CTID, remember we're in a recession and money is tighter than ever before. I work in the club industry all over the country and i see it first hand the impact it's making on peoples' spending - moreso in the north where our Rugby League heartland is.

As Dave as said - people aren't coming to the games not because we have nothing to play for but because of our poor performances. I know this because i am one of those who is avoiding games due to performances. The last few games however have given me hunger to come back as things are looking up.

I don't ask for us to win the league - as stated i think that'll never happen. And although i do feel theres' always a chance we could win the Challenge Cup; all i ever ask for is to go and watch Cas play their hearts out whenever i watch them. I'm sure most fans feel the same.

As I put near the top, they need to get sponsors and all TV companies in one room.

The two leagues can be funded by TV deals from Sky Sports, Premier Sports and BeIn Sports.

Challenge Cup BBC

League Cup - Sky/BBC

Would tv companies pay more than they do now ??? (Dont premier sports pay nothing for the NLs). what reason would they have to ??? The SC 300k in the championship so for a Sc of £1m to be brought in that would mean each club has to find £700k extra per season just on wages, I just can't see the sport finding that.

It's the only way the sport in this country is going to progress.

And Sky need to see that the more they invest in the sport the better it is going to become. They'll want to attract more viewers and the only way they'll do that is by getting the best players over here.

If clubs can all spend the salary cap it'll improve the quality of the game.

Agree with you but can't see them investing that much more any time soon.

well there's the chicken and egg situation for you.

If we don't get crowds we can't spend money. If we can't spend money we can't compete. If we can't compete we won't get crowds........
