Mainly the British clubs - the ruling RFL council includes all the professional UK based clubs and 7 representatives of the community game (main amateur leagues, students, armed forces etc). Nothing can be passed without at least 4 Super League and 4 Championship clubs agreeing so the clubs rule the roost. There's a big difference in size of infrastructure with those clubs though. The smaller clubs would probably equate to a local non-league club here with volunteers keeping the show on the road and pay match payments rather than contracts. The Super League clubs however have academies and community programmes more in line with the EFL. In football you can't survive at higher levels without infrastructure and revenue streams (witness Yeovil, Burton and Scunthorpe in the Championship) where as in Rugby League the lower sums of money involved mean you can. There are two current Super League grounds that make the Memorial Ground look palatial! The idea behind the vote is really to encourage investment and grow the sport's footprint. That's a problem football will never have.

This now up on YouTube and well worth a watch.

Sadly not too many years ago our "fans" ripped the urinals off the wall at Millwall during the first half. Every village has its idiots.
