Quote: kiwileyther "talk about crowds at play offs,what about nrl games over fifty thousand at
broncos v st. george and expecting around eighty thousand at next game in play offs.thats because they arent trying to fast track foreign teams into nrl from outside the bread and butter teams that have been there for years.only four thousand n odd at wakey with the catalan fans arriving in the usual taxi.so rfl look after the teams that have made the great game in england what it is now ie wigan vsaints,leeds v bradford ect instead of the farce thats happening with celtic and others at the expense of the leighs widnes s.keep the heartland of rugby together and lets see fifteen to twenty thousand on a weekend with more of the old derby games i for one know what i would rather watch.'"
Seems to me that lots of derbies would hide poor crowds. Surely Wakey etc should be trying to get their own supporters through the gate instead of depending on away support to make the figures look better.
