They won't get a franchise this year either.

not a chance, no stadium = no franchise

I feel a bit sorry for them in that aspect - their stadium getting called in was not only needless but a massive, massive blow. Walking past the empty shell that is now Knowsley Road reminds me how lucky we are to be getting our new ground.

i definately feel for them such a historic club while i applaude the RFL for trying to raise standards of the clubs and the competition they do make the clubs jump through a lot of hoops, IMO the emphasis should be on clubs producing talent and playing at the highest possible standard

Belle Vue is a dump though!
