It would be a sell out crowd. Anything different to the norm attracts folks.

| Tbh, the game in its present state needs to put expansion ideas on the back burner for now. We've got dropping crowds and clubs skirting financial ruin to address first. Not to mention a governing body that has come up with new ideas for the league that are analogous to monkeys flinging their poop at each other.
That's. of to say I don't want to see the game expand, far from it. However, when the foundations of your house are crumbling, that is not the best time to start start building a new conservatory on the side.

Yeah you're right. We should never try it again because it failed after being done in a cack handed way 15 years ago. How you have the nerve to call someone else dumb I'll never know.

Listing one example 15 years ago is hardly an example of why something will never work. I think the tactic they used in 1998 wasn't the best (one round of fixtures played in random locations with no reason why they were there). I think if they were looking to build up interest in an area, they should stick to one place and spread the fixtures over the year.
Just some other examples of on the road games:
2013 - 15,000 in Toulouse (Catalans vs Hull KR)
2009 - 18,000 in Barcelona (Catalans vs Warrington)
1999 - 9,000 in Leicester (London vs Bradford)
1998 - 7,000 in Edinburgh (London vs Bradford)
1998 - 9,000 in Swansea (Saints vs Wigan)
And in 1998, your game against Wire at Cardiff Arms Park attracted 4,431. Your home game against Wire that same year attracted 4,130.

I didn't all him dumb, I asked if he was HTH
FWIW - try it every 15 years from now until the year 3000, taking a game to Plymouth (eg) and thinking the public will magically love our sport forever is ridiculous.
Some people on here can't grasp the fact others don't like the same sport they do and never will.

And look at the interest in the game in all the above places now, well worth the effort.

Are we talking about Castleford or Wales?
When Cas aren’t playing in a hole in front of 5 men and his dog they can lecture other teams on playing in front of 3 men and his dog.

Quite correct, there is zero interest in RL in Castleford

There can be as much 'interest' as you want but until that translates to people in the stands and pounds in the pocket its irrelevant.
