Come on, a reality check is needed. If the bulls liquidate and they manage to start a new club in the championship theres no way they'll be getting 10k.

-They will lose thousands of fans who have been dissalusioned with the whole debacle
- They have dirt cheap season tickets at the moment. So fans will end up having to pay more for championship rugby. That will shave a few k off.
- Then you have fans that will feel no affiliation with the 'newco' as it will be seen as a different entity.
-What stadium will they be playing at? if it's not odsal that could affect it as well, remember their attendances dropped when they moved to valley parade and they were good then.

All in all you could expect to half that figure.

For better or worse, we've moved our elite competition to Sky Sports. To say that we have took it away from the masses, however, is a little hysterical. People with more than a passing interest in sport nowadays will have a subscription to Sky Sports. If they still choose not to watch RL, then that's down to their indifference, not the act of "selling our soul".

And before people start crying poverty, and saying they can't afford to watch the rugby anymore; if you really can't afford the fifty quid or so a month to watch what you claim is a sport you are passionate about, then watching rugby is probably the least of your problems.

or go the pub

Sounds like a plan. Mine's a pint!

You are wrong.

AFAIK the Championship clubs only received SKY money during one of the seasons when SKY broadcast their games. This was not a share of the SL cash.
