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 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 en masse, the sport is stealing a march on its rivals.
Supporters are the lifeblood of all sports but rugby league is especially reliant on the fans’ impact. 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 will be among the first to experience the thrill of live sport once again.
