in what way aren’t they vibrant competitions worth winning in their own right?

Ask google.

Perhaps when attendances are dipping below 1,000 and clubs are selling their souls to avoid relegation to an amatuer league of death ?

It was Mr Wood that suggested they weren't back in 2008 , and that it was his intention to make them so , so please tell me what he and the RFL have done to achieve this ' Nirvana ' ?

I disagree with your premise. I think the Championships are a vibrant competition and they are worth winning in their own right.

How did it go, that 5 year plan? Did they deliver? If so, was it a good plan?

You attend games ?

So ' Vibrant ' the clubs have voted to move their finals to Halifax and Leigh as opposed to higher profile neutral venues ?

Are they any more ' Vibrant and worth winning ' than they were in 2008 ? , when Mr Wood suggested they needed to become so ? , and if they are how ?

So you dont already know? Which would mean that you were simply complaining for the sake of complaining.

What is your objective criteria for vibrancy and how are you measuring the worth of winning?

Have clubs increased attendances and income streams via increased attendances and sponsorship ?

Im not sure that i would agree. But on the point about attendances and sponsorship, im not sure about the sponsorship, from memory it is higher than 2008.

As for attendances, no they arent as high as they were back then, but the vast majority of that drop is down to the fact SL has expanded and the two (by a fair old way) best supported sides have moved up, and 4 less well supported teams have been promoted, which of course would bring down the average.

Which sponsorship do you refer to ? , the Co oP to the makers of ' frosty jack mega strong Cider ' ?

SKY obviously dont agree with you as they dumped the TV coverage during that time , Yes we lost Salford , but i was reffering to the last five years since , and yes Widnes despite their on pitch failure were the best supported club , however they still didn't make up the differences presently being seen

And as I said , Mr wood said he wanted the Championships to BECOME ' Vibrant and worth winning ' , and again I ask , what has he and the RFL actually done to achieve that ?

And again , do you attend Championship matches ?
