ok then you try running a full time club on sub 3000 crowds with a lack of tv money and without a sugar daddy owner. but relax everyone it will never happen, there will always be well run clubs and badly run clubs. show me any league in any country that is fully sustainable

There's nothing wrong with a mix of full-time and part-time clubs in the championship (its done batley no harm) but the long term aim has to be a fully full-time comp.
Let clubs find there own level. If Toronto & tolouse are serious then we'll see two more FT teams in the league soon enough. Then it'll be up to the likes of Newcastle to kick on and replace established clubs

| Not all businesses can be an Apple, BP, Shell etc
We need responsible management which if I'm not mistaken was the purpose of the franchising system. Sadly the selfish money men chairmen in SL got there way and the sport is now back on the edge.

Bradford went into admin in a poorly run franchised SL. Done properly franchising would work. The cap should always be a % of income rather than a set amount. This rewards clubs who market and run their business well.

| Sky is to blame for some of this. Why out bid premier sports to buy the rights when there was no interest in showing the games at all. Meaning no tv funding apart from if you reach the top 4.
when premier sports had the rights we had a game each week.
Not sure how Toronto have got away with having there own tv deal with them as surely there should be stuck with sky as well ?

Properly done franchising would see only 1 SL club in Hull

When Premier sports had the rights we did see 1 game per week , on a thursday which usually badly affected the travelling support , and no money was paid to the clubs
I doubt Toronto will be receiving much if anything from Premier Sports for their broadcasts in the UK

Not necessarily true. It would all depend on where the RFL want to base those franchises. While it would probably negitavley effect my club, I can see the benefits for the top flight game in the UK.

Bradford would still have failed , their issue isn't income , it is expenses primarily tied to playing at Odsal

If they were only allowed to spend a % of income, they wouldn't have been in as much of a mess as they are now.
