The issue with crowds is that it inevitably takes valuable resources away from the medical world. You need at minimum St. John's Ambulance plus two team Doctors just to get a game on and that's before you start seriously resourcing for a crowd in the 000s/0000s. In the (admittedly unlikely) event that either a player gets seriously injured or (highly unlikely) there is an incident of some sort in the crowd, that's ambulances etc. that are being taken away from an already stretched NHS.

If there is scope to get a game on, I think the solution should be stream all (non-SKY) games online. Season ticket holders get free access - all clubs have databases' of ST holders these days, so shouldn't be that hard - and everyone else can buy access for £10/20 a game or similar. You ask those watching to donate an extra £5 or £10 that they might have spent on a programme or food and drink. For many reasons it is not going to generate the same revenue as a fixture played with open doors, but at least some revenue could be generated and the game kept moving forward.

I think some of the better played players in the sport need to consider deferring portions of their salary until later in the year or their contract - James Graham seems to be making similar noises in the NRL about this.

If there is any club Rugby League played in this country in 2020, I'll eat my proverbial hat.

So with Leeds games in hand and superior points difference will they be crowned as champions ?

No

A double whammy if your a united fan as well
