Toulouse could be home and hosed!

When Catalans were admitted, Celtic Crusaders were created to make an even number of teams in the professional pyramid. I don't know the logistics or who could possibly step up, but it would be great to see another team added to NL2 if Toulouse get into SL.

Would rather it not be reliant on events elsewhere, would rather they let teams in when ready to NL2 as I don't think exact numbers are so important in that league, they've hostorically always varied (though I suppose even numbers is better for the other clubs)

Bramley are a ground from getting in, Hemel are also a ground away and maybe a little bit of money, Coventry are a good sponsorship deal away, assuming they then rent the RU ground as they used to, (though what happens there depends on if the union club go bust, as that may either get more fans for a NL2 team (none if they stay where they are as there are several higher standard RU teams in the city) or they may find themselves with no possible ground as the soccer ground is massively too big for NL2 and the other grounds are too small)

Toulouse, Celtic Crusaders and Salford.

15 with a bye. Didn't hurt the NRL.

Others (likes of Widnes) to step up via National 1 possibly down the track...

3 areas with super potential (Salford's unrealised) for TGG. Would be a shame for one to miss out.

However I stand by this from a while back...(with reference to the thread in international)

All the rumours are Widnes and Celtic with Toulouse to enter NL1 in 2010.

BTW, TRL is down until after the announcement! Also as predicted.

The more the ESL becomes the European Super league as opposed to teh English super league the happier I will be.. but is only emotional and ignores all the other requirements of candidature.

But it isnt f*cking 'English' is it as Celtic are in it! Doh!!
