Super league is really struggling at present
With Salford getting a crowd of less than 2,500 I think saying super league is really struggling is an understatement, in reality its dying, its becoming a minority sport in the UK and it hurts to say this. In fact women's netball (no disrespect to women) have crowds nearly as high as what Salford, Huddersfield and London achieve. To try and defend this once great game becoming harder and harder to do. You look at the egoistic chairman of these clubs, knowingly surviving on the Sky money of £2M per club and you now know why this sport isn't getting any better. It will not be long before Sky pull the plug on sponsorship, and how many clubs will go to the wall. If Salford are getting crowds of less than 2500 why should Sky pay them £2m when their own supporters cannot even support them. Its time Super League and the farts who work there took the finger from their backsides and started to spend money in the UK and try to market this game. If that means teams like Salford, Huddersfield, and some others are removed and replaced with teams with some supporters, have a go at me if you wish, but simply to try and defend crowds of less than 2500 when its indefensible, you don't deserve a super league team. The league needs to be expanded to 14 teams so everyone plays each other home and away, and if you want promotion and relegation the scrap the cap on salaries, if you want the cap then franchise the sport. Candidly the sport is in a right mess and all the clubs with no money are making all the decisions. no wonder we are going downhill.
