I think it will depend on what the fan survey says and it will probably be voted down by the majority of clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't even be letting the clubs vote imo. They've shown time and time again that they only vote in self-interest and not for the good of the game overall. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Daddy Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) I'm trying to work out how a 2x10 structure brings the casual UK sport's fan into RL. 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 limitedĀ Edited September 28, 2022 by The Daddy 5 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.Ā 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.

ShropshireBull Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 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.
