The switch to winter rugby that some fans have been wanting! Can't wait to see a big increase in crowds
If you think that that people are going to flock in droves to watch Winter Rugby when more of the the new generation of supporters have been conditioned to watching games in the nicer weather of the Summer, you are living in a dream world.
As a older supporter, who spent most of the seasons watching the game played in the terrible Winter conditions like rain, smow, fog, freezing cold and players covered in mud, do I ever want the game to return to Winter just to suit a minority, some of whom I suspect have never experienced the realities of Winter Rugby.
Supporters already complain about games being played in February which more often than not the worse month of the year.
And what about the problems about ground sharing by clubs like Huddersfield, Hull, Leeds, Salford and Wigan or the the clubs who have the reserve and youth teams teams of football clubs playing at their grounds.
Even Rugby Union are considering a switch to Summer Rugby.
p.s. If it is any consolation, supporters might welcome it this year as a one off, because of the virus situation!
