Quote: davids " As stated above, if the RL was a serious marketing machine*, some serious analysis such as 'x amount of people live within 30 minutes travelling distance of this ground, yet their crowds are very small' might be a helpful starting point. Resources and expertise could be directed to helping that club survive and prosper.

The RFL is little more than Rimmer and a few staff.
I'd guess there is well over a Million people 30 minutes away from Wakefield Trinity in Barnsley, Rotherham and Sheffield??
Good luck to anyone trying to boost Trinity's crowds from that angle.
What Trinity need is a modern ground to boost local support. The modernisation of RL grounds was certainly the catalyst for improved attendances and higher income pro rata..
