We are an A grade, in 7th

Seems performances (surprise surprise) not owning the ground and empty seats holding us back. Scoring well on turnover, TV audiences, social media and all that jazz.

Done really well to get an A,with on field performances taken in to account

Re: IMG score : Wed Oct 25, 2023 9:46 am  

Quite surprised in a good way.

London sat in 24th whilst Toulouse are 10th, that play off final must've killed IMG/RFL

Re: IMG score : Wed Oct 25, 2023 10:19 am  

Seems a bit harsh to be effectivity marked down for playing in the best stadium in the league but generally we have to be happy with an A.

Is there any point in London bothering next season? They could win every game and still be relegated.

Appleyard's headline is Rovers ahead of FC. Very true but would have thought securing a grade A is of more importance than one-upmanship. Not entirely surprising though.

It's.oossibly to discourage teams desperately renting big grounds to tick the box, like Cas could say hire Elland Road at.big expense but what does that really achieve?

Quite obvious we need to sort ourselves out on the field then crowds will be boosted a bit.

Surprised but satisfied with A but as you say that particular criteria is flawed.

We have 4th highest average attendance despite our p*ss poor performances. It's baffling that we are penalised for having the biggest and best stadium in SL.

It's just another imaginary trophy to put in their cabinet

Even if we achieve the highest average attendance in SL say 15k because our stadium is too big we will still be marked down. Strange.
