Thats why I said through club sales. I can see Hull taking more also. Sales through rfl website and stuff dont count I dont think.

He is right though, Tigerade talks rubbish, and is obsessed with sneering at Trinity.

That's my point, no idea why you brought the other stuff into my response.

"Officially"??? That article on Cas' site doesn't even say how many they've sold and I'd seriously question if they know how many the likes of Leeds, Wigan, Hull etc. have sold.

Yes officially. They posted 2 days prior that we had sold over 3500 and that we were the highest selling club playing sunday and 2nd of the weekend only behind FC.

The club then updated that saying we had now sold the most.

I'm pretty sure they wouldnt make two unsubstantiated claims unless they didnt know for certain.

Edit. In fact they've just just tweeted it again. Seems they are quite proud of the achievement and rightly so. icon_biggrin.gif

So in the last two days they've been in contact with the Hull ticket office who have happily kept them updated with how many they're selling on a daily basis. Ok then and are they also accurately aware of how many fans have bought their tickets directly through the RFL and not through their club?

Unsubstantiated claims....in marketing.....nah no one ever does that icon_lol.gif

And you don't think clubs are in contact with the rfl / giving & receiving ticket updates? Or that they don't know how many each were allocated?

I said originally that obviously wasn't including tickets through the rfl. Simply tickets bought through the clubs.

No way have Castleford sold the most tickets for the magic weekend....Catalan Dragons have (you silly Yorkshiremen) Jean from Chorley told me, and also DGM confirmed this to be true. icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

On a side point, after years of sneering from 'big' clubs on here about how the 3 clubs in the area should merge as we would never offer anything to the game with our own identity would it be a stretch to say the 'big' clubs (with recent succcess) should be doing a bit better with ticket sales ? If a town with a 40,000 population is in the top 2 for direct ticket sales, clubs such as Wigan, Saints, Wire and Leeds have sold less than 3500 presumably ? Should clubs such as Leeds with a population of over half a million people be looking to aim a little bit higher ?

From a slightly different angle, in the round ball game, FC Halifax Town and Chorley mustered a crowd of almost 8000 for the National League North play-off final last weekend. That's in the 6th tier of footie in England.

It just demonstrates that sporting events can attract spectators if the vibe is right, even when the quality on show is, let's say, lacking.

How to change things in RL for MW/SB I'm not sure (albeit Fax will almost certainly have more in Blackpool than they have at most home games??), but by asking fans to travel for the weekend (and pay for accommodation) is a bridge too far from a financial perspective probably for the majority.

Couple of points: not all fans of the "big" clubs were/are in favour of a cas/wakey/fev merger. And yes, the big clubs could and should aim higher than 3.5k.

If it is true, and Cas have sold the most tickets selling 3.5k, then unless the RFL have sold as many directly than the clubs have combined the attendances are going to be atrocious.

Hull had sold over 4,000 by last weekend, and that is only the ones directly from the club and not the ones bought through the RFL or other means.

However, I agree, if all clubs sold 4k, then that is still only 48k over the 2 days which is poor

Exactly, if all clubs had sold the what we are hearing the the highest numbers are the RFL will still be needing to sell another 20k to get it respectable.

When I went to Cardiff (as a lone Leigh fan with a Saints B.I.L) having bought well in advance, I found out that if you walked up to the tourist office/centre & asked "what is there to do in Cardiff today" you would be given multiple free tickets to MW.

I suspect this will happen again.
