Quote: FoxyDread "One thing I'd do to try and revitalise the cup final and to get more neutrals is allow the amateur clubs to sell tickets and keep 50% of the sales.
It could be tried as a two or three year experiment. If it succeeds the revenue to the RFL won't be hit and the amateur game gets a boost. If it fails the revenue to the RFL won't take a disastrous hit. Give it three years to see if the old tradition of attending the cup final can be restored.'"
It's a great idea, but I wouldn't be surprised if the commercial arrangements with Wembley prevent it in some way. Given the bunch of clowns that run RL I suspect the deal provides maximum benefit to Wembley and minimum benefit to the game.
