I still don't get how you can sell season tickets when you don't know what the games are going to be.
I could buy mine expecting to be playing Wigan and Leeds and find I am watching Batley and Sheffield in the second half of season
Also, from a club's point of view, how do they budget for the second half of the season. The income is massively different if you make the 8 rather than the second 8 |

Its effectively a 22 game league season. Thats ultimately what you're buying. The second phase is when the play offs begin. Its much like what we pay for now, but I guess the extra 7 games come as part of the season ticket price. |

My greatest concern is that the RLF/ ESL will continue with the discredited nonsense that is the "Magic Weekend" as part of the initial league programme. This by its very existence distorts the league and creates an unnecessary unfairness when it really has no place in a sane league structure.
I suppose the best outcome we can hope for is that they move the "Magic Weekend" to phase 2 so each team has 3 home, 3 away and one neutral fixture. However, the common sense of that idea probably automatically excludes it from any RFL/ ESL deliberation.

If it is to remsin then thats what I would do. Start the second phase with a magic weekend. Each tier could play it at different stadiums. COM for the top, Brammel Lane for the second and say Salford for the third. |

Nothing "magical" about Div 2 & Div 3 events. Would need to intersperse div 1 & div 2 over 2 days of "magic!! weekend" and better to play Div 3 neutral round as double headers with div 1.

Personally speakin there's nothing magical about the whole weekend as it is. Its an addition fixture teams could do without. |

Extra television exposure (due to the nature of the event) for club sponsors? Percentage of ticket sales? |
