last post on RLFANS goodbye

| Just been looking at the attendances for both days,and only 50k turned up. 
How do the clubs share the money?
It's not fair on teams that get healthy attendances have to share with teams that can't even pass the 3000 barrier if you know what I mean..
To me there is no magic touch in this, it's more like magic gone all wrong!!!!
Just how many would catalans take or even harlequins or crusaders to this game?combined not even a 100 i bet. |

It's an additional fixture so no team loses out on a home fixture for it.

Edinburgh pays the rfl a huge amount of money to take the game up there.
And as for catalans supporters last year there were over a hundred there(i wasnt there this year due to working) which is not bad considering the distance involved and the fact that most people are skint.

The clubs get nothing for it regardless of the gates. The RFL hordes all the money made on it including money from the Scottish Tourist Board. That is why the RFL push it like anything and everyone else, including the clubs, hate it.

The clubs get a fair handout at the beginning of each season curtousy of Sky which sets out there obligations- The clubs get nothing for away games, maybe we should play rugby over the phone.

Instead of guessing and then spouting it out as fact, why don't you find out what really happens? Ask your own Clubs what happens to the money from tickets they sell themselves.

WEST COAST PIRATES
NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_9857.jpg |

Hopefully the RFL make a decent wedge out of it which they they can use to improve marketing etc of the game. 50k is not a disaster, how much a ticket was it?

I had a word with my pigeons and my whippets, and they all agree with me that the Magic Weekend is a joke and a disgrace, and that no fixture must ever be played more than 10 miles from the M62 or A580 ever again.

The RFL get paid a lot by the Edinburgh tourist board. The clubs have one less round of games, but the same income. Allowing us room for a mid-season international to help the England side compete. The only thing that doesnt work about the weekend is that. Because the French are still rubbish.
