I find it interesting as soon as you set a "standard", stadium improvements get planned

It happenned in the NSWRL in the 1970s

And something similar should occur today
Worked the opposite in a way

many rugby league clubs owned their own ground in England

then after the valley parade fire ? New standards came in to upgrade grounds and many rugby league clubs couldn’t afford this and lost their home grounds

Blackpool and swinton for example

Huge difference though between the safety regulations brought in after valley parade and Hillsborough, and what IMG is trying to get them to do which is very achievable for all clubs who want to be in SL. Its clear licensing has finally got clubs to invest in their stadiums (those that needed to) and that can only be a good thing in the long run.
