Quote: Barbed Wire "The difference is, if Halifax or Bradford got into Super League, it wouldn’t make mainstream media. Nobody outside of the same old would care, even many in RL circles wouldn’t bat an eye lid. Gate tickets earn nothing. If you think your club survives on tickets you’re deluded. It’s sponsors, screen time, corporate support and wealthy providers.
We’ve all moaned for years about the lack of coverage, if you have to buy column inches then so be it. Wigan bought names, actually they were attractions, in the 80’s. They were, and are still, a brand because of that.
If someone wants to plough in their money, good luck to them. Stop moaning and enjoy getting a bit more coverage, enjoy seeing SBW included in your season ticket price and enjoy a trip to watch your team in one of the best sports city’s in the world.'"
Well said! You are right on the money, if you will pardon the pun.
