ESPN could get it or the BBC could still keep it this just means they are no longer made to show it

How can I miss you, if you won't go away????:17064.jpg



Quote: sally cinnamon "Why do we charge admission fees to come and watch Warrington?

Surely if we want to increase our exposure to the maximum audience possible, we should make it free entry.

The revenue lost from ticket sales would be more than compensated by the extra exposure....somehow, I think?'"

Seriously, its a lot more complicated than that, and I think you know it... icon_wink.gif

Using your example then.....If Wire decided to charge £35 to watch a match, compared to say a tenner, would we get the same attendance??...

More than likely, for £35 you'd get your real hardcore fans, with virtually no casuals turning up....for the tenner you'd get a lot more casuals.

Of course, its got to be a case of balancing up your budgets....Either take a hit in your wallet in order to gain more exposure, or simply go with your faithful followers and keep the purse topped up.

:



The League Cup is still well supported and thats on Sky - quite why folk are blaming Andy Burnham I`m unsure as the decision was made by a committee containing such RL illuminaries as Eamonn Holmes and Colin Jackson ...

You can moan about scrapping the CC or whatever but it`s still the one RL trophy that entire communities relate to as proved by 25k plus Wire fans at Wembley ...

In the case of league it makes more sense to go with your faithful followers, I seriously doubt that any potential new fans are 'recruited' to the game of rugby league by watching Ray French go on about the 6ft 3, 15 stone former Blackbrook amateur going in at the corner

In my opinion i like the coverage on BBC. but if the bbc drop it, what will replace it? Gymnastics? and TBH i think more people would enjoy a good old knuckle scraping game of rugby league than some woman prancing round in a leatard.
