The Virtual Terrace • Poor Wembley crowd
Put the end of season back to Oct 31st
Top 30 pro clubs plus top 2:amateur. split into East and west. round 1 replaces magic and summer bash with 16 west clubs playing at Blackpool and 16 East clubs playing at Newcastle. Unseeded. (solves problem of the 'odd' fixture.) Play for decent prize money.
Further rounds normal CC but let's use the Oct 31 end to allow clubs plenty of rest weeks (and the fans a holiday). These games not being on SKY should be played on traditional weekend afternoons.
London Wembley is an outdated tradition and with folk travelling 4hours by car and coach it's a complete waste of human endeavour. Etihad stadium is having its surrounding redeveloped with hotels and restaurants - 55000 capacity will mean sell outs and a higher ticket price made affordable by easier travel which will give the RFL the revenue they need.
