Agree Workington will probably field a survival team, what this means for the future remains to be seen, to build a successful side would mean cutting rider costs and/or increased attendances.
So who is going to be in the team next year....
Roynon, Campton,Wells, Cook, Bewley, Sedgemen,Stead (!!),Masters,Wolbert,Worrall (s) Wright , Morris ........oh and another reserve...?
So many questions.
Was always on the cards, a real entertainer and crowd pleaser at Workington but his away performances were generally not too good, Peterborough apart.
Good luck for next year Kenneth.
Went last night very good crowd many came from all over the country. Good presentation , lighting and sound, even though the crowd was very big it seemed quiet, until one team scored, maybe it's the norm for rugby?
Some big changes but have there been enough?
Do not think costs have been addressed enough but we may not know yet all the changes the promoters have agreed to.
For me the TR rule should have been dumped and I cannot see the promotion and relegation working, it will certainly be interesting to see the make up of the teams in both leagues and how they compare.
With very few clubs actually breaking even and even less making a profit the money paid to riders is a big concern when money coming in from attendances does not cover all costs!!
Even a successful club like Glasgow ran at a loss, what chance for other clubs, it's a no win situation run like Redcar and break even or be successful and lose money.....
