| Quote Wellsy13="Wellsy13"I would stop "automatic" relegation/promotion between them two leagues.
There will obviously be club that have a good team but would never be able to afford to compete at a higher level due to finances, ground facilities, etc. If they pass criteria needed to get into the Championship (which most of the top Championship 1 sides would) then it wouldn't be an issue.
I see it much in the same way as SL was when it still had promotion and relegation. If a team that clearly wasn't up to standard won the league (like Hunslet and Dewsbury) then they wouldn't go up. In this example, if a team like Hemel won and they only had a ground that held 500 people (I don't know this, I'm just being hypothetical) then they clearly wouldn't be able to make the step up.'"
In summary therefore the actual playing of the game and the results are of secondary importance.
Glad that's clarified. |

Do the lower leagues still employ the 50% ruling? Could be a factor. |

There are two parts to professional sport. You have to compete off the field as well.
What professional sports league do you know that doesn't have standards for promotion? |

You don't get promoted in the World Cup qualifiers. You "qualify" for a tournament held in a nation (a nation which has to have standards in order to be the host).
And I don't know anything about Tennis. Do they have to play home games, etc.? (geniune question). |

|  Why would any big backer ( apart from an RL Fan ) put money into a new RL Team joining the Championship? Leeds Rhinos can't even make much of a profit! Widnes Doncaster Gateshead oldham Whitehaven Rochdale, the list of clubs who have been in administration or very very near is just getting longer and longer. Apart from a French club maybe I can't see ANY new semi pro teams joining the league. |
