Out of the bad comes some good, at least injured players will have time to get fit.

James Smailes:Adam Pearson tells @bbcburnsy future of Hull FC is his priority right now, not finding a new coach. Worrying times.

Some clubs are going to seriously struggle with no gate receipts for at least two months and I would imagine it will be even longer than that.

He also said he's confident we'll be fine if we have the continued support from the sponsors and fans.

What does continued support from the fan mean if there are no games - merchandise/lottery etc?

For the whole sport... and economy and population.

On RL, I reckon the early April best case restart is unlikely to say the least.

Not demanding refunds (sponsors or fans), maybe?

Are Sky obliged to keep paying? Be interesting to know how many subscribers Sky sports is losing.

Completely agree MR. We're some time off the peak by the looks of it.

He didn't give specifics with regards to fans but Sky was mentioned and said at some point they need a product to show on TV. That wasn't just aimed at RL but all sports that rely on Sky.

My thoughts would be a deal with sky that if we play behind closed doors maybe they could give clubs a financial consideration, i mean the other night cas v saints never seen so much advertising as it was only sport aound.

Could be a great time to really grow our sport if w could get some games on.

Really diffcult times ahead

From what I hear, its the threat of sponsors pulling back their money, demanding refunds as they wont be getting TV exposure or advertising. SKY potentially pulling money due to no games to show. Its going to be a tricky few weeks.

I had a thought that if every passholder donated 20quid, then that could be upto 160k - which could be vital towards the survival of the club

we'd be better off donating 20 quid to a hardship fund for those on zero hours contracts that wont get SSP and the Self Employed. When it comes to it, sports clubs are right down towards the bottom of the priority list.
