And there's some of that too. I never said they were solely from Sale and I even think that strengthens my point.

I think you started off by saying the small district of Sale.....so if you think that my post strengthens your point I'd politely ask you to think again

I don't think anyone would want Salford or any
Club for that matter go under but the game in general
needs a new approach. Look at the challenge cup
Final and the grand final we need fans from all clubs
to buy tickets just so it's full. The teams who make the final have a mad rush to start with then after a few days of sales you may see the odd advert on the club's web site but no real push to sell the game and are happy with the sales of tickets and merchandise this maybe down to short turnaround but social media should be full of offers for our sport.

The saddest part of our great game is that no one entity, either clubs, ruling bodies or tv can be bothered to promote the game beyond the basics. The introduction of NA teams will bring this to a new level and probably give others some new ideas!

The small district of Sale .... 134,022 (2011 census)
Castleford......................... 40,210
St Helens ..........................102,629

Everything is relative.
Or in St Helens case...everyone is relative.
