Background This season saw several changes in the entrants, one club re-formed/renamed, two French clubs were invited instead of the junior clubs, and one club withdrew. This resulted in one less club/entrant reducing the total number to thirty-seven. The changes, in detail, are: Trafford Borough re-formed as Blackpool Gladiators and moved back to Blackpool, playing at Jepson Way, Blackpool Two French clubs, Carcassonne and XIII Catalan were invited to join the competition, instead of the junior clubs, who were no longer invited Scarborough Pirates went into administration at the end of previous season The preliminary round involved ten clubs, to reduce the numbers of entrants to the first round proper to thirty-two.
