The RFL will love it. They converted 1.7 million in cash into a few refrigerated Trucks last time....
Slightly off topic, but worthy of a mention in this thread, Magic Weekend saw 895,000 people tune in to watch the games on SKY TV.
Catalan v London 88k
Cas v Wakey 110k
Hull v Hull 182k
St's v Wire 167k
Salford v Widnes 53k
Bulls v Hudds 90k
Leeds v Wigan 205k.
An average of about 128k a game....what do the RFL need to do to get these fans into stadiums? The NRL brokered a chunk of their TV deal in advertising airtime.....do the RFL need to do the same? There were TV adverts here in NZ for every Warriors home game this year promoting event games with KO times and information....maybe SKY need to be squeezed into doing the same in the UK??

Go to BARB.CO.UK
Select top 10's,
Highlight Sky Sports 1,2,3,& 4 and select May and the last week.
It gives the times of KO so that's how I knew which game was which.

| Oh, TV viewing figures and stats:
"Magic Weekend saw 895,000 people tune in to watch the games on SKY TV."
Really ?
Are you sure that they're not just double counting the same people. If the peak figures were 205k for the Leeds game, there's a fair chance that these were exactly the same people (but in lower proportions) that were watching the other games.
You simply can't just add all the figures together!

| More than 1.6 million people attended a SL game this year, that's 1 in every 20 adults in the UK!

And you can't get your facts right, the 205k was for the Wigan game.

| Sorry, you're right, so that's 205k for the Leeds game and 205k for the Wigan game so 410k overall for that fixture.

| I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Williams thread, whether he had an ulterior motive or not.
I hope he has the time & inclination to do it all again next season, but it’s going to be a little trickier the year after, what with the proposed split and all ![Rolling Eyes icon_rolleyes.gif](images/smilies//icon_rolleyes.gif) .
Perhaps we could predict the league positions ala the real thing.
I’ll go for.
Percentage increase for league - 1.5%
Top club. Salford – Increase 35% (remember Salford fans, that’s just the top club in terms of attendance ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif) )
Bottom club – Wakefield – Decrease 27%. (Unfortunately Wakefield fans, probably correct on both counts ![Sad icon_sad.gif](images/smilies//icon_sad.gif) )

| For next year Hull KR should see a small increase with the North Stand open and season tickets being sold for in there. Also bigger potential gate for the derby.

I thought it was just for away fans?

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| Quote: BartonFlyer "It would be interesting, though I suspect impossible to do, to look at an age profile of the spectators.
On a purely subjective impression I believe that the average age of spectators at RL is increasing steadily. My worry, if that is true is that the downward trend that William Eve has identified is therefore inevitable.
To stop the rot and turn things around the game must look at it's attraction for the younger supporter (having a oversize mascot waving doesn't really count) and for families as a whole.
I agree with William's question - "Perhaps the game has to offer such bargains because the SL product isn't anywhere near as good as it's most ardent apostles and missionaries profess it to be?"'"
I have been advocating for 3 years now that Leigh do a full crowd ' Census ' every year to identify the trends ( including the average age of the clubs supporters ) for attending and to gain every ' customers ' details
Every business that has repeat customers will as a matter of course have all their details, basic business practice, it is criminal if they dont have them

| The most valuable commodity any business can have is Cash, cold hard currency in the bank
2 nd to that is Assets , especially those that can earn income
3 rd is information, information of your existing customers, and of potential new customers
Few clubs have cash, a few more have assets, all should have information, given the simplicity and cheap cost of communicating with modern methods ,it should be at the top of every clubs priority, probably more so than the big prop and fast winger
