Quote: Wellsy13 "Whilst we can no doubt look to an ideal world where all clubs are doing the same to attract fans, we're not in one.

Saturday had 3 local derbies involving 4 clubs with 10k+ attendances. The league leaders, last year's league leaders and the Grand Final winners. It was massively stacked. Only one club outside the top 6, and you could have predicted that before the fixtures came out.
Sunday saw 2 derbies and one left over game involving a foreign side against an underperforming small club. Only Hull were in the Top 6 before the weekend started, the rest lower league teams with much smaller fan bases. They completely put all eggs in the Saturday basket and relied on the Hull derby to at least shift a few tickets.

A better balance would have been to sway the Leeds/ Cas game with the Catalans/Salford game. Saturday would still have featured more big clubs, which shows you just how imbalanced the days were.'"


Agree that the balance of games could have been a lot better, but it also needs to move back to the Bank Holiday. Its strange that they play the challenge cup final, a 1 day, 1 game event on one but the two day, multi game Magic Weekend isn’t on one. It doesn’t help attract people for the Sunday as they have work in the morning.

Only issue is the football grounds wanting to take the pitch up to host concerts and do repairs, but if demand is as high as the RFL claim then surely they can start demanding the Bank Holiday weekend.

Quote: Cas Till I Die "Back to the usual snorefest over typed lines, I actually take it back you might be a politician. What makes you so smart that you know more than club owners whose interest it is in to make a business work ??? Maybe you should buy a RL club or start your own amateur club in an expansionist area and we can all watch as that club soars to the top of RL showing all others in the sport how it’s done ??? I can’t imagine thinking I’m so smart I have thought of thousands of ideas that club owners and marketing teams haven’t whose interest it is in to succeed.'"


Do you actually disagree with the notion that it's the clubs and not the RFL that need to take their proportion of the blame, or does it not just suit the preconceived notions held by you and others on this forum?

I've got plenty of experience getting people to attend events for a living - that's where my opinions and observations come from and it's why I don't fall for the "blame the RFL and get Eddie Hearn" nonsense. I've even discussed marketing strategies with two clubs in this sport so I've seen first hand what they're doing well and what they're not doing well. I'm guessing that gives me a slightly better insight than you and your pet seal Cokey?

Anyway, it's clear we're not going to agree so let's leave it there, eh? I can accept that I don't have it right all of the time but at the same time, this forum used to be a place where your ideas were challenged with reasoned counter-arguments, rather than childish retorts. It's a shame that one has to go to TotalRL for that sort of discussion now.

JESUS WEPT :WALL: HOW MANY TIMES????? £20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000. The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover. There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them. :BEAT::d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_76030.jpg
