If a club like Hull Kr need 10K crowds to BE imagine how much London must be losing in the year.

Another club suffering after people with money look to pull out, the RFL will want more people with money to come in until they get bored. The benefactor route seems to be what the RFL likes but for the sustainability of the sport we really need to make sure clubs are spending to their means.



Why bother having a salary cap if all we want are rich people coming in and pumping money in to save clubs, surely the salary cap should be based on revenue/profit with debt/other non player related outgoings taken into consideration.



I wouldn't wish what we went through last year on anybody but it's going to happen time and time again unless the people running this sport get their acts in order.



good luck KR

And Salford

Although their crowds are starting to grow, they are miles away from the numbers needed for SL.

Its one thing to cap a club based on *their* revenue, but its another to cap the whole league on the basis of the worst performers. It doesn't "level the playing field", it rewards failure and ever lowers the profile of the sport and its attractiveness to talented young athletes. Far better than a flat salary cap is a squad limit of just 13 players who can be paid more than 40k. But those 13, you can pay whatever you like if you can afford it. This makes the sport attractive - if you're REALLY good you'll get one of the 'star' berths and can make big money at the right club. It also ensures that talent must be spread around, by definiton. Finally, it forces clubs to have an extensive youth structure because you'll sure as heck need plenty backup with only 13 on 40k+.

1.5 million...

So shall we expect the Brains Trust on SL Backchat to start calling for a Hull/Hull KR groundshare or merger?

kr were offered the kc to play at when the stadium was being built, they turned it down and wont get the opprtunity again

Id go and watch west hull if that EVER happend.

Skirlaugh for me

Going by what I have heard, you should be praying city don't make the premier league next season.

here we go again!



fc have a water tight agreement to play at the kc for 25 years! nothing not even the premiership of football can alter that!

And nor would we need to. We have a decent little stadium of our own now thank you very much!!



It's taken alot of money and hard work from Rovers the council and other sources but finally Craven Park is starting to look like a proper stadium.
