| I winder what the fans of the "big" clubs are saying ?
Tbf, cutting the league from 16 to 14 to 12 has done nothing to improve quality and where do we go after it's been cut again, down to 10 ?
Let's face it, the only reason for reducing the numbers is to allow those in SL to maintain a similar level of funding from Sky, with a reduced pot. The so called "driving up quality" is a smoke screen.
The million dollar question is just how we make the game more appealing to those outside the heartlands and to more people inside the heartlands.
There are no quick fixes or silver bullets and there needs to be a long term plan for growth across all areas of the game, from junior, community and right up to the pro game.
Hopefully, the success of Channel 4 this season, shows that with a bit of a revamp, the game can at least gain some TV viewers, which should help to increase TV monies.

| I hear that some SL clubs are looking to bring in local acting coaches to allow players to brush up on their theatrics.

| Quote: Trojan Horse "That was a terrible game I thought.
Two poor disciplined teams. Low in quality play and poor inconsistent officiating with lack of control. Made for a poor game.'"
Agree it wasn't great to watch - and it seemed to last hours - I'm sure it was around 10 o'clock before the game finished ! For what it's worth I thought Child did pretty well controlling the game - lot of players out there who weren't that interested in playing RL !

| Done mine, it was more like a dissertation than a survey answer but essentially, 14 team comp, sacrosanct annual domestic and international representative programme, huge investment in relaunching schools & community game

| Sounds like most - if not all - of us have said the same thing.
Let's hope IMG take it onboard - but I suspect they won't and have already decided what they are going to do.

You would think unless the survey is a landslide in favour of a format that they have already pre decided as you say. Probably an element of lip service but they will have a strong idea of the direction they wish to go in.
