Wakefield Trinity • Rugby league fans not included in return to live sports
Rugby league has not been selected to host pilot events for the return of fans to elite sport.
The Department of Digital, Culture & Sport announced a list of sports that would be used to test the return of supporters however rugby league was committed.
Instead, football, basketball, rugby union, cricket, speedway and horse racing will be the sports that are used.
It means Super League will have to wait until October to see fans inside stadiums, having applied to be a part of the pilot testing.
Super League’s fixture list has been loaded beyond October to allow clubs more opportunity to get spectators through the gates.
But for now, games will remain behind closed doors. Warrington’s Halliwell Jones Stadium will host this weekend’s action before a return to Headingley and Totally Wicked Stadium in September.
Big blow for RL clubs, more financial worries for the game,
