How does it promote a more geographically diverse sport? It just seems like as long as individual clubs can decide the destiny and strategic direction of the whole sport, opportunities for growth and change are going to be limited Geographically diverse.....fair enough but focus on new areas and not ones where the experiment has been an abject failure in the past. If not the clubs, who should decide? A company whose only interest is to make money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree in terms of making money. However, it doesn't make them best placed to make decisions in the overall best interests of the game. Their own profit will always come first.

It is, but the objective isn't to make money at any costs. It has constraints. Otherwise, we could see RL and RU reunify for example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are out of the equation and may well not exist in a year or two. However, if you really want to talk about the past? How many titles? Challenge Cup wins? The actual point was that we've tried to spread the game previously.....great, I'm on board with that. However, in certain locations it just hasn't worked. Therefore, perhaps if 'forcing' a more geographical diverse competition (not earned on the the pitch) we should look to new places. Please feel free to discuss.

Roughyed Rats Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 3 minutes ago, ShropshireBull said: Oldham are in many ways a perfect example with the problem our game has. A club who really should be chugging along nicely at champ level pulling in 1500 and a nice holding pen and pathway for players is, because of a lack of infrastructure in terms of even a modest 3k stadium (like Rochdale), basically on life support. Whilst certainly symptomatic, the Oldham situation has it's own unique problem lets just say!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DI Keith Fowler Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Think Super League as a brand will go. They're talking of re-branding and avoiding using the "Super League" name instead saying "top division". I was born to run a club like this. Number 1, I do not spook easily, and those who think I do, are wasting their time, with their surprise attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
