I would agree but the where are we going to get the millions from apart from sugar daddy sponsors as the clubs dont make money & if SKY cant keep its revenue comming in we could well see our TV monies dry up then we realy will be up smelly creek with no paddle. (uncertain times ahead)

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.

| Quote: Mr. Zucchini Head "Manchester is a massive city with 2,000,000+ people there. There is at most 120,000 attending games in Manchester at any one time. Plenty of people left who can go watch a Rugby match, football is obviously big there but not everyone follows United or City.'"
Manchester has a population of 458,000.
If you're talking about Greater Manchester (the county), then yeah you're looking at 2.5million+, but that includes Wigan, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale and Stockport, which means far more than 120,000 are watching each weekend maximum. |

What next, is it going to be the RFL's job to sort out the pre-match entertainment?
The clubs between them have a hell of a lot more resources than the RFL, so why should this fall under the RFL?
This season we have seen initiatives like free Challenge Cup tickets, half priced Magic Weekend tickets for ST holders, over the past few years we have seen the emergence of home and away kids Season Tickets.
Do the FA or the RFU get involved with increasing their individual club's crowds?
The RFL do not necessarily have the local expertise to draw in the crowds in my local town (Warrington) for example. This is 100% the responsibility of the individual clubs. Of course if there is anything the RFL can support or help, then they should (see the above examples).

They should have, even if it's not full time. How will they grow as businesses without marketing and advertising? |

York City Knights have one, so I should expect Quins to have one. |

I was replying to this post by Dave T from Warrington
Quote: Wheels "Surely each team has their own marketing team, and community workers who have this in their remit? '"
So a ' team ' meaning more than one person , any less than 3 is a waste in my opinion , and this on top of F/T community staff otherwise they aren't doing their job properly
If that is not the case , what do York actually have ? |
