Prem Rugby play-offs shift to neutral venues for 2029-2030 season

The Prem Rugby play-offs will transition to neutral venues starting in the 2029-2030 season. This change aims to enhance attendance and commercial viability by staging both semi-finals over consecutive days in one city, potentially in Liverpool or Brighton. Current venues host around 15,000 spectators, whereas larger stadiums could accommodate more fans. This season's play-offs were deemed successful, but concerns about financial implications and maintaining home advantage persist. Club feedback on the proposal is mixed, with some eager for the increased exposure in larger cities.
