To be scrapped after this Season,in 2019 one up one down

Re: ""Super Eights " : Tue Jun 12, 2018 2:45 pm  

A big part of the problem with our spot is the constant changing of the structure. There's no consistency and no chance to build any history. Compare it to football with the Premier League: they got it right 26 years ago, and the structure has hardly been changed since.


Also, its totally unprofessional that they make these changes so late. More than half way through this season and no-one knows what the situation will be next season. How can teams plan for the long term?!?

The top team should be promoted, end of. Although it might help us if there was a play-off game as we've never come first since we got ejaculated from SL!

It was a carp idea.

The biggest nail in its coffin was the fact that folk didn't flock to watch the games.

No doubt it'll be replaced with another carp idea.

Griff, if it was 6 up and 6 down it wouldn't involve the Eagles.

So what ? I want what's good for the game. Not what's good for Leigh.

And - as we've finished in the top six in each season since this crazy system started, I'd question that anyway. You're probably thinking of Fax.

If this is approved then we need a Cup competition again like the Northern rail cup to create something for the rest of the Championship and league 1 to play for, otherwise there is little other than a few quid for finishing higher up to get fans interested in.
