Nope, I want us in C1 if we're liquidated and reformed as an entirely new club- it happens to coincide with the views of the coach of the strongest C1 side who would take our champ place in a heart beat if offered, which would make life in C1 that bit easier for us as currently Toronto are likely to occupy one of the promotion spots. If we are a new club it would be proper (and more beneficial in the long run IMHO) to start at the bottom (C1) with the same points and chances as everyone else as opposed to starting in the champ with minus 12 and fighting relegation from the first kick. I couldn't really care what anyone else thinks, we have far bigger concerns first, its just the silver lining that it also marries up to what I think the general consensus of RL fans is that a new club should start from the bottom.

If were somehow bought out of admin/limbo and not liquidation then staying in the champ might be more of a goer depending on the sporting sanctions/owner

Well, if we stay in Champ for 2017 we'll likely be in champ1 for 2018
If we go to champ1 for 2017, we'll have a shot at being in Champ for 2018

I agree.

HELP! (Not Good or Bad, just indifferent news)

So we go into administration; but lots of people interested in buying us; then no-one buys us; then liquidation; then posts get merged; then we're not in liquidation; but backhander bidder is going to buy us; then he's not; and one of the secret bidders has abbreviations BBC; wtf?

I thought I was confused, but now I dont even know if I am confused or not?

Correct, assuming minus 12 in champ and zero points in c1. Plus it's just the right thing for a new club if that's what we're to be.

But, the league is not the thing yet. Getting owners we can trust who want to and have the means to move us forward is the only thing to matter really at the mo. Until then we're nothing and it's all just hot air and a waste of time.

You wouldn't think it would be so hard for the RFL to ask all the C1 clubs if they wanted to take our place and then work from there.

If Whitehaven said yes then it's theirs. If they don't want it then put the names in a hat. Could sort it out in an hour.

Cannot see how promoting Toronto would work ? Their CC & first 5 league matches are in the UK . They are not playing home/away/home/away in March & April anyway.
