Quote: SmokeyTA "Would you not think that the saturation of RL clubs in that area could be a cause for this.
If you were keeping P+R certainly. But would the bigger championship clubs be happy seeing what is effectively, initially at least, a transference from them, to the clubs at the lower reaches of championship one.
Considering the attitude of some rugby league fans, can you imagine the uproar from Fev, Fax, Leigh fans etc, seeing their club effectively subsidising oxford and Gloucestershire?'"
No, Championship Clubs are in direct competition with SL clubs, not other Championship clubs, as I said, its love of the club, not financial return
If the geographical spread of the competition helped to bring in better, bigger, more reliable sponsorship then any club owner would be stupid to not want it, ditto the fans if it isnt properly explained to them
An open mind and communication is the key, both sadly lacking by club owners and administrators
