Quote: Grimmy "In terms of competitiveness this makes good sense. However, the reserves teams are basically only supported by friends and family of the players, getting in for a fiver or less.
League 1 teams aren't well supported to begin with but taking some gates against League 1 teams and swapping them for gates against SL reserves teams will still be a fair financial hit on match day and would also presumably make them less attractive to sponsors and investors.'"
If fixtures were arranged so the super League reserve team played at home when the first team were away , it could potentially boost interest and revenue, but would depend on where the games were to be hosted I guess as might be difficult for hull FC reserves say to be able to play at the MKM
