Quote: Grendel "Yeah, what a "big" opportunity.
Put some adverts up for MM so that the big-match-occasional urine-heads can see them.
Here's the massive gaping flaw in that genius idea.
Wales is NOT a rugby mad nation. More people watch football (though more people PLAY rugby - at least in the South). Wales IS however, an INTERNATIONAL rugby mad nation. The Welsh Union regions COMBINED get less spectators than Leeds do on their own, but the national team (when it's winning) could sell out 5 times over.
Welsh rugby PLAYERS and serious supporters watch, enjoy and are often quite knowledgeable about League (MOST often supporting Wigan or Warrington). On the Wales v Scotland weekend these potential fans will be playing, or be up in Scotland or watching on their own TVs or in their favourite local pub.
What comes into Cardiff that day, will be the shrieking kok-hungry red spangly stetson wearing twice divorced harpies, orange skinned punch-drunk 'roiders and "fans" who couldn't name a Welsh rugby player outside of the national side, or even a Welsh TEAM below the regions, but irrationally hate League because their dads were annoyed at the diaspora of Welsh Union talent in the '80s.
There are thousands of potential League supporters in Wales. It just ain't THOSE people.
Stick to threads about jerseys Crucru.'"
always thought that was the case. people say RU is the national sport then cardiff city and swansea get these massive crowds which dwarf unions clubs crowds, and neither soccer club is in the Premeir League.
imagine if cardiff manage to get promoted?
