[QUOTE="Arcturus, post: 1162294, member: 85747"] Midseason would be impractical, but for the 2024-25 season? Each remaining Premiership side has lost the revenue of three home matches for this season, compounding the problem that too many of these clubs were already making disproportionate losses. If the league loses another club, what are the likes of TNT, sponsors, season ticket holders and other stakeholders going to say? Are these owners going to be able or willing to go deeper into the red? Oddly enough, having posted this, I just saw an article about the RFU in talks over a British & Irish league which frankly I think is the only way to save the domestic game and avoid all the clubs imploding. CVC, the PE firm that own stakes in both the URC and Prem undoubtedly see the synergies. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/rugbyleague/rfu-confirms-talks-over-british-and-irish-league/ar-AA1iMFbH[/URL] It beggars belief that the clubs would knowingly commit to a product that cannibalises their own product and forces them to lose matchday revenue, let alone restrict scope from sponsorship and TV revenue.
