I keep reading that we are returning to promotion and relegation this year but i do not recall seeing it confirmed officially. Has anybody seen anything?

Depends who's near the bottom,Bulls and Broncos then no relegation,Wakey or Cas then yes.

The last RFL meeting got a "walkout" so i doubt its cast in stone yet and the nearer it gets to the first game of this season the more doubt there must be. Who knows.

I was under the impression there was a meeting of SL clubs sometime in January.

It’s a shame Red Hall hasn’t got a viewing area, it’s going to be a classic

.

There will be promotion and relegation in the 2015 season that has been confirmed but how and how many have not. The worst that will happen next year (depending how you look at it) is that S|L club(s) will be relegated at end of 2014 season.

Wow, thanks for explaining that.

You may be right about promotion & relegation in the 2015 season, however, what if the SL CEO’s get round the table in January & ratify that, what about the 2014 season?

What if they agree there will be no relegation in SL at the end of 2014 followed by a straight one up, one down in 2015, to pacify the Championship clubs. What if they also agree that the SL team relegated in 2015 receives a parachute payment & overseas exemptions for one season?

There would be no level playing field & the said relegated team would probably come straight back up.

Due to licensing the SL has become a member’s only club & they won’t want Status Quo changing by much I fear.

Never a truer word!!

I wouldn't be suprised if that was one of the sticking points in London's recent negotiations with the RFL and Barnets owner.

Today they have no team and have a game in 4 weeks!! Who is going to invest in a club that is guaranteed to go down!

Can I put one of these in too

Can't see there been relegation this year with the state London are in and now Bradford.

The quote that went along with the talk about reintroducing promotion and relegation, was that there wouldn't be any protected teams.
Of course, the cynical ones amongst us "know" that this wont be the case.
