Gone **** up with immediate effect!

Last Sunday's game with 'Haven was their last.

There's a post on Facebook, but I'm not tech enough to transfer it on to here.

Can anybody assist with this please?

Spelly.

What an absolute shame. I actually thought they were handling the situation well and would grow the game down there. Real shame 😡

Another expansion/new team attempt down the C*****r. File NFA along with: Scarborough Pirates, Prescott Panthers, Nottingham City, Kent Invicta, London Skolars, Gloucester All Golds, Chorley Lynx, Carlisle Border Raiders and a load more. It's a shame it didn't work but not really a surprise. The owners couldn't attract new investment which is a sad thing to hear. RL for the most part in this country seems more constrained in the M62 corridor than ever. Where exactly is this sport going ?

This shows how vulnerable clubs are.  Recently both Halifax &  Whitehaven have had financial problems. I fear Newcastle will be next as getting heavily stuffed each week cannot go on indefinitely & did go the other year temporarily. Even in SL Salford are in real trouble & losing all their best players. Even Mc Manus at Saints has said he cannot/ will not continue to splash out £1.5 million a year indefinitely.

So much for a Championship & League 1 of 12 teams each. Back to the drawing board. The RFL really do need to wake up before the game expires over the next 10 years.

To survive it looks like a move back to a semi professional part time may be the only answer? If the Aussies get involved with the SL  I cannot see them helping the lower clubs.
