The Premiership's biggest mistake was to pay silly money wages.mol2 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2024 9:11 pm The Premiership has tried to function as a closed shop for years, with promoted sides having to achieve standards that, at the time, many of the existing sides didn’t meet.
As for attendances and being able to survive in the top division, that is probably not too relevant. Whilst takings from home games for sides like Tigers are not insignificant, the reality is that for most teams, sponsorship/sugar daddies and TV revenue is more important in terms of overall income.
Had the premiership had a more forward thinking approach to promotion and relegation with a “fairer share” to the second division it may not be seen as so catastrophic financially.
Indeed a top drawer division with 2 parallel second divisions including the Welsh teams as was would have been far better. 2 down from the Premiership with 1 up from the other 2.

The game went ahead last night with no issues. The Tigers friendly was being heavily promoted so all should be well.
