Of course it has something to do with the Premiership , the closer we get to it the bigger its appeal to the fans , which in turn results in higher attendances and revenues .
And there is more trickle down money than ever before , the play off final is reported as one of the richest tournaments in the world (alledgly worth 160 million )
Before the Premiership if you got relegated to division 2 you didn't get anything like the millions you do now .
If we dislike the Premiership so much, why do we support and crave winning and promotion .
Am I missing something?
