Never good to hear that a Club has gone down. Sorry to hear it. Hopefully the Club will come back in name and for York.
I don't know the numbers / $$'s but viability is critical and getting the crowds/TV back is key by making the sport highly marketable.
The AFL in Australia is booming because they made it a social sport where to really enjoy it, you must be at the game. Regular Club games of 50-100,00 don't lie in a city of only 4 million ( Melbourne ) with multiple Clubs. RU is on it's knees in Australia, and the crowds in NRL have been diminishing for years as people watch the box and play bets. There's lessons to be learned from the successful sports in Australia, France, North America and UK.
Folks have to participate and encourage the RFL to think outside the square.
