Quote: CowYed13 "So with a cost of living crisis and some increased ticket prices why do we think attendances are so good. Could the coverage on Channel 4 be helping to drive attendances to a wider audience. We have always had a good product but has never been marketed properly. Or are clubs upping their efforts to promote fixtures with the new IMG criteria’s on the horizon. Or is RL better Vanir than mother entertainment, football etc?'"
For me it's a mixture of Channel4 and the World Cup attracting new viewers, and also people feeling more confident to come back after the pandemic (2022 season tickets were on sale just as Omicron was on the march)
