Everyone I've spoken to thinks we were one of the 3 Clubs who opposed 2 x home and away. Oxford and Berwick due to NDL. The most popular logic seems to be that Nigel thinks its more financially sensible to ride minimum of 11 Home and Away as opposed to minimum of 17 Home and Away. So the question is have (a) Owners reduced the Rent (b) Nigel decided he can lose LESS with less meetings and more quality over quantity. He'll certainly have to fork out less for AWAY points and travel and that aspect is often overlooked, ignored ot some simply don't understand that Home matches have to pay for Away too. I am 100% sure personally that the Rent will be the same and he's calculated that (b) is the better option to reduce losses and move towrds break even. There is also rumour of a further silent partner pumping significant money in, not sure if that's true or not but he does have friends in the Sport known to have some financial clout. Your are certainly the go-to man for a rumour. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
