Thanks for confirming you're delusional. And saying that Union clubs are in financial difficulties is not a justification for why RL in the UK is in the state its in. And why tv deal money is down and why the sport is still so dependent on a single broadcaster. This is not sustainable.

The Castleford owner is expressing real concern around the lack of income in the coming years. Why is he concerned?

Just because Hull KR got some half decent crowds, it's not a reflection of the overall health of the sport and it doesn't translate to the national sentiment towards the sport which is at its lowest point.

It provides context that this isn’t just a rugby league problem. It’s a problem for all team sports in uk where soccer is so dominant.

I’ve provided some facts re crowds, you’re just providing opinion.
crowds are pretty good, tv audiences are some of the biggest ever. What we now need is stonger clubs with bigger fanbases and the sport to have more profile and more general interest. IMG have got 9 more years to try and solve a long term historical issue for rugby league.

Really? A winning team gets bigger crowds, a losing team gets smaller ones? Geez thanks for that Einstein lol

HKR crowds are the best they have ever been in over 100 hundred years, around 20% up on our greatest success period of the 80’s. So yes winning helps a lot but it’s not the only factor at play.

Cutting deadwood like London helps as well. Big clubs will lead to big money eventually.

You're a small time alternative to Hull proper. The crowds will shrink soon enough
