Just checked my own sums there......10 lge games + 1 Play Off, 2 NRC group games + 1 knock out, 1 Chall.Cup and 2 PSF's = 17 games.............aprox 35,000 - 40,000 fans per season including concessions, freebies etc.......how can you seriously run a professional sport on that sort of income ??

You can't

But being in SL would make those figures even worse

We have a fragmented season were at time's we go week's (seem's like months) with just the odd game which can be switched at a moments notice for TV or any variety of reasons these day's...........basically clubs are just guaranteed 12 game's in a year, the rest is down to who you fix up to play you in PSF's and luck in cup draws then hope your good enough to get a placing high enough for a home play off game or 2 (not talking Leigh here of course ! lol )........ Submit this as a business plan you'd be shown the door very quickly and laughed out the bank.

Latics and Blackburn (and Blackpool this season) are the poorer supported clubs and they still dwarf anything that most other clubs in RL gets - again with or without P&R, and paying more to get in too.
As for the expansion clubs - if you want the game to grow and the number of people playing and watching the game to grow together with looking more attractive for getting outside sponsors and investors then too right I support this.

Blackburn give away tickets and still cant get 18K home fans!! Sport in general is struggling in the UK. Taking away the dream in RL is not doing ANYBODY any favours!!
