In June 2020 the case was adjourned and a provisional date given then of 7th June 2021.

doing nothing is never the answer but having a petition of any number of people will not guarentee it ever being successful and people get what they want. signed too many in the past with very little positive outcome in the end.

I think with the outcry which followed the super league and the super 6 involved having no consideration of what the fans wanted or thought may just help this in the long run

that put football in the national news instead of rumblings of discontent among fans. the only problem is how independant the regulator will end up being and who will get the job anyway. its either going to be someone already in the game or someone with no clue what the average fan is like. even someone with the best intentions can have their heads turned with the constant meetings with those at the top of the game. hope i,m wrong but things have gone too far now for any real changes in the game where the majority of fans will be happy.

Suspect you’re right, MH.
So many ‘czars’, ‘commissioners’, ‘watchdogs’, ‘regulators’, ‘ombudsmen’, etc, etc seem to end up pretty ineffective, but keep at it for the allowances.
