Closest to doing so is Batley who've said they'd like to enter but it depends on a number of factors, not least the small question of whether they will have enough players available.

Leigh's average gate is lower than 30% of their ground capacity. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

So, if everyone else cries off, how about a one-off kickabout between Fev and Batley with each club pocketing 125k? Seriously, less clubs = bigger share of the pot I assume. https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulwalker71 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Seems the Bulls are up for it. https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/18613280.bulls-coach-kear-disappointed-championship-stopped/ This report suggests the competition will go ahead if there are eight teams minimum (2 groups of 4), and along with the Bulls there are Batley and Barrow Perhaps only clubs beginning with a B are interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will come a time when the RFL will cancel it through lack of numbers, they should then split the prize money and give each team an equal share.

Good now't against Leigh former mining area and Hilton park had a row of terraced houses behind the sticks just like us at Fev.Must admit when they were too good for the rest of the Championship i didn't like their spoiling and niggling tactics.However they played some of the best Championship R.L. i have seen.

I’m sure the max prize has already been announced as £70k, that’s what clubs are basing it on who’ve already decided.

Bernard Sarrazain's statement on the club website, which I think pre-dates that, sounds pretty emphatic to me, especially when he says to make up for the shortfall of no TO to watch, try following the reserve team in Elite 1 from November.
