What hogwash.

A RL club is in the business of selling leisure services. This idea of yours that if every club were only run "as a proper business" then the grounds would all be full is pure nonsense. People just don't have that much leisure dollar and what there is, there's fierce competition to get. Everyone's struggling.

Richard Branson tends to run "proper businesses" and even he, before the recession, couldn't remotely begin to fill London's ground so don't give us this rubbish.

I said ' logical ' reason , thats why you didnt understand it

Exactly. Spot on.

What about doing away with the cap but keeping the 20/20 rule or whatever it is these days? or making it like a 13/20 so that clubs must play youth?

Central Planning by officials at Red Hall is not needed. Scrap the salary cap, 1 up, one down, points deduction for going into Admin and relegation to bottom league if you go bust.

Then just leave it to clubs to do whatever they think will bring them success without going bust.
