How come only super league is allowed to start back, this is wrong, if it want for the lower league clubs there wouldn’t be a super league
SL re starting is primarily so that they dont lose their Sky monies.
Without fans, playing just becomes a cost (to all clubs) - without the fans, there doesn't seem any way of clubs generating any income, apart from some merchandise.
As a spectator driven business, unless a way can be found fairly quickly, I dont think that any club is going to survive for long, unless their owners dig very, very deep.
If you consider that League 1 & League 2 football clubs are far more wealthy than RL and they have been happy to draw a line under their season (apart from play offs). Accepted that they were much further down the track in terms of completing their season but, the point still stands.
It's going to take some clever thinking and plenty of money or miracle cure for the virus to allow RL with significant numbers of spectators.
The future of the game is far from certain.
