Quote: Rob from Erith "Not the 'a local game for local people ' old chestnut again!'"
I am in favour of expansion, but the RFL need to reflect on why todays game attracted 9k less fans than last years New Zealand test, despite Australia traditionally being a bigger draw. Playing on a Saturday may have helped slightly, but the bigger issue is their marketing just isnt up to it.
If we are going to take the game to new areas it needs to be with a bang not a whimper, otherwise todays game may as well have been played in say Manchester to a bigger crowd, with more profit and less travel expense to the fans.
