The Rugby Football League has officially committed to reinstating promotion and relegation. We forced them to listen to the fans who demanded a real sporting meritocracy. Keep watching the upcoming league meetings to ensure they follow through on this promise.

Haven Horizon, a supporters group of Whitehaven RLFC, is calling on the Rugby Football League to review the current Super League licensing system and consider bringing back promotion and relegation. Since the move was made in 2009 to move to a franchise model, teams in the lower divisions have had their chances of reaching the top tier significantly reduced. In all the other major sports in the UK, football, cricket, rugby union, promotion and relegation exists successfully, so why has it been taken away from rugby league? Haven Horizon want to obtain as many signatures as possible to highlight that the rugby league community wants to see promotion and relegation return. If you agree and would like to see this happen, please sign this petition!

The game has gone stale without promotion. Needs to be competitive again like it used to be.

Bring back the old way! Franchise rugby is killing the lower leagues. My local team deserves a shot.

Every other sport has it figured out, why are we special? Need to get the ladder back so teams actually play for something at the end of the year.
