Promotion To The Rugby League Super League (EDM84)

Promotion To The Rugby League Super League

EDM number 84 in 2001-02, proposed by Andy Burnham on 04/07/2001.

That this House congratulates Leigh, Widnes, Rochdale, Oldham, Featherstone Rovers, Dewsbury, Hull Kingston Rovers and Keighley Rugby League clubs on reaching the play-offs of the Northern Ford Premiership; notes that the line-up includes clubs with a proud tradition and illustrious history in the Rugby Football League; believes that all sports need to hold out the hope of promotion to competitiors if they are to maintain their public appeal in the long-term; and calls on the Super League to accept the NFP league champions and NFP play-off winners into the Super League as a step towards establishing a proper system of promotion and relegation between the two leagues.

This motion has been signed by a total of 24 MPs.
