Home team keeps all revenue from league games (since late 70s, before that there was I believe a levy taken from gate receipts paid to the RFL which was shared out between the clubs and RFL - 'big' clubs objected so it was changed, same old......). Shared gate games eg cup, gate takings shared after home team have deducted expenses (cost of stewarding etc).

Of course it's not guaranteed and has been stated to be subject to the Championship club meeting 'criteria'. You can, of course, also guarantee that those criteria will not apply to the existing incumbents.......

Problem is the 'plan' they have come up with is simply going back in time around 10 years. Then, the same system was ditched because it didn't work. Clearly there are some with influence who have short memories........

Indeed, the so-called 'yo-yo' syndrome.

To be honest, I'm coming to the conclusion that we'll never find a total solution, at least not a 'perfect' one. Maybe we need to just find which system has the fewest flaws and accept that? These days we do seem to jump from one thing to another without giving the 'latest wheeze' a long enough go to find out if it will work long term.

The big problem is the number of clubs. We simply don't have enough for three divisions and I'd vote for going back to two divisions for the pro/semi-pro clubs and leave the current div3 (champ1) for the expansion clubs. With around 14 to 16 clubs in the first and second divisions. This would leave room for any new Toronto type newcomers who come ready formed with fully pro operations. It would mean a re-jigging of the play-offs and cup comps, of course.
