Mr Plow Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Made a good point about exploiting markets and how between Manchester and Leeds there is a massive RL market. Also made interesting points about York and their potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man of Kent Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Found it fascinating to hear two outsiders (yet people who know what they are talking about) say, in essence, that British RL should concentrate on the M62. Sometimes I feel there’s a sense among some fans that the North is somehow a saturated or exhausted market and therefore we should expand at all costs but I don’t think it is. If we had a really strong yet predominately Northern-based Super League, is that such a bad thing if it attracts more viewers, sponsors, investors etc?

Chamey Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Very interesting, just listening to it now. An outsiders perspective is fascinating. Comments from the former Harlequins RU boss about Harlequins RL was something for Broncos bashers to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odsal Outlaw Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Thought it was one of the best RL podcasts I’ve heard in a while, really interesting and informative and made some good points on the need to strengthen the heartlands whilst recognising there is a role for expansion.

We should be selling out stadia in Yorkshire first, then the North West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although somewhat anti-expansionist on one hand, on the other it implied there should be less clubs, and more strategically located clubs, in the north. In other words, not two clubs in Hull, Bradford should be in for sure, and probably not room for both Cas & Wakefield. So lots to think about for everyone.
