Super League will take centre stage in the UK’s sporting landscape as the turnstiles to live events open this week
Rugby league’s decision-makers have never been known for their savvy but on Monday evening Super League will take centre-stage in the UK’s sporting landscape as the turnstiles to live outside events open for the first time in months. After the competition wisely decided to move five of this weekend’s six fixtures to allow spectators to attend, the sport is stealing a march on its rivals.
Supporters are the lifeblood of all sports but rugby league is especially reliant on them. Even the competition’s leading clubs, with their wealthy backers, have not been immune to the effect of playing behind closed doors for the past year. Now its fans can experience the thrill of live sport once again.
