Quote: ThePrinter "That these same fixtures took place on a pretty cold windy unpleasant February weekend this year...'"
The whole of Round 1 last year was played in atrocious weather conditions according to Nigel Wood, when he compared last years Round 1 average attendance to the average attendance for the whole of the 2011 SL season.
It goes without saying that the numerous sheep on this forum didn't question Wood's clumsily manufactured "water into wine" analysis but instead accepted it as universal truth of the RFL doing a fantastic job and further positive evidence of a sport on the march towards greatness.
If only they could get all the heretics onside with the same positive agenda for data analysis and interpretation.
