Quote: pmarrow "To postpone the season something would have to be sacrificed. Maybe the challenge cup should sit out this year and return in 2021, or scrap the ashes.'"

I think Magic will get cancelled and other fixtures will be allowed to be played on CC weekend that with some other re-jigging will mean the season only extends by a couple of weeks, all fixtures still fixed with just the missed fixtures moved in the the afore mentioned gaps.
As an aside, I'm the chairman of a community club, it cost us around £1k a month even if we don't open the doors and have no matches. Hopefully there is going to be some help for us, at this time I've not had any correspondence/communication directly to our club from the governing body, I hope we are not just an after thought as the community game is specifically mentioned in the RFL announcement. icon_eek.gif

Right decision but absoutely zero chance of getting games on by April 3rd.
Its goin to be months rather than weeks. Who knows what impact this will have on the sport.

Superleague sides need the income let alone Champ and L1 sides. Woorying times ahead i fear

just under 10 weeks to Magic, but in the grand scheme of things, it is only a hobby.

Scrap the loop fixtures and job done.

Doubt clubs will like losing the income from 3 home games though

In the Super League’s position, I’d do the following:
We’re going to need to plan for a shorter season. That much is blatantly obvious.
Firstly, scrap the Challenge Cup. No club relies on income from this competition for survival (every year, some clubs go out of the cup after one away game, so it provides no income).
Secondly, curtail this season by removing loop fixtures. Draft a new fixture list that takes into account the games played so far and then comprises of finishing the season at the point all teams have played each other at home and away (so 22 games in total).
All clubs will lose three home games. However, ALL gate receipts from ALL games should be divided equally amongst the 12 clubs so that this does not disproportionality impact on some clubs. The few richer clubs with higher attendance might squeal a bit. But they need to realise that if this doesn’t happen, we’ll be left with only a handful of clubs and they will have nobody to play against. We also need to split the gate receipts from any play-off series and the grand final between all 12 clubs.

That could be mitigated by dividing all gate receipts for the rest of the season between the twelve clubs. Including ticket sales from any play-off games and the Grand Final.

I remember when your club played Saints at home in the cup, on TV and it was almost packed out(I nearly said a sell out) yet the attendance was given out at somewhere in the region of five and a half thousand, I wondered at the time it that helped pay for Zak Hardaker's transfer.

Maybe they deducted the St Helens supporters who left at half time?
Joking aside, I didn’t think gate receipts were split until the semi-final stage, but I could be wrong on that one.
It wouldn’t be difficult for the RFL to assume responsibility for all ticket sales if they think this could be an issue. They already sell tickets for other games so they have the platform to do it. They could even set up e-tickets for those who choose to attend on the day, they don’t need to go through the associated costs of printing and posting tickets.

Sensible idea but, I' dont think that the virus will be clear in time to allow even the reduced fixture list.

Although it will still cause severe pain (I dont think that there is a solution that wont), perhaps we should let the thing clear and then continue the season, maybe with out the loop fixtures) and then have a shorter off season and then go again next season, the start of which could be moved back by how ever many weeks are necessary.
Alternatively, when we are up and running again, play games every 5/6 days instead of 7, which, again, will allow the fixtures to catch up.
