I took it to mean that the bottom 4 from superleague will get only 3 home games in playoffs and 4 away games.it doesn't neccassaryily mean that they'll be playing all the championship teams away from home.
All clubs will get either a guArenteed 14 or 15 home games per season depending on finishing position.
So similar to now ( including the playoffs) so not overly long.

Yeah, I think you're correct.

Can we expect and increase in crowds in SL2?

Can we expect a decrease???


Measuring crowds would be tricky given that some teams will have more home games than others. But in the end I suppose you could take an average per game. Assuming you can get anyone to agree what a fair average is.

Look to the RLWC threads to see a debate about averages.

Attendances for the top Championship sides should rocket !

really?

So how many games will clubs play in a league season?

SL top 8 32 if they reach GF and mid 8 30 games all up?

I can see the income of the bottom 4 SL clubs nose diving with games being played at championship clubs and presumably a pay at the gate and shared basis.

Season ticket prices will need to be cheaper as they will only be selling 11 home SL games

Great idea RFL, I suppose its one way of whittling down to SL to probably ten teams left standing within a couple of years.

I don't understand why people presume STs would be sold only for the first 11 home games (before the split). Currently season tickets are for 13 games. They could be similarly priced and count for either 13 or 14 games, with only the PO semi finals and Grand Finals/promotion qualifier being extra paid games. You'd hope so anyway, if fans are asked to pay extra for 3/4 extra games before the POs then the attendances will be similar to what they currently are in the early weeks of the top 8 POs, even in the top tier IMO.

Had another read and I am still trying to figure out how the mid 8 games work in terms of home and away fixtures. Anybody cast any light on how many home games against SL and how many home games agains championship clubs SL clubs will have?

It's 7 games so how many of them are at home for Sl clubs and how many of those home games are against other SL clubs?

The SL clubs dropping into the middle 8 will have 3 home games. Probably 2 against SL clubs and 1 against a Champs club

after reading all the fans comments on hear about the new set up it looks like half understand and half do not half like and half hate it, so lets have 12 teams in each and P/R at the end of the season because in a year or 2 that's what will happen when the crowds fall, has fans give up on it

That's what we are having, only the P&R is not automatic, it depends on the playoffs
