They couldn't manage spending the money they got from Sky as it was. How is this going to work? Less money?

Oh my god ..................... i've just realized. The "fans" may have to pay a realistic price to watch the Bulls (which in my view is actually only what they're paying now) instead of the "bums on seats let's go bust" price that they have been charging them.

Cretins. All of them.

Yes but these are ' mega rich ' people , they are paying £ 150 K for an ' iconic , world famous ' RL club , that should go a long way with debts of up to a million a year

Yawn...................
Had enough of the whole sorry affair and all the other laughable bits that have come up since. The RFL/Sky spin- doctors must be in overdrive now -another success for SL and the franchising system.Looks like Fev are now the latest to be strung along -with us and Leigh- as they have been given asurances they won't have to link to a SL club the latest news. So Fev you can get your stadium sorted, sort out your own junior section and then apply to give our franchise system some credibility before we find another reason not to let you in to our closed shop quango. Sound familiar Fax/Leigh fans?
Yawn.........................
PS good luck to all clubs in Champioship play off's-should be a cracking competition this time.Fax will have to be at their best to get to the final this time!

I class Barrow, Haven, Town, Leigh, Oldham, Rochdale, Fax, Fev, Batley, Sheffield, Keighley, Dewsbury and Swinton as a good break away comp. The SL tie ups will only be of interest to the dead clubs of Hunslet, York, Gateshead, Skolars, South and North Wales and the new boys in C1.

Break away, and do it now - they are fooked if we do. If my club accepts a tie up then I have walked from the game. We must force change together.

In that way that they are not going to have a five team league.

Just about enough teams to fill up with their reserves

We had a six team Reserve Grade this season.

Not sure that the RFL would get round it if there was a breakaway.

Not that there'll be one, obviously. The clubs couldn't afford it.

Can you explain how clubs can afford to survive on gates of 4,5,600 or less in some cases,
Very little commercial income, a dozen or so fixtures at home per season, no prize money ?

No. That's why there'll be no breakaway.

I think MM is alluding to the fact that those clubs get cack all as it is now, ergo they'll lose cack all if they breakaway. Kapish?
