Do we know when/how the make up of next years Championship will be made public?

What are the criteria?

Is it average home gate (plus for us)

Is it "potential" facilities?

Is it league position/playing record?

Is it commitment to junior development? (another plus for us!)


My big worry is that the RFL will only allow 1 West Cumbria team in without any right of appeal.

The minus 9 could be an issue, what is also unfair is that the minus nine equates to 3 games lost without the very real possibility that bonus points could have been collected.

For me the minus nine isn't a cause for concern, as we have the potential to win promotion anyway, but the reason for the points reduction could count against us massively!!!

I think the new championship set up has been deferred for another 12 months

The minus 9 will have nothing to do with it, none of the rules say you cant have been deducted points, the deduction was the "punishment" not the offense, the reall potential banana skin is "Administration" not the ammount of points we were penalised for going in to administration.
