Not so much bizarre as a clash of cultures: Aussies can`t understand why we don`t go a bundle on regional matches and we can`t get a grip on why they don`t play knock out cup competitions. Vive la difference, I say. By all means suck it and see but looking at the crowd figures for our previous regional championship games we`d be lucky to get a sponsor never mind a crowd.
Have the Aussies ever had a KO cup comp? If they did, did it ever take off or was it a failure from the start?

Do they really not have a knock out cup?

Why not?

My guess is that it`s just they way you`re brought up. In the UK we`re constantly told tales of derring do about the cup and about the supposed `magic` of Wembley, how important cup finals are, how great is is when you win, etc etc we take it in with our mother`s milk. We`re so indoctrinated with it that it makes us think the old Wembley stadium was a wonderful ground, when it was actually a bit of a dump in the middle of an industrial estate.
Like many things which are cultural it probably isn`t quite so wonderful when viewed from the outside, hence the Aussies can`t understand what all the fuss is about. For what it`s worth SOE probably falls into the same category, it`s just, on that one, we`re the ones looking from afar. |

Many Aussies talk about the challenge cup and remember watching it as a boy etc etc
Their lack of a cup comp is probably more due to the extra games it would involve for players and perhaps devalue the league comp a little |

Aussie players always say that don`t they. Maybe they do, I ` don`t know to be honest, maybe they just say what they think we want to hear sometimes. I don`t know about Aussie fans saying it though.
Funny thing is I know lots of people here who `always` watch the SOE on Telly but we still never get big crowds for our attempts. It`s something that`s hard to explain, I guess. |
