HKR AWAY DAYS Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) 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?

Jughead Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Big Mick claims an announcement is due in June/July. Then again, he claimed Sam Luckley had joined Halifax last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dealwithit Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I thought Mick was suggesting 2x 10s for SL and Championship, with League 1 disappearing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Rugbyleaguesupporter Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 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?

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 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will not be SL2, it will be a renamed Championship. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
