| Quote: wrencat1873 "Whether clubs should rely on away numbers is not really the issue.
It's the "hit" that each club in the Championship will take, both on their income and expenditure.
I know that you can understand this but, you appear not to want to acknowledge the fact.
I've said on many other threads that it's great to have some of the expansion clubs on board BUT if, all we are doing is increasing costs, without getting some additional revenue, we are, largely, wasting our time.
However, IF there is significantly more income from sponsorship, say from French / Canadian TV or advertising then great, lets fill our collective boots.
Personally, we should have Toronto and possibly Toulouse in SL, where clubs are better placed to stand the additional costs and we should be re-negotiating the TV deal to reflect the greater "draw" of these clubs.
However, the current structure, which is certainly to remain, for now, doesn't really allow for this.'"
How about clubs stop feeling sorry for themselves, stop relying on away fans/handouts, and go out and market their club & it's home matches properly, generate new revenue streams & even encourage new investment at board level.
There's a reason these clubs have been bobbing around with their heads just above water for so long, and that's because they're plodding along just as they have done for decades, relying on the same old fans & the same old sponsors.
RL has to rid itself of these attitudes and try and progress forward otherwise before too long, Sky will stop caring and we'll be left with nothing. If there are a few casualties along the way (and I hope there isn't) then so be it.

| They brought back relegation in 2014. Quite the opposite of what is being alluded to.

Put like that, it sounds so simple.
Unfortunately, RL spends too much time with gimmicks (sorry, being innovative ) and the sport seems wholly incapable of making any decent long term decisions.
People are starting to get used to the 3 x 8 system but, it wont allow the "expansion" clubs to flourish so, we may well end up with another change ??
It's mickey poor that only 3 years ago, before the new structure was implemented, that NOBODY at the RFL could see the problem on the horizon.
We want to be everything to everybody, instead of working out the best way to take the sport forward and then getting on with it.
Where do we want to be in 5 years, 10 years and 20 years time ?
Right now, we will either get lucky and have some success with the North American "experiment and miraculously start to attract some major sponsors into the game, although it would be akin to throwing 6 double sixes in a row or, despite trying to expand, we risk shrinking the professional game in the UK still further.
Are we hoping that if/when Toronto make it into SL, suddenly it will allow us to harvest the money tree because, in terms of added value and cash contribution, it's really unclear just what they will bring to the game.

| And perhaps French tv might make more of an effort.

Agreed.
If your stadium holds 10k then you should be looking to sell 10,000 seats to locals and for the RFL to force you to release a % of seats for away fans. The Income of a club is 100% that clubs responsibility.....be that from gate receipts, sponsorship or central revenue income that is determined by their finishing spot in the comp....away fans and their revenue are the icing on the cake.
Whinging about away fans is nothing more than fear/jealously/resentment of another side than anything else....

Good post.
For me the RFL's obsession with planting English teams in far away places is quite laughable, I can only imagine it is also quite laughable for anyone on the outside looking in.
