Quote: William Eve "The official attendance for the BIG HIT double header semi finals event during the RLWC was 67,575 but that figure includes Club Wembley which accounts for 16,532 seats. Anyone who attended knows that very few of those Club Wembley seats were occupied, therefore the real attendance was closer to 53,000.

Who claimed that a year long promotion campaign is a bad thing?

I don't recall the exact price I paid but it was a relatively decent seat at the old Wembley in the middle to upper tier region behind one of the corner flags and I paid something like £25 for mine. There were cheaper seats behind the sticks but they won't have been a great deal cheaper than what I paid. Factor in historic inflation rates rlutilising this linkrl and £25 back in 1992 would equate to around £47 today.

rlHere is a more expensive ticket priced at £37 in 1992 which would equate to around £70 todayrl

Loads of tickets for the BIG HIT double header in 2013 were on offer at between £10 and £20 including free RLWC beanie hats in some cases.'"


I might be wrong but the club wembley tickets were on General sale and if my memory is right it was pretty full in that section.

"Look, I'd never use injuries as an excuse..." Daryl Powell:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23603.jpg



Quote: Him "I think we'll see a boost of "interest" from Sky when they lose the Champions League. I've heard that the new tv deal might, and I stress the word might, not be exclusive in terms of the Challenge Cup and Internationals. Which if true would be great. You'd get the big exposure of being on BBC along with Sky not ignoring the competitions all season long.'"


Didn't they share the CC QFs a season or so ago? From what I recall the BBC exposure wasn't too bad but Sky's side of things didn't hold up too well.

"The Golden Generation finally has its Golden Fleece! They have Wembley Cup Final winners medals to add to their collection." 23/08/2014:

They haven't really got into the CC yet have Sky and not always bothered showing games when they could've BUT previously they had second choice on games after the BBC and really most rounds only feature 1/2 stand out ties. From their point of view why make a big deal about or even show the 3rd best tie of the round (which won't even be that great) when you won't even get to show the semis or final?

That was the theory, although for reasons that entirely escaped me at the time, the BBC passed over Fev v Cas which was, by most peoples' reckoning, the tie of the round.

The most puzzling and frustrating thing for me was that after showing Fev beat Cas in that game and then give us (Wigan) an almighty scare in the next round that Sky declined to show any cup ties in the years since.
