Workington Town were among several League One clubs who have made their feelings known about the difficulties ahead for the competition.
Resignations from London Skolars and Newcastle Thunder have left just eight clubs – meaning only seven home games.
This has been declared unworkable by the League One clubs who were able to meet representatives of the RFL last week for discussions.
A two tier competition – split east and west – under Super League has been suggested but apparently rejected by current Championship clubs.
As a result of their talks the eight remaining League One clubs, with the addition of Newcastle who hope to eventually reform after 2024, have issued a statement.
It says: “Following Thursday’s well documented meeting between the League One clubs and representatives of the RFL executive we can confirm that constructive talks remain ongoing.
“We are focused on driving an outcome which ultimately puts all member clubs outside of Super League on a level playing field, specifically in terms of the IMG grading criteria and an outcome in the best interests of driving a longer-term growth curve for the whole sport.”
IMG are expected to reveal their initial grading scores this week for all the clubs in Super League, the Championship and League One.
The figures that are expected to be released are based on figures over the last three years.
