Stuff Smith Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Any team getting promoted under these circumstances would be an embarrassment to the game. But everything will carry on as normal. It has before and it will now. Embarrassment to the game? Nothing compared to the farce of the Gateshead/Hull merger. And about ten people remember what actually happened with that now.

Hela Wigmen Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 It looks weighted towards Bradford, certainly. I hope not because I’d rather spend a weekend in Toulouse or York than a Friday night in Bradford but thats my own selfish reasoning. I’m looking forward to the announcement because it puts more certainty on the 2021 season and gets us a step closer to fixtures coming out and the game starting again. It may have only ended two weeks ago but I miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindle xiii Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Odsal, the perfect sporting arena for these social distance times. When we are allowed out...

MrPosh Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 It can't be us, it would be ridiculous. It also can't be Fev or Leigh. I don't mind either if they win promotion, but nobody who wants the game to be anything approaching a credible sport can choose to have these teams in a top division. Toulouse would be my preference, but I'd be delighted if London or York could establish themselves in the top division. I'd like to think in three or four years the one chosen will still be in SL and natural selection will have the other two in there at the expense of one East Yorkshire and one West Yorkshire club.

Bedfordshire Bronco Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 3 hours ago, Man of Kent said: 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’. Like most people I miss having Bradford back as a big, well supported, successful big city team I've heard the phrase 'fish where the fish are' when it comes to RL and I have to agree Half a million people in Bradford right? That's a massive market for a top flight team to work with. In a place where they have a profile already and a rubbish soccer team If they do get it I hope its a catalyst for them being back for good. And play at Valley Parade!

I’m always reminded of that Mark Evans dude who appeared on the Rugby Reloaded podcast. Bradford represents something like a quarter of the ‘RL population’. UK RL can’t really afford not to have Bradford in Super League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertAM Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 For obvious reasons I don't have my preferred horse in the race..love to see the Knights in because it's my old hometown but what I'm really looking forward to is the absolute balderdash Elstone comes out with when the announcement is made. A guy with no idea or vision on how to grow the game babbling on about how team X's inclusion will help to do just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next set of accounts will cover about 10 months to Nov 2019 (essentially to the change to BBBBB). After submitting those I'd guess it will be wound up. Did BBBBB take on the debt?
