under the new league format : Mon Apr 21, 2014 9:31 pm  
Am I right in thinking under next years structure we would be two or three games away from the season splitting into three leagues of 8.

and we currently - albeit hypothetically - are one place and one point above dropping into a poop league (no Disrespect meant) with Wakefield, Leigh Featherstone and Doncaster....?

I might phone the club shop and See how Season ticket sales are going......... :?

Were you around at the end of the 1980s in the Drummond, Gregory, Lyon and co era when we used to finish in the bottom half of a poop league (no Disrespect meant) with Leigh, Sheffield Eagles, Rochdale, Halifax, Barrow, Oldham and Featherstone in it....?

the Season ticket sales were probably rubbish back then too seeing as we used to only get 3000 or 4000 a game at Wilderspool

yeah I remember Leigh being champions, in fact the last champions with an all British Squad. I had a season ticket then, it cost about £3.20 for a seat in the old south stand at wilderspool. I remember Halifax being champions and us beating them in the premiership final the same year. I also Remember Sheffield being Champions of the Challenge cup.

they were all top flight sides and Leigh and Halifax in particular were very good sides. Now they are not. They are established lower league sides..... I was asking a question about the prospect of playing a second tier of Rugby

what point were you sarcastically trying to make.....??

Those teams were not great sides in the late 1980s I can assure you.

The point was this was regarded by many of our fans as an era of fond memories despite the fact our results were as or more inconsistent than they are now and we had to play some teams that were borderline professional....

Is the new format, where presumably qualifying for the top 8 will actually mean something, going to be any worse than what we have had over the past few seasons, which is 28 friendly games and then the matches only counting once the playoffs start and Leeds decide to start taking it seriously?

This time last year on this forum people were saying how the league format was ruining the game because the atmosphere wasn't the same any more just watching Warrington go through the motions annihilating teams when it didn't matter.

The more I think about the new format the more I am willing to give it a shot. One thing that will have significance for us though is our performances against the top clubs must improve because if we do make it in to the top tier after the split those will be the games that carry over, and we will need to be top 4 to make the real 'playoffs' at the end, so games against Wigan, Saints and Leeds will be huge.

I take it the OP hasn't watched much championship RL this year. I was at the Shay last week and it was a far better game and atmosphere than anything I have seen watching Warrington this year.
