I agree on 14 teams - always hated the loop/repeat fixtures.
You’re right there are probably clubs in the Championship who could bring higher gates than some SL clubs. A) that would require licensing to change which would cause uproar (although on balance there’s plenty of positives about licensing done right IMO). B) the game isn’t just about crowd sizes. Far more people watch on telly than attend games - obviously there’s a link but TV income is so important. Maybe we should be looking at ways to increase that?
Whereas there certainly are a few egomaniacs running the game which isn’t great, IMO it’s too easy to talk about better marketing as our saviour. People have been saying that literally for as long as I can remember and yet nothing changes. I suspect (with respect) that there are indeed marketing people in the game better qualified than most on here, and it’s just not as simple as some think.
Sure there are always marketing things that can and should be done, and Warrington probably lead the way.
Where I do agree is the governance of the game. We need a vision for the whole game, international to park field, rather than a vision for each competing club. How you put that cat back in the bag I’m not sure - that’s maybe where PE comes in.
