I imagine prices will be same as this year. It will be impossible to justify raising them.

So as it was at the start...£25.00 a pop on the door? Good luck with that

Harlequins open their Gallagher account at home to Worcester later this month. £30 is the walk up price and there's not a lot of tickets left.
Trailfinders was £210.00 for their Season Ticket in the grand stand.......we were after £30 more...in enemy territory?

On the topic of Trailfinders. 2nd tier. Knocking at the door of the top flight and doing it on average gates of about 800.......I was 100% against the move there, but now it seems insanity to move.....unless that is....we are assured of a SL2 spot

Zero chance of that - the clubs are still bickering as to how they're going to change the structure. It's 'probably' going to be 2 x 10s but only because that's the idea people seem to hate least of all not because it has any great enthusiasm behind it. And even then no-one knows what's happening with the 3rd tier.

A Coventry source is saying it looks like £1.8m to be split between the Championship clubs next season and just over £200k between the League One clubs. There may not be a third tier to get relegated to.

As is widely known I was a dual Oxford/Broncos season ticket holder. A co-owner at Oxford told me one reason they pulled the plug was they thought League One would be scrapped within five years and they weren't prepared to invest the sort of sum required to turn the club around, knowing if they succeeded they'd probably be booted out before they could make their losses back.

Only problem! It seems Sky feel 2 x 10 is the only solution! they seem to be driving this, seems they are not willing to look within, how their main co commentators are two clowns! I feel this contrac5 may be the last, they are moving big into women's football, the cricket fun one day games, would we get a broadcaster willing even to match the new fee, I doubt it!

It feels a little like The Titanic! some Super League clubs will struggle next.

At least the decision to go part time, is asking questions and coverage in the media, a price to read! https://lastwordonsports.com/rugby/2021 ... part-time/

After spending a lot of money on trying to raise the Titanic, Sir Lew Grade said "it would be cheaper to lower the Atlantic". Not sure what he would make of the Broncos!

They say all publicity is good publicity but struggling to see it here.
