Changing the concept back to what it should be, what's that then.

Promotion relegation was tried and tried and decided did not work.
Premierships after the normal season, crowds were not interested
Franchise system was a failure
We have had several versions of a play off system
Tried playing teams 3 times to give the required home game numbers... boring

The worrying thing for me is this quote.

" We don’t believe the Super 8s work,” said McManus. “We do not believe it is producing the right commercial returns. We have to conclude a new structure to put in place for next year.”

So they have decided to scrap the present system with no thoughts on what to replace it with and we wonder why the game is suffering.

Definitely a year in the South Stand seats for us next year. The terrace this year has been horrendous. Not because of the building work but because of the amount of idiots. Throwing pints on Wednesday. Someone threw a bottle from the back downwards on Friday.

Western or Carnegie?

Same for me, although I suspect the seating area will be sold out pretty quick. So might not be so easy to obtain decent seats. Like an ejit I gave up two cracking seats in the north stand, purely because I did not like Friday night games ,at that time it was pre super league. The majority of games were Sunday afternoon , used enjoy a few beers before and after the game.

anyone who thinks the changes are not about money and money alone should watch this weeks backchat.greed.

No need to watch back chat there have been plenty of articles this week that back your point. Pure greed and desperation.
