Shadow minister Andy Burnham , a former culture secretary, is spearheading a bid to bring back promotion and relegation to Super League . “Winning the right to go up a level is the lifeblood of any sport,” said Burnham. “It provides the ‘dream factor’ that keeps clubs alive and gives hope to fans coming through the turnstiles.”
Minority sport on not, how any sporting league decides to run their affairs has, and should have, jack all to do with politicians. I’d suggest Mr Burnham concentrate his efforts on areas he is elected to be in control of, and maybe then he will have policies he can actually control and take forward with to a general election.
Wow, that turned out to be a much angrier rant than I had expected!
