made. Rugby League needs to be completely transparent and Monday is a good day to start. I totally agree. I'm also dreading the announcement in case for some inexplicable reason we are 'chosen'. As for the 'away following' argument, the Bulls away following has gradually declined in recent years, as you might have expected. Yes, there'd probably be a boost if we got put into SL, and we'd certainly take more than some of the existing clubs. But any SL clubs hoping for or expecting a humungous away following, such as we had in the early 2000s, are deluding themselves. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say most would have lost interest in RL. Relatively few fans are that dedicated that they’ll keep following something regardless of any other factors.
