Seems that no long term damage was done by the pandemic at least in Superleague, so credit to all involved in running the clubs, and also to the RFL who IMO did get the big calls right during COVID.Ā But longer term we need to see some growth to compete, especially with broadcasting revenues fallimg. So now on the back of RLWC and with IMG's help I hope we'll start moving upwards again.Ā 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M j M Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) Most of the ups and downs look like theyĀ have club-specific underlying causes rather than game-wide issues which is good news I think. We all know how bad things at Warrington and Hull are, it's not surprising their fans have switched off. Leeds were still playing with reduced capacity at Headingley for a few games at the start of 2019 (although I'm not sure any were actually sold out). Wigan had two derby games this year vs two at Saints in 2019. Catalan are a bit of a concern as their crowds even excluding the Barcelona game seem a bit down generally for reasons I can't pinpoint. I mean I'd struggle to turn up if my team was coached by McNamara but I doubt that's the reason. Edited September 4, 2022 by M j M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
