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 ?
Time to reset
back to 2 divisions with p and r
even if it is 16 in each
how many teams are viable?
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.
