1,441. Is that a satisfactory attendance at a home game for the only rugby league club in the biggest city in the UK?

What kind of extra advertising was done for this match, given its relocation to Adams Park, by the Zimbabwean cricketer turned CEO Gus McKay?

How many of those attending were Bradford fans?

Isn't it time that London Broncos owner David Hughes fired those members of his administrative staff, be they English or Zimbabwean, who aren't performing at a professional level worthy of Super League?

Are you suggesting that rugby league is dead in Britain?

And why do you need to use foul language? Leave that to the rugby union and football fans.

No, i dont believe rl will ever die in Britain.
There will always be 5 or 6 clubs doing the business and another 5 or 6 clubs tiring themselves out just trying to keep up.
Then more importantly we've still got plenty strong and vibrant amateur clubs to go watch

Their lowest home attendance during the SL era?

Maybe so. And every man & his dog knows the reason is that the Cas fans aren't bothered about the league games. They know all they have to do is win a couple of games, scrape into the top 8, then they can go on and win the Grand Final and be Champions.

I agree, the SL structure is broken. Perhaps the Cas fans interest in SL could be reinvigorated by the reintroduction of P&R which would provide them with meaningful fixtures again?

Agreed. Cas's season is now over, do the RFL really think fans are going to turn up to watch what are nothing more than friendlies?

The sport currently has no direction, are we still doing licensing (which is a farce) or is SL a 100 % closed shop. Massive changes aren't needed. Just bring back P&R and reduce play-offs to 6.

The license system has set the sport back.

Totally agree.

12 teams, P+R, 5 team playoffs. Sorry, but it just has to go back that way, there have got to be ways of the relegated team being looked after and the promoted team given a chance, staggered seasons so the promoted team get a month extra to prepare for SL for a start would help.

The gap between the SL and the Championship is too wide to bridge now, they really have stuffed it up , I really dont know the answer, and unfortunatly neither do the RFL

Congratulations Mr Wood a014.gif

I'd go with a return to P&R but give the promoted team an exemption from relegation in their first year. A 2 year stay in SL gives the promoted club a chance to sign decent players on 2 year deals and not just the has-been's after a 1 year pension. Gives the best of both the licence and P&R systems, and it worked well for Catalan, who went from strength to strength after their difficult first year.
