| Quote spooneryork="spooneryork":( How can you possibly be happy with the International game being compromised by having a clashing fixture with Leeds, the biggest club in the game, it beggars belief. It would never happen in the NRL or the RFU. I went to the last England v France game in Donny but i'm following York in London at the Quins double header, the scheduling is madness. I have not the slightest shred of confidence in our governing body.'"
IT DOES HAPPEN IN RU. ENGLAND PLAY ON THE SAME DAY AS CLUB MATCHES. IT DOESNT MATTER BECAUSE REALISTICALLY ONLY A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE WOULD ATTEND THE GAME AT THE STOOP AND THE GAME AT LSV. |

Correct! I think only football doesn't have top level matches played at the same time as internationals. Cricket's another which definately does! Easy to blame the RFL for everything though, isn't it.
Let's be honest, this is a game where people probably wouldn't have made a major effort to get to, England/USA or not. |

| Quote spooneryork="spooneryork"Sadly I have to agree. We have a great product marketed very very badly by the RFL, League fixtures clashing with Internationals, a cock up every time there is a Cup draw, massive gaps between Cup rounds, The game played under different points systems and even different names ; Super League and Rugby League, =#FF0000no effective PR and Media strategy, the list is endless. I can see the game just becoming more and more marginalised unless the governing body start performing. The International match should be given the priority it deserves or we will never put enough bums on seats to justify decent media coverage.'"
There you have hit the nail on the head , as you will know , most of my arguments involve the RFL's attitude to the Championships , but in all honesty they dont seem to have a ' strategy ' for any part of the game except the euro/pacific cups and the quad nations , which I will admit they seem to have got right |

| The football should be showed on the big screen at the stadium after the rugby finishes. Might even make a bit of money out it from beer sales etc.  |

| Quote saints35 bulls0="saints35 bulls0"presumably a lot of people dont want to go into a pub in Leigh which is likely to be full of skin headed England supporting yobs, where they cant take their kids and they cant get home from afterwards?
at the end of the day, most RL fans will have more than a passing interest in the football World Cup. Given that there is little possibility for most people to get to Leigh and away in time to watch the footy, most RL fans will take the option to watch it on SKY at home, then watch the footy afterwards.
If they dont do that, they will probably go to their pub in the hope of watching the rugby - but it probably wont be on.
At the end of the day, I can see the RL viewpoint (why should we reschedule our game because there is another sport playing?), but it seems to me as cutting your nose off to spite your face. There is no reason why it couldnt have been earlier on the Saturday afternoon, or on the Sunday, or on the Friday night. Who knows, after a rousing England soccer victory, it might have promoted a bit of national pride and get a bigger, more enthusiastic crowd out on sunday.'"

| Quote saints35 bulls0="saints35 bulls0"did you actually read my post in the context it was made?
the point raised was that you should go to the game, then go to watch the football in the pub. If you were doing that, you would have to go to a pub in Leigh so not to miss any of the game. If you did that, you would have to either not drink or drink drive, as there is no public transport system.'"
No I replied to your first paragraph which you knew did n`t you....  |

Especially when you consider that they showed the RU world cup final the other year after the Northern Union v All Golds Game at Warrington (although I've no idea whether or not anyone stayed to watch it). |

As for the it should be in London part, im guessing that confirms you are a troll.'"
I should have checked the prices i was goin g on last seasons for nations games where there were banks of empty seast in the most expensive parts of the grounds.
However my second point is valid about linking the international in with a couple of game sin London adn make it a day of RL. I am not sure why you have a problem with this.
For next year i would not be averse to Scorpions vs York, Cusaders vs Wigan and England vs France at the Gnoll or somewhere else in SW |
