Super League clubs have voted to stick with a 14-team competition for at least another four seasons following speculation the number of teams could be cut to 12.
The decision, which was taken at a meeting of all 14 Rugby Football League (RFL) clubs, will be a relief to the teams whose licences would have been threatened by any cut.
The Guardian reports that the RFL is committed to promoting at least one current Championship club when the current three-year licences run out at the end of the 2011 season, meaning that a reduction to 12 teams would have led to at least three Super League clubs being demoted.
The RFL plans to make an announcement on which Championship club – or possibly clubs – are to be promoted next spring, with Widnes the strong favourites.
