Would expect them to be announced sooner rather than later mind as pre season will be here soon Here's hoping. I fear we're going to be right in the dogfight again, and don't think we'll be so luck next timeĀ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivans82 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I wouldn`t panic at not signing players , with all the uncertainty surrounding the Championship and Div 1 , nobody knows what the RFL will come up with about the current lay out of the Championship and Div 1 , you could spend money only to find they will re-jig the leagues , so i think you`ll find a lot of Teams will sit tight this year and see whats on the table for the season after . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the leagues are restructured I can't see them merging. I reckon they might increase the size of L1 at the expense of the ChampionshipĀ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discussions about the lower leagues are supposed to take place before the 2024 season gets underway so that clubs will know what, if anything, they are playing for. The probability is for a merger but split into regional divisions which could separate part way through the season into "top half and bottom half". This is by no means definite but hopefully some clarity will emerge before February is out. Anyone splashing the cash before then could well be burning through money for no real reason.

Not really burning through money , more investing in a squad for the future plus entertainment for the fans to ensure attendances hold up.

Personally I would prefer to see clubs investing in local young players that they can develop themselves rather than imports, but maybe I'm just a curmudgeon. 3 1 Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

Just a thought TBF, IMG base points on little things like car parking spaces , I'm sure that'll be in hand as well as the playing roster. I'd be worried Barrow are maybe investing in the other areas rather than on the playing roster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have no worries when you look at other clubs seems Haven contribution to the community was a knitting circle and some businesses used the the ground now and then. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
