stadium is around 8,000 which doesn't meet criteria. But I suppose the RFL will make an exception after 2 rounds of licensing eh

A&L, I think they are applying for Co-op Nat Lge 2 status and not Super League. If that's the case, this criterea won't apply.

Yes but why strive for a simple division 2 club when the money is in SL and they reckon their figures can add up to potentially a franchise in 3 years time?

i would love see teams from likes of northampton, coventry in the sport as it would surely help the game. plus we get to go more grounds whats not on m62 corridor. sick of going on coach or travelling between 30mins- 1hr 20 to games. i love it when we go quins or hull.

It's true there is things in the pipeline for it, pretty far down the track with it as well. Whether i'll get a shot at the pro's is another matter altogether, hopefully though......
