The problem is the RFL really do not want to be excluded from the debenture included matches, far from it. Guaranteed money at top dollar for those seats.'"
At last, someone gets it. Hardly any games at Wembley look sensational on TV and that is because of the problem of CW non-attenders, but also the fact that the toffs that tend to occupy the prime central seating bang opposite the cameras are by and large not much interested in what happens on the field either, and so when the second half kicks off, the cameras face swathes of empty seats.
It's an issue for forum handwringers and trolls and your typical RL whinge-about-anythingers, but not for the RFL, for the simple reason knockersbump states, we're in the club, and that guarantees them a fixed amount of CW income. The CW members paid; Wembley distributes the payment as per; the RFL trousers its share. And you seriously think they would give a shoiite whether or not WC seats are occupied? The aesthetics may bruise the tender hearts of some on here but money talks.
