He will be crushed under piles of used ticket stubs to RLWC games.

Yeah, I too imagine they'll be up in 2015. The only who wasn't keen to compare and started offering excuses (something fans on here are criticised for regarding RL attendances by the know-all brigade on here) was you for the drop between the last 2 RU WC's.

Wasn't an excuse....it was an observation regarding attendances at various World Cup in relation to the population of the host nations. You pointed our the drop in numbers as I'd it was purely down to lack of interest/demand.....I just showed you it wasn't that at all!

Shame you don't/haven't done that when William has posted negative figures,,,,,,,instead acting like one of his Kool Aid drinkers and praising his threads and findings and patting him on the back.

Shame you're 'questioning of figures' only stretches so far........and you only look for answers to either highlight RL's woes or downplay their good news.

Yes yes, before you all remind us.....you aren't a troll and just like William you're "concerned about the overall state of RL"........keep telling yourselves that, you might eventually believe it.

I like Billy's threads as they are pretty much factual based and don't rely on greyed out areas of stadiums and amateur forecasting.....I also enjoy the SmokeyTA element....gives it an edge




I don't question official figures....I question cryptic press releases. As for downplaying good news??? Show me some and I'll come back to you.....
No main comp sponsor
split in SL ranks as to RFL's ability to manage
RFL saying they've been too busy to find revenue streams


Bradford on the edge twice in 12 months, Wakey and London not far behind
RLWC consigned to access TV for the main
Yeah...it's the good news super highway at the moment




If I am a troll buddy, then I deserve an award for longevity....I want RL to do well in the UK but under the current management and governing body, it won't happen....billy does have a point....RL fans in the UK have got used to getting it on the cheap.....that's a tough habit to break!

1. His misery is based on what might happen, not a fact. No one knows how many tickets are sold and at what price. He is guessing, just as the optimistic amongst us are guessing it will be a great success. His depression is also based on his own perception that to sell a product cheap is a bad thing, when reality is selling a product at a price the market will carry but that still generates a desired profit is very goood business.
2. Neither do the Olympics or RUWC, or soccer WC. Best tell them they are failing badly!
3. The battle between clubs and governing body is part of RL fabric! I can't remeber a time in my 30 years supporting the game where the clubs weren't unhappy about something the RFL were doing.
4. can you reference this quote?
5. as has been the way with RL for ever (and prof soccer and prof RU and NRL and NFL). Clubs come and go, some are a success, some are a pile of poo (looking at you London!)
6. No its not, the big games that will generate the most interest and biggest audiences are on FTA in UK and all games are on FTA in many other world markets.
7. Perception forms your reality. Be miserable or be happy, it won't change what is happening, only the way you feel about the reality!

How do you not get why you're both greeted with such apathy on here? And it's not because people 'can't handle the truth', you even have some valid points to make. So why is it you get the response you do, come on if you really try and apply a little honesty I'm sure you're clever enough to know why.

17,000 posts from the other side of the world,to a British site in 10yrs - that really does tell you all you need to know about him.How truely sad and pitiful.

Hey stalker. How's it going? 11,000 of those posts were from London.......and 15,000 of the total are about London......care to guess what super league team I support?

Every site needs a dallymessenger. Gutters is filling fill the void since he and league freak disappeared!

lol
