Quote: Slugger McBatt "I'm not sure that's right, because the Grand Final, which is explicitly Super League focused, often has fans from all the clubs from all the leagues. It's just never recovered from the demolition of the old Empire Stadium, because other concepts grew, such as Magic, and the new Wembley doesn't have the tradition of the old Wembley.'"
Well, Slugger, you're not talking to the same folk I am. I know of two biggish amature clubs who used to run buses to Wembley, no longer do because nobody is interested in paying good money to watch, in their words, overpaid Aussies and has-beens. Ditto a number of Fev and Dewsbury fans who have no wish to shove money into an elitist SL event, their words, whilst their own clubs get sod all from SKY and occasionally get a resentful payday against a SL team.
People on here, not saying you, need to look and listen to what's being said and done ouside of the cosseted world of SL, it's not good news.
