Who is paying for this? Considering there is now no guarantee whatsoever that they could stay in SL or grow to SL, who is investing the tens of millions needed to expand a stadium or build a new one?

You are now suggesting that an brand new RL Club moves in with a non-league football side and builds them a new stadium. Why dont you just admit you dont want new RL clubs to be a success because if they are, Your club has less of a chance to be so. You want to be a medium sized fish in a small pond because you dont have the ambition or even belief you could swim with big fishes.

How we set up our amateur clubs where we play for fun, is entirely different to how we set up our pro clubs. Even a 3 year old would know that.

You do talk some complete garbage at times , you contradict youself so many times its ridiculous, I am suggesting a way to get new clubs up and running, you construe that as me wanting them to fail

The discussion of stadium capacities and new clubs is honestly beside the point. You cannot simply 'drop in' a new club to an area with no RL pedigree and expect to see it work. There needs to be 5-10 years of hard work in building an amateur base, knowledge of the sport and a public willing to support a team as more than just a fad.

First of all, the RFL needs to engage with rugby clubs across the country. Many Union clubs sit doing nothing for the summer - a short, summer, amateur season could well appeal to them as a way to keep kids & players turning up and the bar money ticking over. The RFL should be offering coaching & reffing courses, as well as large regional end-of-season tournaments for the kids. Get them playing RL, get them over the idea that 'it's not proper rugby', and open up a significantly larger playing pool to RL.

Second, identify areas with the greatest potential for success in terms of amateur scene development & largest catchment, for trial games to whet the public's appetite for RL.

Ideally this would take the form of an England international as part of a home-nations series similar to the 6N. Given the crowd in Bristol for the Cookies game at the WC, England v Wales in Bristol could sell out Ashton Gate easily.

This to be followed up by the designation of the venue city as an 'on the road' venue. Preferably given an exciting title. One extra round of fixtures to be played in the venue, local derbies preferably, so the city has a 'home' game every week. Season tickets available cheaply, with money raised going to fund local RL. Constant marketing support for local amateur sides, and a 'Rugby League Shop' in the town centre selling SL club & England merchandise.

This to be followed up with the entry of a franchise into the Championship, and then (if things work out) SL.

North Wales Crusaders?

The outside investment will only come for SL

So now you are a mind reader? , I want all clubs to prosper, and those that prosper most to get their rewards for that

So you suggest they could look to a larger venue or expansion but you arent suggesting they expand the stadium or move to a new one?

once again, who pays for this?

Im not a mind reader, its just obvious that that is your standpoint. You want clubs to prosper, so long as they prosper in a in a system and a set up which is heavily biased towards heartland clubs, so long as they jump through meaningless hoops which make it infinitely more difficult for them to prosper and so long as they do so in a destructive and unstable system.

When you want to make it so difficult, as nigh on impossible for a club to reach the top, you may as well simply admit that you dont want them to reach the top (and yes i know im talking only about SL, but that is the context in which we are speaking so stop trying to hide behind that. Its not as clever as you think and no-one is falling for it)

Good point
