10-team Leagues

[HKR AWAY DAYS]

I'm not sure if this has been discussed elsewhere on the forum but I read today that in the next couple of months it will be announced that the Championship and League One will become 10-team leagues.

Currently there are 25 non-SL sides, so I am wondering how this is going to work should the suggested restructure happen.

What happens to the 5 clubs who miss out? Can we expect them to form a 'non-league'-style league with other clubs outside the professional game? Will SL expand to 14 potentially leaving 3 clubs to sort out?

How do you see this playing out?

Where have you seen this story?

15 non sl sides?

Should add a two word caveat to this - Mick Gledhill

Ah.

[Jughead]

Big Mick claims an announcement is due in June/July. Then again, he claimed Sam Luckley had joined Halifax last week.

If Mick Gledhill said that the sun was shining I'd immediately put up my umbrella!

Fair one.

He must have got it from somewhere, like.

I thought Mick was suggesting 2x 10s for SL and Championship, with League 1 disappearing

It seems that way. His tweet where this has started from is saying that yesterdays win vs Dewsbury was one of their biggest results ever and that David Hughes would not want London Broncos in League One for when the two divisions of ten are announced in 2024.

There seems to be a pattern emerging with the replies haha. 

[The storm]

Really hope this is not the case. 

Will be like super rugby where noboby watches

What makes you think that?

[Rugbyleaguesupporter]

What we need is another structure thread! 

Would first lot of ten play each other three times, or would they play twice and then once against second lot of 10? 

Seventeen clubs in league one- could play each other once and have the 1895 Cup?

2x10 SL would be a disaster.

[idrewthehaggis]

It has been discussed comprehensively on here.

The general opinion is that its would be detrimental to the game.

It would and it would be done for all the wrong reasons i.e to cut a shrinking pie less ways, not because it makes sense on any level.

Nobody likes the five loop fixtures we have so the answer must be nine loop fixtures

No it wouldn’t - it is the logical way forward to support France and allow ambitious clubs a platform to grow with like minded clubs by providing increased competition and the move between SL1&2 not a disaster

The caveat to its success will be  mandatory FT, min spend of say £1.2m in SL2 and a French tv deal  with 3/4 clubs in the structure

None of what you say will happen. 2x10s is not even a prerequisite to do any of what you say. It will not be SL2, it will be a renamed Championship.
