We had Featherstone with a tax winding up order served Now Bradford and these teams get decent crowds for our league, surely The RFL must do something about this, instead of burying their heads in the sand .
At amateur level the sport is a shambles. No where near as many youngsters playing the sport and many clubs no longer exist. I really do fear for the future of the sport.
Well, really the RFL cannot win. If they let clubs do what they want, they're criticised for allowing clubs to go bust. If they set salary caps, folk moan why should clubs with "ambition " (ie a supporter with too much money) be prevented from spending what they want ?
The fact is, I have no real objection to folk donating money to sports clubs. Folk can spend their money as they wish. What I do object to is folk lending money to clubs - with an expectation of getting it back when the good times roll in. The good times never arrive. Get promoted and that's when your financial problems really start.
Games at amateur level get missed as groups of lads are on holiday or families are away, look at most clubs and I bet below 1st team level they hardly ever have the same team out weeks in a row.
