Wakefield Trinity • IMG Announce Proposed Criteria for Super League 2025
Being pleasantly surprised by the scoring, I've had a stab at the score breakdown. I have to admit to having to score higher than I predicted in some areas in order to reach the 12.52 score awarded by IMG.
But with the score bandings in most sections being structured very much in a way where common sense can rule out any other possibilities - it leaves only a few areas where the scores could differ. (Without knowing unpublished figures within accounts, official stadium capacities for this season etc).
The scores do support statements from the club - stronger than I envisaged in the Fandom and Financial areas. I actually do agree with some of the sentiments from Championship clubs that the scoring (particularly in fandom) heavily favors existing Super League clubs. And probably show the correct areas have been prioritised at WT, despite perceptions. As weak as I do think our marketing/social channels have been over the last few years...the stats tick the boxes needed within the criteria.
Also attempted to forecast next year's score, again heavily based on guesswork and common sense. But there are some notes to justify my thinking.
