I doubt we'll be back before the start of the 2021 season.

| Seriously, this latest news stalling the test pilot experiment, is unbelievably bad news for our game, without cash coming in, and the dire consequences of people’s perspectives of purchasing season tickets for 2021 may sound the death knell for some of the rugby league family.
In an ideal world our puppet master Sky, would have come in and protected its assets, nullifying contracts, and bailing out struggling clubs, we know Sky only care about subscribers, and the absence of supporters is not high on the agenda, but without a sport to televise, and the possibility of players looking for other occupations, there is no business left.

| Going to be a seismic shift in the game methinks. Think we had half a chance if we could get supporters back in. Landscape changes now unfortunately, and who knows what we end up with.
Grim news for the sport.

Indeed and Rl will not be alone in this with noises coming from football league clubs also facing similar issues. The EIHL announced last week following a meeting that all 10 clubs had voted unanimously to suspend the 2020/2021 season and the NIHL announcing this week its delayed the start of the 2020/2021 season to January, I would imagine that this news today may well scupper those plans too.
So all in all its a very bleak prospect for the any pro sporting club as many rely on the fans outside of the premier league but not even sure they will be unaffected by this the longer it goes on.

As ccs has previously pointed out even if we had 8000 fans in the ground it would hardly make any difference to the clubs finances as most would be Passholders who have already paid.
That said i agree its bad news

It’s about the game as a whole Bonaire, but take our own loyal pass holders, after the season ends, I usually purchase three passes for Christmas, but who knows what the 21 season will bring, will most invest in these circumstances, not being able to attend, many will be hesitant to even consider mixing. due to CV19, extremely difficult for AP, and other clubs in the rugby league.

Keeping the pass holders in the habit of going helps pass sales for next year and helps shift some merchendise, people would buy cold weather merchendise for example.
As things stand even if by magic things turnaround and theres a guarantee next season starts 'back to normal' pass sales will be hit. Some simply cant afford it, others will be out the habit or havent missed it, our form isnt inspiring either.
Battle for suvival now sadly, think we wont replace the big names and will stick with Last due to cost. As much as im fed up with midtable mediocrity id rather we stay in business.
