I tend to agree with you, I once had a chat with one of Hull FC’s directors just before super league, he said that a terrestrial tv deal if showing games that sky did would bring in more money through sponsorship than Sky brought. Admittedly at this time there were mainly part time players (except Wigan).

Only Bradford are really capable of drawing a crowd any better than the lower end SL clubs but, not the current mid table version. Although, they did great in the cup game v Leeds a few years back.
As for franchising. Although it was excellent as far as clubs bringing young players through, it wasn't exactly successful.

Huddersfield's crowds are completely fake and propped up by super-cheap tickets and an old man pumping £2.5m per year into the club to keep it going.

That's a shame because they play nice rugby at the moment.

At least they have an owner willing to put money in. That’s why they are 3rd whilst your team flirts with relegation whilst playing in a decrepit stadium that you can catch the plague from

Can I check - are you are Warrington fan?

Warrington who spend full cap + marquee players, who are 1 win above Wakey?

Warrington who were gifted a lovely stadium in a supermarket deal?

That Warrington?

On same number of wins, not 1 above.
And possibly 1 below after tomorrow.

How funny would that be???

I'm not going to argue your entitled to your opinion but with a little success I see us and Wakey dwarfing your support, thing is jools kens wallet is or should get you to some big games, one thing is for sure whatever final you get to will see an almost empty stand and that won't improve, kens wallet doesn't buy that.

They're a Saints fan.

I had that at the back of my mind, but just couldn't understand the username.
