22A Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 I see on tonight's news it has been proposed to the Rugby League that "Certain top clubs" should be exempt relegation. Presumably good news for say, Leeds & Wigan, but not the likes of Castleford. If the RL adopt this proposal (meeting on 13th October), I can imagine other sports following suit. Perhaps the likes of Yorkshire not being relegated to Division 2 of cricket's County Championship and then of course.....football. OK if you are a London club or one from the North West, but not the remainder of the Prem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might not happen in what's left of my lifetime but I reckon it will in time become a closed shop of clubs chosen for their commercial potential.

Lanterne Rouge Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Perhaps all the top clubs in Europe could get together and come up with some proposals for some sort of continent - wide league system? 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witch means they should never be relegated as Yackshere is the greatest County on Earth and to never be messed with. How come anybody from up there is from Yorkshire as opposed to Leeds Hull or Tadcaster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
