Might not have any choice, the issue with that is it has ramifications for the TV deal. Those of interest want more clubs.

Still think personally although not ideal stick with six club top league next year stabalise it get all teams competitive, with a view to getting a support package together to get Eastie in from 2028.

I would say 2028 at the earliest.

Can only think they’re wanting to get a TV deal over the line first and that’s still ongoing. Gives them more time to get Eastbourne involved as well although I’m reliably informed that that has run in to issues that are proving difficult to resolve. Again, how long do they wait? Groundhog day 🙄  

I think with Ablitt he just doesn’t quite have the consistently from meeting to meeting just yet, however I do think there is a good rider in there. He’s only young and dominated a number of the youth ranks when he was younger. For me he’s a 50/50 for 2027, wouldn’t be shocked to see him but also wouldn’t be shocked to see him dropped 

That’s a difficult one.🤔Unless they are playing with someone else’s money.
