Having this union 7s comp on the Gold Coast is all about testing the water to see is there is enough interest in union to put a super15/16 team there.

As a regular at Titans and GCU games i thought the same,2-3500 poss friday,10,000-12,000 sat i reckoned.

Yes,but with Queensland Reds just an hour upthe coast i doubt they could survive,they formes a team here a few years back,East Coast aces or something to play in the Aussie comp,it was a disaster and the folded after a year or two.The fans up here are a fickle lot,as the Titans found out last year.

i think they should and have it in dubai with top 8 of sl v top 8 of nrl.

Interesting? Did they use a different counting system at the 7's turnstyles that they use at GCT games? Sevens crowds, rarely sit and watch the games........they are mostly to be found in the car park/consourse area, sleeping, drinking, throwing up or drinking more so they can sleep or throw up...or both.

As for

...not a chance o success based on 7's crowds. Wellington sells 72,800 tickets in 5 minutes...the Hurricanes struggle to average 11k........

7's in the Union code has very little to do with the "game"....it's the event...which involves group attendance, fancy dreess, excess booze and a "brillian time"
