No thanks.. leave that waste of time and finance to the SL boys and concentrate on something a bit more viable.. such as subsidised travel for away fans that would help to provide atmosphere.'"
Subsidised travel! Haha. Good one! Let's get the RFL to spend loads of money on coaches for away fans who are too cheap to put their hands in their pockets but then complain that crowds are rubbish whilst sat at home.
For the same amount of money, they could be marketing the game in the area to HOME fans and getting double the numbers AND get some new fans.
Why do so many RL fans want something for nothing?!

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing

| Why are people obsessed with 'Magic Weekends'? I'd go if Sheffield were in it, but I probably wouldn't watch any of the other games. Similarly, how many 'neutrals' would turn out to this when most of them can't be bothered for Challenge Cup matches because they have to pay an extra couple of quid?

Quite correct HL, 2 games is about the limit most would watch, and even then it usually when something fairly serious ( GF / promotion ) is at stake
But of course we should all want to be like SDL fans
Totally daft idea

It's more meaningful fixtures in a structured fixture list without weekends off that Championship 1 requires not one or two day gimmicks which would fail to get the support where-ever it was held. If you have ever been to the Championship play-offs you will have noticed how the crowd goes up and down for each final as fans come and go from the pubs to see their own team play.

Does it matter if they come and go? Have they all paid for a ticket? Are you suggesting the Championship GF day should be seperate from Championship 1?

No he's suggesting you could hold a multi match magic type event for Championship clubs in a 3,000 capacity stadium

What do you mean? Like when SL clubs wait for their annual wad of cash from Sky to stop them going out of business.

Are we given a "wad of cash", or do we sell the broadcast rights to our competition in exchange for it like every other elite competition in sport tries to?
It's not something for nothing. Its a revenue stream just like any other. Get over it.

I'd say 400 was a tad optimistic , and SL fans tend to care little about watching lower tier RL unless its free on the TV , so 3,000 would be ample
