Discussion with LoL, Mark Evans, Owen Slot and dear SJ
Salient points: current situation is a game changer, possible National union could go under as some have no assets, Possible club(s) could go under Might suit CVC to loose 1 as we have 13 as this is better business model. Of course some Clubs don’t own grounds either.
Premiership won’t get any broadcast money so will CVC step in at some point to rescue their 27% investment? Clubs except for Chiefs have little reserves and in current situation can’t sell season tickets (ME said that) According to LOl (Director of Wasps) the CVC money was not to be spent on players nor pay off owners overdraft. Hence our screens I suppose with big discount for becoming a partner! They all think the game will come back stronger as people will appreciate what they missed? Not sure I entirely agree with this as with everything going on has not been a very inspiring season.

I feel that this is an opinion which varies from club to club and fan to fan.

The World Cup was incredibly popular and I’d imagine French national fans are having a pretty good season.

Likewise, Sale, Irish and Bristol fans will be generally happy whilst I can see how Tigers fans will be glad to get this season over.

Even the Sarries debacle is finally bringing some form of closure to a long-running scourge of the league.

Last season, the final few rounds were riveting because so many teams could (and were) win any game. This season looked to be equally close which makes it even more gutting that the season probably won’t reach much of a conclusion.
