Super League sticks with 14
|
|
Clubs have voted to keep the engage Super League a 14-team competition from 2012.
The decision was made at a meeting with club representatives to discuss future strategy despite talk that central funding would be better off being split 12 ways instead of 14. Super League was expanded for the 2009 season, when promotion and relegation was scrapped and three-year licences were introduced. However, the recent economic downturn prompted calls for an about-turn, with Rugby Football League chief executive Nigel Wood sparking a debate over the current set-up at the launch of the new season in London. Although no voting details have been disclosed, the League say that clubs have decided to stick with 14 teams, at least through to 2014. Super League licences are next up for debate for the 2012 campaign and it seems a Co-operative Championship club are certain to be promoted. Castleford, Salford, St Helens and Wakefield have all been warned to follow up on their pledges to move to new stadia or face the consequences. So far three Championship clubs - Widnes, Barrow and Halifax - have earned the right to seek promotion. A decision will be made in the summer of 2011. |
