Quote: SmokeyTA "But Jeopardy?'"
Attendances have been falling since we wrapped relegation so, really jeopardy did work.
Relegation will sort out attendances for bottom teams in the long run as they will have something to play for. One of the worst things the RFL did was introduce a too 8 play-off system. IMHO this really has hurt the intensity if SL.
The attendances are alarming. But hey Nigel Woods "innovative" idea for next year will bring the crowds flocking back.
IMO all that will happen is we will get the same 8 in SL 1, the same 8 middle tier, then the championship clubs struggling to compete with SL because of the different in salary cap. Maybe a championship team may cause a shock in the "one off game" final between 4th and 5th.
But the above attendances are pitiful.
