Quote: Quadrivium "No it isn`t - At club level the grounds are poor and the clubs are even more in debt than RL outfits ...'"
TOP flight clubs may be in debt however, the off field structure and club mentality is leaps and bounds ahead of RL, Their youth development/retention is years ahead of RL, turning professional was a bad move in many ways for RU in the top flight but for lower teams who work like RU was before the change i think you'll find most are very much in the green financially.
so i think 'yed has got it spot on.
