BTW those saying how much better Union club attendences are these days don't forget the figures are massively skewed by the annual wembley games (where large numbers of tickets are given away...I'm not knocking that we should do the same for Millenium Magic to get local kids there).

Plenty of top flight Union clubs are struggling with over-inflated salaries, low attendances and internationals disrupting the season/taking away attention. So it's no gold plated standard that we can compare SL to.

PS I live in Gloucestershire and work in Bristol so am giving my perspective as someone living in a Union "Heartland"

Quote: batleyrhino "The problem seems to be that RL fans want to turn RU into RL (hence my tongue in cheek statement above), rather than just enjoy RU for what it is, a different game.'"


As I mentioned above even the authorities behind Union don't seem to be able to decide whether they want to turn the game into RL.

Completely agree that RU has adopted some RL style changes over the last few years, but to be honest I think it would be a bit of a shame if they went much further. It's a long time since we had the kick-a-thons of the late 80's on Grandstand every January / February, and the game now is much more watchable, (probably due to the RL influence) so I would be happy for RU to stay as it is, for at least the time being.

Its usually only unwatchable to those who have never seen a competitive scrum in RL, once you understand the difference between the codes in how a team treats its possession then it all falls into place, or should do to those of a reasonable intelligence.

'Annual Wembley games.' Isn't that a bit of a contradiction?

The RFL's figures will be skewed by MM except even when they practically give tickets away they can't half fill the stadium.

It should be an open house showpiece event for the game with the costs being met by the host city whose local economy receives a massive boost. Cardiff alledgedly paid £500K to host the first one, I wonder how much the RFL are now paying for this one?
