First we had the idea of ARC chairman Bob McDermott to start next season on Boxing Day with three chief objectives -to aiiow ciubs to play traditional Christmas and New Year fixtures, to test the popularity of winter rugby in January and February without going all the way and to create a season in which Northern Ford Premiership clubs had at least two months without Super League competition. While clubs were getting their heads around that little lot, it emerged that RFL chief Neil Tunnicliffe was preparing astrategy document with proposals on several issues designed to safeguard the future of Premiership clubs over the next few years. This official 16-page document appears to have replaced McDermott’s suggestions ...and, lo and behold, it calls for next season to start on D e c e m b e r 1 . My view -and Ihave expressed it before in this programme -is that if we are going to tinker about once more with the timing of our season we MUST take advantage of the three best months for rugby in the UK calendar, namely September, October and November. Ican sympathise with those who will inevitably argue that it is inviting trouble to start anew season on December 1, just as the worst of the winter i s a b o u t t o h i t u s . Iwonder, however, if this is aclever move which could be the forerunner*;# of agradual return to afull winter season over the course of the next few years. Given anything like ahint of encouragement by attendances in J December, I’m sure the winter-rugby lobby would push to start on November 1in 2000, October 1in 2001 and September 1in 2002, by which time we would be back where we said farewell to the traditional winter season in 1995. Oldham chairman Christopher Flamilton, incidentally, also had amajc input on Tunnicliffe’s strategy document, which was due to be discussed b APC clubs in Dewsbury today. Tunnicliffe also wants to abolish the top-five play-off system in thf Premiership and replace it with aconventional and truly English-style top-eight play-off to be decided by astraight knock-out format. That makes sense, too, because as we know only too well from the experience of the Roughyeds, this season for far too many teams in the Premiership was effectively over little more than half way through the programme. Tunnicliffe was also proposing afixture formula which would require all clubs to play each other home and away, giving a34-match league programme. For the first eight weeks of the season the clubs would be split into tv, geographical groups of nine, based on asplit between Yorkshire as one groi and Lancashire and Cumbria as the other. The clubs will play other clubs in their region and t lub from either side of the Pennines would pla ms Pennine Cup final some time in late January In Luxury Also proposed is aNFP knock-out tournar K' Coach Travel and plans to limit clubs to part-time profess! apart from one overseas player, whom clubs be allowed to put on afull-time contract.

Doncaster, our guests this afternoon, have spent big to assemble aside that has performed well this season and we will have to be “tuned in” for 80 minutes to get the win we want. It is ironic to see ourselves and Doncaster so near the top of the table after last season when we finished in the bottom two positions in the league. Ihave said, on may occasions, since we started the club that our position as aclub would be strengthened considerably once the News Corporation distributions were evened up and the 2000 season has seen that happen. The remaining games for the players this season include some real toughies but the beauty of the situation is, after today’s visitors Doncaster, we still have to play Leigh, Widnes and Featherstone all at home, and Dewsbury away, out of the top eight and therefore we can control our own destiny.
