It's sad but true unfortunately. But you get people, like RLBandit etc, who like to claim anyone who talks them down must have their head buried in the sand and can't see the light like they do. If you praise one thing about RL they immediately label you as an RFL lover who thinks that EVERYTHING is perfect and great about RL in England.

As i've said before their is nothing wrong with criticism (pessimism even) if it's constructive, something along the lines of...........[i''it's a decent start regarding ticket sales, but they need to make sure they keep it up''.[/i
Not just [i''it's s**t and the whole thing is going to be rubbish''[/i.

Can you spot the difference you glass half empty lads??? That you can't even tell why people don't really like you means your judgment is questionable in the first place.......but if it makes you feel superior/better/smarter (which is what it's really all about with you guys deep down) then keep convincing yourself that the reason people don't like you is because we are [i'so jealous that you're ahead of the crowd and tougher to impress'.[/i

It is fair to guesstimate from the press release used at the start of this thread that about 80% of the tickets available for the RLWC are still available...it is also fair to say that 40,000 tickets for the final are available and less than 35,000 have been sold for the semis and 35,000 for the double header.....this is a real worry, as regardless of a late surge if England make the final, Wembley Stadium and the Millenium stadium less than half full will not be a good look on TV.......pointing that out doesn't make someone "desperate to see it fail"..
