RFL statement
The Betfred Championship and League 1 seasons will not resume in 2020 – this follows the Government announcement last week identifying October as the earliest opportunity for the return of crowds to sport, and the finding of a survey of Betfred Championship and League 1 clubs that a majority in each competition would not support playing matches Behind Closed Doors. Again, the issue of protecting the solvency of clubs informed this decision.

The Betfred Championship and League 1 clubs will be invited to play in a competition this autumn, with a theme of celebrating the sport’s 125th anniversary – and with a prize pot of £250,000, thanks in part to financial support from the Betfred Super League clubs. Further details of this competition will follow this week – it will be voluntary, and there will be a detailed application process requiring clubs to prove their ability to meet the necessary protocols and medical standards. There will be no automatic promotion to the Betfred Super League from this competition

No, neither can I to be honest.

It's impossible to even try to guess just what the finances of running Odsal will be, though we were told it was totally unsustainable just over 12 months back and I really don't have a clue just how much the stocks/speedway input will add to the overall position.

As for the streaming service, I've only seen a couple of games from previous seasons and the quality from ourleague was actually pretty good, obviously not as good as being there, but it is what it is for the forseeable. I'm not really one to be too pessimistic but I'm coming to the conclusion that we'll probably see more games streamed than at the ground. Even when fans are allowed I can't see it being, in any way, 'normal'.

TBH I'm more likely to buy a streaming package for the NRL.

They usually video the game with copies for both Team Coachs and of course the RFL Disciplinary Committee and also the Refs Management. If live streaming is not a viable option a replay on the Bulls Tv should be doable.

I remember someone saying we are lining up a championship centre and I see Menzie Yere isn't at Sheffield anymore. I know he's getting on abit but he's always played well against us and would be awesome inside any of our wingers

The problem I see with streaming is that you really need to tie in the customer with a package so the money is guaranteed. If it is per game people will gett out of the habbit of going to games and then they will also get into the habbit of not paying for a game and then all of a sudden you have lost them completely. Once they decide not to pay for a game and that game turned out to be a poor one they think twice about paying again. A season ticket streaming price would be better all round.
