Quote: moving on... "Noting against the fans, they're a cracking bunch. Always have a good laugh with them before and after games. But you have to admit... the game will never attract money or sponsors whilst games are played in quarter full stadiums. its amateurish and not attractive in a business sense in the slightest. It puzzles me why Huddersfield even bother to open all 4 stands in the first place. and the cameras always point towards the least popular stand .'"
you should watch top class NRL teams rattling around in 85 thousand seater stadiums with ten thousand people watching.
I think a game involving manly had just four thousand fans this year, it may have been less, but it looked like it was played behind closed doors.
Empty stadia doesn't affect the NRL's ability to attract tv deals or sponsorship. ....
