Quote: Wembley '83 "I can't speak for individual posters but there is strong evidence to suggest that the game's governing body is of the opinion that it works something like that. If it didn't it wouldn't judge clubs on their ability to fill stadiums to a minimum of 40% of their capacity, would it?'"


The game's governing body will be happy then as they achieved a capacity of 44%.

Away from the obsessive microcosm of rugby league fora, most normal people have the common sense to recognize context. Getting a not too disimilar number of fans to travel a couple hundred miles, to a neutral venue, in an area the game is not as popular, than would have watched the same at home is not unimpressive. As is being claimed. It is in no way comparable to playing in an empty stadium at home, for which most fans only need to travel a couple miles.

Michael.

[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg

Quote: gateaux "I didn't see one advert for the event anywhere!

Like I said elsewhere most of the locals I saw at the games were already fans of the game so was this really getting the new audience we wanted to?

I have spoke to a number of people since getting back (not all saints fans either) and most seem to think that overall the experience in Cardiff was a lot better but I guess people will have different views depending what they wanted from the weekend itself.'"


Saw a fair few adverts, flyers/posters outside quite a few pubs listing the games and times and saying they were showing them all on the TV, pretty well every shop I went in talked about the games, as did the driver of the taxi that took me back to the B&B on the Sunday Night.

Didnt have any trouble getting in the pubs either (5 of us, all blokes, some in shirts, some in jackets, but all identifiable as rugby fans).

Saw loads of people inside the stadium in scotland RU shirts, and a couple of Leicester RU shirts aswell).

For me, Edinburugh is a far better city, the only slight drawback being the stadium is a bit out on a limb.

'For a bonus point perhaps you could tell me the last English SL coach to lead his side to victory (either Challenged Cup or Grand final)? ....or perhaps records don't go back that far! Clive Woody 18.4.06, not able to remember last year! pray for him...... 'I shall take your failure to answer my question as an admission that there are few if any English head coaches in SL.' Clive Woody 18.04.06, proving his inability to count and plumbing the depths of trolldom.:22386.gif



Quote: shaver "hold the world club challenge as the last match of the weekend. that way the aussies cant moan about it bein a trial game and the weekend has a real important match headlining it.

that would leave 13 sl clubs to play each other. the odd one out could play the national league grand final winner just for fun.'"


then it wouldnt be a trial game, it would be an end of season jolly? nice!

what about holding the MM on the same weekend as the WCC? Still take it to Edinburgh or Egremont, or whatever. We get another game, it takes place at the beginning of the year and everyone is happy?
can someone run this one past Mr Graham please, to see how the players feel about it?
