Quote: orangeman "Twickenham in mid winter for Harlequins in December 2021 v Northampton got 72,785......Magic weekend even with 7 games hasn't beaten that.
What I have noticed this year is the PR machine at the RFL has upped it's game......nothing but positive spin and a huge effort to smash attendance records on opening weekend. C4 is huge.....decades too late, but still huge and on at a time where it'll be shown in pubs too....this could be the green shoots of the game realising that copying union instead of slagging it off might be a good idea'"
Be interesting to see if the C4 coverage raises the profile of the game. Saturday lunchtime is not a bad slot.
